We are more than pleased to announce the Grateful Dead's most ambitious release ever: 30 TRIPS AROUND THE SUN. Available as both an 80-disc boxed set and a custom lightning-bolt USB drive, the collection includes 30 unreleased live shows, one for each year the band was together from 1966 to 1995, along with one track from their earliest recording sessions in 1965. Packed with over 73 hours of music, both the boxed set and the USB drive will be individually numbered limited editions.

The 80-disc boxed set is individually numbered and limited to 6,500 copies, a nod to the band’s formation in 1965. Along with the CDs, it also includes a gold-colored 7-inch vinyl single which bookends the band’s career. The A-side is “Caution (Do Not Stop On Tracks)” from the band’s earliest recording session in 1965 with the B-side of the last song the band ever performed together live, “Box Of Rain” recorded during their final encore at Soldier Field in Chicago on July 9, 1995.

The box also comes with a 288-page book that features an extensive, career-spanning essay written by Nick Meriwether, who oversees the Dead archives at the University of California, Santa Cruz, along with special remembrances of the band submitted by fans. Also included is a scroll that offers a visual representation of how the band’s live repertoire has evolved through the years.

The USB drive version* will be shaped like a gold lightning bolt with the Grateful Dead 50th anniversary logo engraved on the side. The drive includes all of the music from the collection in both FLAC (96/24) and MP3 formats and is an individually numbered limited edition of 1,000 copies. Digital version of the book also included on USB.

Shows will NOT be sold individually on CD. This release is sure to sell out quickly so pre-order your copy today and stick around as we will be revealing a mighty fine selection of music, art, and much, much more right here.

(Looking for a smaller 50th Anniversary commemorative keepsake? September 18th will see the release of a four-CD version of the collection titled 30 TRIPS AROUND THE SUN: THE DEFINITIVE LIVE STORY 1965-1995. More on that here.)

Don't think the $750 is

Don't think the $750 is necessarily frozen.

Ordering cont'd

So it turns out my first order was probably cancelled, but then it did go thru. Although by then it was ordered again and without incident- this time it took 2 minutes, smooth sailing. This wouldn't be a big deal, but, and this is a big but- That $750 is frozen, even though the order didn't (or did?) go thru. I'm not one of the Carnegie descendants- I can't throw around $750 credit card authorizations like jelly beans at a Jolly Rancher Festival. Hopefully the card isn't actually charged until September, so I can live on Jelly Beans and Jolly Ranchers until then. Never had a problem ordering here before, and hopefully never will again- but what a fiasco.

LOL!!

To all those who are scared to purchase for fear of the wife"s wrath ( I am one too). I ALWAYS think it"s better to beg for forgiveness rather than ask for permission. I think it will apply in this case. I'm really happy to see the 92 show from the hammer in there. I think if this box is done right, if everything promised is delivered, than this box just might win a Grammy. Thank-you for doing this .

Salt Lake

Salt Lake 2/95 weren't the best shows I ever saw, but they were fun, the 21st was definitely the best, and they were the best seats I ever had for a 3 night run. Remember when ordering on the phone old fashioned pre-internet days, I got thru after ten minutes BEFORE the 10 AM or whenever it was on sale hour about 9:57 or 9:58 and the ticket master lady was cool and told me she'd put me on hold until the hour struck. She came back to me before 10:05AM and told me she had 12th row Phil zone, 10th row center and 4th row Vince for his birthday show, three tickets each night. Was I stoked. So close we probably scared the band, as Damone would say. Remember noticing how snow-white jerry's 52 yr. old hair looked all of a sudden. Ticketmaster lady, wherever you are now, God bless ya forever. Scene was surprisingly mellow too, for Mormon town Salt Lake, we were expecting paranoia.

Customer Service

Customer service for the GD store gets bashed around here often, and with good cause. I am going to relate the flip side. I called when I was hung up in the circle of death and the guy took my name and number and said he would call me back when the system was fixed and taking orders. He did just that this evening and walked through the one order that did go through and the four that were approved to make sure I didn't want them to actually go through and be charged. His quote was he wanted to make sure I got what I wanted and didn't get what I didn't want as a result of the tech issues. That's good customer service right there.

Got to have it!

First of all Worcester does not have an "h". Now that being said I was at that show and it was fantastic. Yes I have many of these shows in excellent quality but I have been begging Dave and Mark P for over 10 years for the 10/12/84 Augusta show and now that they have made this part of the box, I just had to buy this. Plus I always said I would buy these releases as part of my gratitude for all the free music. So here we go and I can't wait to get this. 10/12/84 Morning Dew!!!

That's great Annalee10. Congratulations! I had to check my box to see if there's something hidden in there...turns out I'd already listened to the bonus disc. It was a great surprise for you though!

free shipping

Huskerwing-I don't know if you went out of your way to choose the more expensive shipping, maybe they'll charge you that if you want to pay it, but if you chose one of the two cheapest,-$34.95, think it was?-you saw a credit of that amount before you clicked the final order, as state sales tax should have been the only extra charge if your state has one. Mine was $751 and change total here in NJ. The spring '90 and '77 sets had shipping charges as well but this one and the Europe '72 included shipping. No real point in choosing pricier shipping since it's not coming until Sept. anyway. You can try and change it now if you want, but have to start over again most likely.

Yeah, it's some big bucks....

....but I've downloaded everything available from archives.org, most of them sound damn good, especially if you come from the tape trading days. When I think about some of the tapes I had!! I wish they sounded as good as the archive.org stuff (the Charlie Miller cleanings and posting are great). I laid out the big bucks, I'm lucky enough to have the green. I have all the big sets since Europe 72, they look good on the shelf. I've been wondering where and when this summer's set would come out,,, just check deadnet yesterday looking of what and when, but no go. Then today the email came. But if you really want shows, check archive.org. I'm also sure you can find fellow heads who will share what they have. Now I need to know if I got charged multiple time,,, oh and what Dave's Picks 15 will be!

I got in on the second try...

Like (some of) you my order looped for a few hours. I phoned the cust service # and a very nice woman told me to wait it out, that she had been told that. I could tell from my router connections manager that my connection to the website was no longer there and clicked off. I emailed customer service and had a response that my order hadn't gone through, that their system had been broken for much of the day, to try again, and that the pending CC charge for the first one will be removed in a few days. My second attempt went through in seconds. So I'm covered, and maybe you can be too. My worry is for those whose CCs maxed out due to the "pending", and yet they're not getting anything for having their card tied up. I'm hoping they will be treated fairly and have their order filled; since the logs should show that they tried.

Vocals

Can someone please tell me why in gods name Phil is singing lead vocals??? Why won't they let trey sing? This was my biggest fear....

DS

That was the most subdued dark star I've heard, have only heard pre-95 before but that was weak

Good call....

....going with Trey. He's getting it done!! Impressive.

DS

Just FYI, Jeffeis' comment was made less than halfway thru DS. They made a pause and launched into a nice jam followed by the second verse and then a segue into St. Stephen

Nice Celebration

Man I don't want to be a downer and I truly appreciate this last hurrah, very positive show but let's face it when its dark star into st stephen just to keep pace, the vista cruiser has long been retired. So many beyond description performances by this band, this show is a great reminder / remembrance, guess I'll leave it at that - and that too is truly special, dont mean to diminish but this bands legacy casts an impossible shadow...

Lovelight -> Drumz....

....and people are bitching?!

continued....

...space -> What's Become of The Baby

onward..

...The other one followed by Morning Dew

Casey Jones....

....at the stroke of midnight. Bravo!!

The End

Thank you and GOOD night!

Setlist 6/27

Truckin>UJB>Alligator>Cumberland>born cross eyed>Cream puff war>viola lee blues Set 2 Crypt>dark star>st Stephen>the eleven> Love light>drums>space> what's become of the baby> Space>the other ones>morning dew> Casey jones... And this isn't part of the package for sale because?!

Wow !! Setlist craziness

I still need to hear the show,, hopefully Sirius has it going today,, Anybody have any favorite highlights ? The pictures on Instagram from Santa Clara looked pretty cool and hopefully all had a mighty fine time. Tonight the Sunday show could be pretty heavy on tunes from 1971-1972.. And some from 1970, like Dark Hollow I'm thinking tonight will be songs like Greatest Story Ever Told Jack Straw Black Throated Wind And for Sure has to Have a crunchy - Not Fade Away > GDTRFB > NFA - as part of big second jam EDIT : Check out the pics of the massive Rainbow hanging over the Levi Stadium,, Captain Trips was definitely somewhere over the rainbow

reading some of the reviews

Last night was listening to a FOB 08/06/1971 - great, great energy... has this ever had an official release? Phil singing huh? he could be rough on his best day, back when... i prefer the music from the past, and NOT just for the Dead, really doesn't matter, for me it is like an athlete - at some point you just aren't as good, I think anyway - like being on the seniors tour? I get AARP stuff so i am there too :)

@owlshead re: live releases of 8/6/71

Per deaddisc.com: Aug 6, 1971 1 live song Fallout From The Phil Zone, Grateful Dead, 1997 Aug 6, 1971 5 live songs Road Trips: Vol 1, No 3: Summer 1971, Bonus CD, Grateful Dead, 2008 Aug 6, 1971 7 live songs Dick's Picks, Vol. 35, Grateful Dead, 2005 P.S. re: The Dead show, I stayed up late enough to learn about the opener. So glad folks had fun! Have a grate summer all.

owlshead, if you like 8.6.71

go down the road about a week later,, Berkeley Community Theater August 14-15, 1971. Very nice and similar to the two nights at the Hollywood Palladium.

Re: Bolo24 Contest

I should have just guessed Loser instead of Feel Like a Stranger. lol

So cool

I watched it in my living room so not quite the concert experience but man how often do we get to see the guys play some true "live/dead" era stuff--definitely not what I was expecting but really a fun time! Early 70s theme tonight?? American beauty/workingmans dead? Can't wait to see. To all the people complaining, please remember that it's not 1977 anymore. These guys are in their 70s and still rocking out. Open your mind a little and be grateful for what we have. Have fun to all the folks going/watching/listening tonight!

owlshead

Great analogy - Tiger Woods comes to mind.

Anybody else guess Truckin' and enter at start time 6:00pm ?

Any guesses on tonights opener and closer? I had a good feeling Casey Jones would close a set last night and sure enough it was the encore. Somebody posted they opened with a Smokestack tease. I thought for sure it would be Truckin' then a Smokestack.. Any guesses for tonight set openers and closers.. I think tonight will close with Brokedown Palace.. Opener is a tough call,, I would say Promised Land for opener but I think they wanna open with a longer barn burner,, So most likely Dancin in the Streets as tonight opener

My guess...

Good Times at 6:00. Boy was I way off. That was one killer setlist.

Santa Clara webcast

What an interesting experience, my first live stream and it went well even though it was a laptop on wifi with some PC speakers. Total lack of preshow banter and the set break was like a screensaver that got beat quickly, I would have preferred the soundboard camera shot like they had before the show began. Yes, I'm a picky Deadhead, but this was okay, which is one of my higher post Jerry ratings ;) The fact I can take the webcast on tour to visit friends and rewatch with them through July makes it even more appealing and I'm seriously thinking about going for the Chicago webcasts and taking them on the road in July to visit some old tour buddies. Going to be hard to beat that setlist though, even if they keep up the chronological theme, it's all downhill from here as far as my tastes go. That's what keeps me from pulling the trigger on the Chicago ones, it's going to be hard to match Live Dead AND What's Become of the Baby.

6/28 opener...

Bertha

Last night

Great set list, but they really could have rehearsed more. The whole Live Dead segment was shakey, and I thought they didn't really get it together until Morning Dew and Casey Jones.The drummers were solid, keyboards were low-key all night; Phil, Bob and Trey appeared lost at times. Hope things improve tonight.

Cream Puff War

Cream Puff War was the best tune of the night! Phil needs to turn more vocals over to Trey. My one takeaway from last night would be to shorten the jams-they were too aimless and none seemed to really go anywhere. No need to jam for the sake of jamming.

6/27/15

The band sounds good!!! Some nice footage on youtube

Last night...

Sounded like practice to me.

PLEASE a little Help

A little shakey on this online streaming business...Have the House to myself and would like to see the show. What is the easiest way and How?? I have an ipad, a BLU RAY and one Desktop computer. Would like to watch on the big TV though.Any Possibilities here?? I appreciate the Help!!

kevinbrandon

Assuming you have an HDMI port on your TV, and a Wi-Fi network in your home, the easiest way would probably be with Chromecast or Roku or the like. Edit to add links to info: http://www.dead50.net/watch-listen/ http://www.dead50.net/youtube-supported-devices/

Question....

....purchased the first Santa Clara show through youtube. How can I replay it?

God Bless Chris Squire

Gone too soon

Re.: Webcast questions

Vguy- I have been unable to replay on Youtube, either. It just says the live broadcast is over with a frowny face. Kevinbrandon- based on the three devices you mention, your desktop computer is the best option. Note: by ordering on youtube, you can only watch on the device with which you place the order. You have to have a youtube account or google account. After purchasing, you will get an email confirmation with a hotlink in the email to access the broadcast. Depending on what audio and video outputs your computer has, you can pipe the audio to a big audio system and the video to a larger screen. The webcast is in stereo, the video is HD 720p. Hope this helps.

"Name That Song" contest

Some of you may be interested in the 1st night results. Truckin' was correctly guessed by 5 people: TheeAmazingAce333, WhenInRome, Wadeocu, Strider88 and Mbarilla. The last two folks both sent in their entries right at 6:00. The first one to show up in my inbox was....(cue dramatic music, cut to commercial). OK, we're back. The first one to show up in my inbox was....(drumroll)...Strider88! Come on down! (Actually, just send me a PM with your address so I can ship your prize) Congrats! I'll use the same entries for tonight's opener. Good luck to all!

YouTube....

....one time only. Figured it out....oh well. Guess I could always buy it later. Probably not though....

First song breakdown

For those who may be curious, here's how the guesses went: 6 entries: Feel Like A Stranger, Promised Land, The Music Never Stopped 5 entries: Golden Road, Jack Straw, Truckin' 4 entries: Bertha, Hell In A Bucket 3 entries: Help On The Way, Here Comes Sunshine, Viola Lee Blues 2 entries: Playin' In The Band, Shakedown Street 1 entry: Box Of Rain, Cassidy, Caution, Cold Rain And Snow, Dancin' In The Streets, Estimated Prophet, Gimme Some Lovin', GM Little Schoolgirl, Half-Step, Iko Iko, Early Morning Rain, Let The Good Times Roll, Minglewood, Not Fade Away, Saturday Night, Passenger, Sugar Magnolia, Wheel, Uncle John's Band. And a special gold star to whoever mentioned "What's Become of the Baby" - never thought I'd hear that one played! Cheers!

Trey Can't Sing The Blues... 6/27

And Phil can't sing. The whole first set was a struggle. Interesting that the whole show was tunes from 1970 and prior. Will all the setlists be such segmented time slices? Will they repeat anything between cities? Phil's only strong vocals were on Whats become of the baby. Trey Can't Sing the Blues, but OH MAN he sure came through in the second set!! I streamed it, and enjoyed all the great camera work on Mickey. Bruce's vox and piano should have been louder, and Trey should only try singing when he feels sincere. so I had mixed feelings. I would have felt ripped off if I had trecked out there and sweated through that weak first set.

stream

This has probably already been mentioned here but if you buy the stream through MLB then you have 30 days to watch it. YouTube is only 24 hours. http://mlb.mlb.com/concert/dead50/

Santa clara

Consensus from this board not very positive. I saw one say " could have been worse". I thought it sounded real good and thought the band was solid. I was in atom with some other people so wasn't watching as close as others. Wished Phil would not sing solo and that Hornsby was more prominent but all in all ... It very much exceeded my expectations.

I SO WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE

I CANT STAND ALL THE NAY SAYERS ON HOW THE BAND PLAYED SOUNDED OR ANY THING NEGATIVE !!!! Phil's 70 something and Bob's younger but still a senior citizen thank the Good lord they even played live at all. Not a day goes by that I don't miss Jerry or my Father or both there both gone way , way too young so to all that negativity shut it ,cause I wish to God I could go And see the Boys Just one more time

I was at the show last night.

I was at the show last night. All I can say is wow! Sure during the first few songs we saw them having problems connect at times... But it just got better and better. I agree with the "Phil needs to sing less" comments but not with the comments that the jams were too long and aimless. You can look at a setlist or watch a webcast... But being there was incredible. Trey fit in very well and did so without just trying to mimic Jerry. His style was still very present... But he was playing the notes that jerry would have played. In the next four shows, these guys are going to get better and better and there will be many faces melted in the process...

Like a wave upon the sand

"Home in Missoula,Home in Truckee, Home in Opelousas, Ain't no home for me. Home in old Medora, Home in Wounded Knee, Home in Ogallala, Home I'll never be." Sal Paradise

Face Melting

I have no doubt that will be true. The so-called "consensus" isn't. I, for one, will be watching tonight. Seventeen minutes 'till showtime!

Whats up people!

Just checking in! watching tonights webcast! Looking forward to it! RIP Chris Squire...a great underrated bassist! He will be missed! Take care folks!

Cumberland blues

Did anyone else catch the frustration by bobby and phil for the song perhaps not starting on time, Watch for phil and bobs reaction, around 32:00-33:00 into the first set..maybe it's just me, but interesting nonetheless https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LTUA46DyiIk

Pleassssssssse!!!!

For the love of Christ!!! Let trey sing!!!!! Not even row jimmy??? Cmon

Fun but not inspiring

No condemnation here- just joining the dialogue. Just watched the first set video someone generously posted on youtube. The band was fun, and definitely more dynamic than the bulk of the Dead's shows post '90, but I wasn't inspired by it. It sounded more or less like every other post-Jerry incarnation of the Dead/Further/ whatever. Actually of all the incarnations I've heard, I thought that late Furthur with Kadlicek has been the best, and has risen a bit above the others. Still, although the guys are reasonably tight and musical, the music's lost the subtleties, grandeur, rawness, lyrical density, and unpredictability of the Dead in the 60's, 70s, and parts of the 80s. Also- again, I'm not 'hatin,' as they say- I've always felt Hornsby is too polished and polite for the Dead, though he helped to save their ass when Vince was around. Plus- with two drummers AND two keyboard players, the music's developed this crowded ensemble feel. Trey- he's fine, as guitarists go, but I'm surprised that people are so wowed by him- his playing here doesn't sound particularly distinctive or seem to advance the music. Just the first night, though- maybe a strengthening is in store. Am not saying that no new guitarist could bring some magic back to the band, but so far he hasn't been found for these shows.

Decided to bow out....

....on purchasing tonight's show. Sorry Phil, but you can't sing. One Hornsby lead last night? Really? Unfortunately, I think it's an ego thing with Lesh. Stick to the bass.....please. Bruce should sing most every Garcia tune, with some Anastasio sprinkled in....no brainer imo....

Sorry....meant to be a

Sorry....meant to be a private post.

Thanks 4ever8ful!
