"When we began discussing audio projects to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Grateful Dead back in 2012, we knew we wanted to do something completely unprecedented. We could think of nothing more exciting or ambitious than a career-spanning overview of the band's live legacy focused on what best tells the story: complete concerts. Our first criterion was the very best live music to represent any given year in the band’s history. We wanted to make sure that there were not only the tent-pole shows that fans have been demanding for decades but also ones that are slightly more under the radar, but equally excellent. For those who listen to the entire box straight through, chronologically, the narrative of the Grateful Dead's live legacy will be seen as second to none in the pantheon of music history." - David Lemieux

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.)

Re: Mustin ..the rounder we get

To get back full circle to where we started.. Mustin, I don't hear those Ventura shows get mentioned too often, but they are sleeper shows. Great listen, good job and thanks for bringing up some good shows. Would love to hear more comments about the Dancin' in the Streets arrangements. When this came up last no one (including me) noticed that they switched back to the old arrangement in the mid-80's. I guess its Pig vs. Keith vs. Brent now (oops, how do you edit these posts, what did I do?). One Edit: These shows would benefit by Matrix treatment ala DaP8. Just sayin'. Second Edit: Jerry's vocals decline a bit by the end of the show. Too bad, still some good moments in this show.

Day Job

Never minded it much, never loved it either. Then again, that was sort of an overarching point on encores the last 10 years anyway. But the moment you left early just assuming a Johnny B Goode was coming, BOOM came a Ripple or a Gloria or Faction out of the blue.

@dantian and received wisdom

Talk up a show from June 76 all you want, good sir. Until recently (thanks Road Trips 4.5!), this month was the victim of the received wisdom that said it was a month of poor, sluggish playing. "They were still getting used to the return of Mickey, blah blah blah." That argument made no sense (it doesn't explain why they kicked so much ass in '75 for example). But I recall seeing that a lot, including in books about the band - the idea that the Dead slowly built to greatness throughout the year. Poppycock!!! Summer '76 Dead is among the top tours in their entire history (Boston, Beacon, Orpheum). Up there with Spring 77. Just a bit below the Falls (71; 72; 73). EDIT: Listening to 6/14 again (it's been awhile, thanks for the nudge). To quote Dennis' erstwhile tour buddy: "That was a great Mama Tried!"

Jim, re: disco Dancin'

Don't know if this one counts as "disco," maybe disco-ish, but the Dancin' on 6/14/76 is my all time favorite. For a song I often hit the skip button on, this one demands I listen all the way through. They're just so deep in the groove... Of course, a large part of it is that it comes in the middle of an amazing sequence that one simply can't break apart, starting with the best Crazy Fingers you've ever heard (shades of Spanish Jam lie within), and ending with a sublime Cosmic Charlie, but even so, this Dancin' would be great even of its own accord. And then comes the Help > Slip > Franklin's right after. This Slipknot! is not to be missed; more mellow than most, searching and introspective like few others, it covers some interesting ground and goes the distance. I know I've talked up this show before, but I really think it is a great one, and definitely one of the best of '76.

More on Day Job and Respect

Yes we all used to bust chops about Day Job,,, but I did see a good one. To me that was a great thing about the dead,,, if you went enough you eventually caught a great version of every song. Who hasn't looked at a buddy and said, god damn that was a great fucking Mama Tried! Truly every show had SOMETHING great, maybe the whole show was only ok, but you knew there would be something. 2 regretful songs.... I ALWAYS wanted to see a killer Ghost Riders in the Sky, I knew they could pull it off. Bobby wailin' yippie I Ohh, Yippie I aye, ghost riders in the sky. Lights go down Bobbby stepping back, screaming out of incredible jam with 40,000 head belting out ... Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soak with sweat..... and ending with the whole house yippie I ohh....... And then Bobby says , we'll be right back! That would have been fucking great. (like when I saw my first werewolf of London, on Halloween, in Columbia, SC. The other song I would have loved (and felt Jerry missed his chance),,, he should have done "On Broadway" when he played on Broadway. Jerry coming out of a incredible jam and hitting it right on the mark...."But they're wrong, I know they are. Cause I can play this here guitar. And I won't quit till I'm a star on Broadway"

Re:Jim

Well put jim, Snafu, think you pretty much nailed it...it clashed with the culture, and was ultimately removed by popular request, pretty catchy tune though, lol, and fun to play on guitar, at least for me.

Re: snafu

I believe that to be true. Day Job got no respect. Don't think less of me, but it really wasn't that bad at tune, the songs meaning just clashed w/ the culture. ..also they ended quite a few killer shows w/ a day job encore. Our inner circle inside joke was, oh, last night was killer, can't believe you missed this one, should have made the drive (keep in mind this was before the internet and cell phones).. They played Dark Star>St. Stephen>Unbroken Chain>Golden Road>Alligator>Morning Dew>Alligator>Cream Puff War>Dark Star>Death Don't have no Mercy: Day Job encore. Ok. It wasn't that great a tune either, but I always root for the underdog.

1982!

I think this one is a sleeper for the best show in the box. A dream set list for me: 1982 - 7/31, Manor Downs, Austin, TX -Promised Land is rocking, Jerry does a killer Bird Song, he flubs the first chorus in Brown Eyed Women but I still love it, a funky Scarlet>Fire and Morning Dew is epic. One hell of a 3 hour show! =Set One= 01. Tuning 02. Alabama Getaway -> 03. Promised Land 04. Candyman 05. Tuning 06. El Paso 07. Bird Song -> 08. Little Red Rooster 09. Ramble on Rose 10. It's All Over Now 11. Brown Eyed Women -> 12. Music Never Stopped 13. Deal =Set Two= 14. Scarlet Begonias -> 15. Fire on the Mountain -> 16. Estimated Prophet -> 17. Eyes of the World -> Jam -> 18. Drums -> 19. Space -> 20. Uncle John's Band -> 21. Truckin' -> 22. Morning Dew -> 23. One More Saturday Night =Encore= 24. Don't Ease Me In

1982

I agree with you 420bandito. This is an epic show and a frequent listen to my audience tape for the past 32 years (man has it been that long?!) always brings a smile to my face. This is the eve or Jerry's Birthday and the crowd is so psyched and yelling "Happy Birthday" from UJB on. The Second Set is just so hot!

there is a soundboard

there is a soundboard available for this show. It is quite epic.

December

12/26/81

Boxilla

Waiting to see the visuals on this...

7/31/82

hey bandito420,have you seen show on youtube?jerry was hotter than the texas wind that nite.been watching this show before being announced in box set. gonna be nice to have quality audio out-

Listening Party!...........................?

Am I crazy or did we skip Party #5....?? Any update is better than no update :)

Listening party #5

Magnaball Ate It!YUM! MORE PLEASE!!

Cal Expo '86....

....may be the first selection I pick. May not see another '86 release in my lifetime so there you go. The Comes A Time listening party track reinforces my belief. Haven't heard the Copps '92 show, but I would have picked any of the Vegas shows in it's place.....I may be biased in that choice though....

Countdown

26 days until The Box that ROX ships!!!!!

Daves picks question

Can someone please explain to me why some of the daves picks albums appear un-numbered?

Nothin left to do but smile smile smile..

.. at the thought of boxilla being delivered soon :) yeah yeah yeah

perhaps of some interest...

...is how they will have dealt with 'severe dropout problems' from the PCM masters on (at least) the '85 show. I thought the 10-21-83 show was also derived from a beta PCM master, but I'm not sure on that. I guess we'll see. After so many fantastic releases, I am faithful they will have done a fine job patching this one up. Also, I have not been partaking in the listening parties so I do not know what if anything from Riverbend, Augusta or Worcester they have sampled thus far. I want to listen with virgin ears. Primary source info. here:http://www.dead.net/features/tapers-section/june-18-june-24-2007

Another nice one from summer 1982.

This just shuffled on and reminded how good this show is, i remember getting the tape in the 80's and liking the show, but this SBD from Mr Miller is sweet. https://archive.org/details/gd82-08-10.sbd.miller.12453.sbeok.shnf

Doing that Rag

~ buzzed right nów, it's been a goood Saturday Night! 81-85 to me is epic GD, there is something special there for me. I dunno but Jerry's guitar makes some trippy listening :) I am so looking forward to the unvailing of the mega box! Enjoy the ride folks Peace

...and another from summer '82

Check out 8/6/82 St Paul. Listen to Space about 2 minutes before Truckin starts -- there's a jam based on both The Other One and THE ELEVEN! The Other One played over 11 beats! Very cool!

Proto 30 Trips

For those of you who own both 'The Golden Road' & 'Beyond Description' box sets, you can make up a 'Proto 30 Trips' by adding ALL of the bonus material from each of the releases, even the live albums ( 'Live Dead', 'Skull & Roses', 'Reckoning' & 'Dead Set'. I left off 'Europe 72 since it's already well represented) onto 1 playlist and arranging everything chronologically. It makes for a great overview of the band as well as "UPPING" the psyche factor for the Mother Box.

Updates on 30 Trips Around The Sun Box set?

I was given the impression that there would be "follow ups" to the original video that Dave did posted describing this box. Any idea where it is posted???Mr. Pete------> aging hippie

Countdown

25 days until ALPHA BOX!!!!

Sugaree

I love the early 80s. The folk songs were especially sweet then, such as Jack-a-roe and Peggy-o. Best period for these. 7/18/76 is my favorite unreleased show ever. The second set is so hot, it's one of those moments that's simply better than anything imaginable, except maybe that one Dark Star...you know the one ;)

Correct me if I'm wrong......

Please, please, someone please, correct me...... is there not a single Box Of Rain on this release?

Just one

There's just one -- the encore from 7/9/95 that's included as a single.

Box of Rain - delayed shipment?

Box of Rain is on the single - good news for those of us who are vinyl heads - not such good news for those without a deck. Sadly there is however on CD the following tracks - Dough Knees, Day Job and Way to Go Home - I also have a horrible feeling there's a samba in the rain there too...still at least we don't have to suffer a Wave to the Wind (unless that's on the bonus disc lol). As for the Box video reveal - we've seen and heard nothing....makes me think that there'll be a delayed shipping email soon - if it's not already in post-production and ready for a reveal by now - it will be delayed.... Maybe they'll delay and throw in the crappy FTW box as a 'bonus' - in which case I'll take Wave to the Wind instead lol....

countdown

24 days until KING box ships!!!!!!!

Deadbase 50 arrived....

....almost pulled a muscle picking the package up off the front porch. This is gonna suck up a LOT of my free time for a while. Good thing I just got a new pair of no line bifocals last month!!....

Countdown

23 days until GARGANTUA ships!!!!!

wissdh...

...keep the thesaurus readily available, as yours is the first countdown that's inspired an electric current of Christmasy anticipation since the first week of January when I stood at the site's darkened windows wondering whether anyone was still home! Though, all is shortly to be forgiven... Incidentally, I dreamed of 30 Tripz last week; well, rather a nightmare - the kind you have/had incident to nervous anticipation of exam week at university. I'd received the box - a cheaply constructed affair with a glossy veneer peeled in many places to reveal pabulum brown cardboard beneath - and immediately noticed shows missing as well as caramel - yes, caramel - on the 7 inch single that I removed from a plastic sheath and carried out into a grey rainfall thinking to clean it off, at which time I awoke in a cold sweat. True story (except for a bit of hyperbolic cliche with the "cold sweat" business). I wasn't wed to the necessity of a video unveiling, but sound slumber may dictate I join the growing chorus of petitioners.../peace, K

Pictures of the Box

https://www.relix.com/articles/detail/grateful_deads_30_trips Very nice!

pics

thanks for the link Fennario....very cool

Toy Chest?

The box will certainly be reusable as a nice chest if anyone is so inclined!

Philadelphia Inquirer

Today on page A7, a full page advertisement announcing that "DEAD & COMPANY are going to be performing at The Wells Fargo Center here in Philly, my question is this; is it an American Express ad or a DEAD & COMPANY ad, doesn't matter as I WILL BE GOING!!! Maybe they'll recreate 9/21/72 in it's entirety WOULDN'T THAT BE SOMETHING!!!!! It's a beautiful ad by the way as it is quite poster worthy. AMEX Presale 8/26 @10am TO 8/27 @ 10pm Public on sale Friday, August 28 at 10AM HAPPY TUESDAY DEADLAND!!!!!!!!!

Pics / creampuff

Thank you for the link! I was hoping for a peak inside the box, but the exterior shots are awesome. Boxzilla looks better than I imagined. I'm listening to creampuff as I type this on headphones. The mix is interesting. Jerry's vocals are 100% on the left speaker only and pig's organ are 90% on the right speaker. Jerry's guitar is also much heavier on the right. Not my favorite dead mix, but it really shows how focused on psychedelica they were at this time. I can't wait for this box!!!

Dead & Co doing 7 or 8 cities - hope they come to Boston

I saw my nephew who's now in LA and he had heard from very good sources that they're doing 7 or 8 cities. I asked if they were doing Boston, he did not know. Here's hoping they play there!!! Wow nice pictures of the boxset - hopefully that's real wood and not veneer (or paper) on cardboard. Now I want to see the unveiling - only 200 copies left (according to the main page).

Sneak peak...

How come that wasn't shown here first before we see it somewhere else? yes, that box looks awesome! I just hope if it comes and I'm not home nobody steals it!!!! My big paranoia. Great listening party! Keep em coming! Certainly looking forward to this box set!

Boxzilla?

After seeing this I'm not sure if the name "Boxzilla" still fits... Boxzilla sounds so big and fierce. Sure it's big, but maybe a little more dainty than fierce. "Boxarella," or "Big Box Mama?" Don't get me wrong... I really like the art. I think it captures the free-spirit celebration that is the Grateful Dead show. Only seeing three sides (2 sides and top), I'm imagining that the four sides are each a season to represent winter, spring, summer and fall tours (fall and summer shown here). Again, really want to see the inside and how the CDs are cased.

Sneak peak...

That looks so nice. Now it would be nice to see some scroll photos, maybe a glance at how the CDs are housed. Are they Digipacks or in sleeves? Just a single show out of the box on a table.

30 trips pic

I think it looks great, I thought it was going to be some shabby box judging from the picture here. A black box with that who care image. But I like the look of the toy chest,, it will look on the shelf next to the other box sets! :-) You spend a chunk for these box sets, I want them to look good.

WOW!!!!

Not to ruffle any feathers but this box looks BETTER than the trunk E72 was housed in.As for a name I like GARGANTUA it fits as the box alone is GARGANTUAN, & I too would like to see just how the shows are packaged. Just think if TPTB show us exactly what GARGANTUA contains it SELLS OUT, if I didn't already preorder I believe I would just based on the box itself, if the box looks that good you know the contents look GREAT. PLEAE PLEASE PLEASE let's see the contents!!!!

can't wait

Got my deadbase50 today. I know have so much info to enjoy. Hard to believe that set lists could make me so excited. I got to see the box today and can't wait until I have it show up at my house. I have misses out on the last few box sets and so grateful that I am getting this one.

just exactly perfect!...

this new big box is revealed as a true work of art, and obvious fine companion to the europe '72 trunk - they both are just exactly perfect!...

The look

The artwork looks cool so far, from what we've seen. Though the names of the band members written on the bottom is not only unnecessary, it detracts from the aesthetic presentation of the box. In my opinion, a poor artistic choice. Then again, maybe we don't know the names of the band members, and we can look at the box to be reminded. As it turns out, the decision to include those names is courtesy of the Road Trips Packaging Commitee and the United Boxcutters of America.

RT packaging v. box cutters

I may be in favor of the RT packaging (am I one of the few?), but I am definitely against box cutter samurais! Be more careful with the blades people!P.S. Box concept looks nice! Names to include Bruce, Tom, Vince, Brent, Donna Jean, Keith? Is there room?

Art cont'd

Was just thinking how much prettier the Mona Lisa would look if the words Mona Lisa were drawn in big letters across the bottom of the painting. This is the effect the names written on the bottom of this box has to me. A beautiful picture- a gorgeous box, and then these huge distracting words at the bottom. Anyways, just my two cents. Probably should have kept the criticism to myself.

.

Packing it

I REALLY REALLY hope this gets packed with grate care.......this will be coming to Australia soon and will take pride of place in my study with all my other Dead, ABB etc. box sets.... PLEASE Rhino pack this with care.....it has so many roads to travel............ Now WHAT's inside......what's the goodies...... PS I have for sale the DELETED and RARE complete 2013 numbered Allman Brothers Band live tour box set - retailed at 699$US - I'm selling for $799US plus shipping from Oz to USA - a one-time offer as I've seen this set go on ebay for over $1000US.... Also Dead May 1977 box for sale for $350US - shipping included

The BOX!!

Since the box itself appears to be high, it might house 2 levels - 15 shows each level - if you take 15 DaP's and group them together and then double that area you can get the idea. It still leaves room for the book and any extras. Hopefully it'll be DaP cases vs. those sh*tty Road Trips digipacks.

I fell asleep last night....

....reading DeadBase 50. Woke up a couple of hours later with it resting on my chest. No wonder it was hard to breathe. Thought I cracked my sternum! Love, love, love this tome. I found out a few minutes ago that David Crosby sat in on the second half of the second set during the 9.10.72 Hollywood Palladium show. Jumped right to it on relisten.net and am checking it out now. Who knew? I sure as hell didn't....priceless....

Dave's not here!....

....hey Dave, I posted a similar 30 Trips box interior set up on the Nashville board a few minutes ago. I, however, think it will be only one level of discs as opposed to stacked. Is the box high? Or those of us buying it?.... ....double post. Sorry. I haven't done That in a while....

Dave's not here!....

....hey Dave, I posted my thoughts on the 30 Trips box interior set up on the Nashville board a few minutes ago. I, however, think it will be only one level of discs as opposed to stacked. Is the box high? Or those of us buying it?....

extras

Box looks great - and the shows speak for themselves - but got a feeling we'll be a little let down on 'extras' - I think it's the book and scroll - that's it..... Not that I need the secret compartment and hidden coin (Other one TOO) or backstage pass replicas.....I'd want real extras (a photobook like the McCartney remasters), bonus discs, downloadable content card, a visual counterpart (i.e. dvd of last ever show), something more I'd actually use....however it will be what it will be...was disappointed as hell with lack of extras on Europe box but the music made up for it - I'm sure that will be the case here (exclusing Dough Knees, Day Job, Samba in the Rain etc...)
