"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.)

"You were sold digital information as well, your's just came in 83 parts, imprinted on an aluminum discs with an easily damaged exteriors which threaten to make the discs useless without extreme care. While the discs can be backed up or transferred to digital formats easier to archive, the task comes with some considerable effort." Honestly, I think you have it a bit backwards...it takes considerable effort to damage a CD, but ripping CDs to HDD is quite easy. But that's just been my experience...over the past several decades...so what do I know.

They actually took the time send a PDF to number the bolt tracks in proper order, the San Diego tracks remain out of order.

The "CD's wear out and lose the encoding" theory....

....I still have the Sgt. Peppers and Dark Side of the Moon original 1987 releases, and they play fine. I would like to solve the puzzle Pat....Conspiracy theory.... ....1987. Was it really that long ago?

Boxtos & Boltos

A: Take the Bolt, rearrange it in proper order. Label multiple tracks of the same title in one show 1,2,3...(Songs that reappear in the same show) My software asked to ovewrite or skip file, no choice to add again. Copy files to two Hard Drives (very inexpensive these days). Burn 96/24 Hi-Res files to DVD Audio or Blu-Ray Disks Presto, USB to Disc! Go ahead and convert to 16 bit WAV and burn some CDs as well. You know, for when no DVD Audio player is available B: Take each 80 disks rip to Hard drives do the same as above, then instead of burning back to disk copy to inexpensive USBs Now we all have both USB Lightning Bolt is a recording cloning the master. To my ears, a better bass response , greater dynamic range, a higher quality recording. Please my opinion only no need to go back and forth if anyone feels there is no difference between 96/24 and 44.1/16

USB vs CDs

I would have gone USB for $200, but for the same price tag as the physical CDs, Lovejerry is %100 on target - I have 2 flash drives that no longer function for who knows what reason (never dropped or put through dishwasher). I would have risked $200 on the 30 Trips USB if it would save $500 vs the physical CDs. But I also have a couple thousand CDs, many that are 30+ years old, and zero that skip, so it's a no-brainer really. Either product requires a baseline of minimal care; I took no worse care of my dead flash drives than my CDs, yet the fact remains, I have a couple of dead ones. This personal case study is all I need to convince me that CDs last longer, but Lovejerry's "anecdotal" presentation gives it that much more merit, as clearly there are others who have had problems with USB / flash en masse. No need to wait for the longitudinal studies on this one. Another good point was brought up - where can we go 3 years down the road if there is a problem with the USB drive? Along with hhob's comment about the box being a thing of beauty, and the peripherals mentioned by Lovejerry (love the CD holder idea) - that's the appeal of the 30 Trips Box CD vs the 30 Trips USB Flash nab. Not to mention the dick sucking midget in the side compartment. Dammit I've gone too far again....

Dr Rhino customer service

When going through my discs I found 2 CDs that don't play correctly. They cut in and out and also don't rip correctly. I saw people on this discussion e-mailing drrhino@rhino.com so I sent that email a message describing the situation. This was Monday of last week so it's been just over a week and I have yet to receive a response. I'll give it some more time as I'm sure they're busy with USBs going on and the holidays but is there another route I should take? I've not had problems with Dead.net before and not sure if calling customer service is a better option. Any advice? Also, it seems like I'm not the only one who has had problems with CDs. Over the years I've purchased literally thousands of CDs. I have never come across a bad one and now I have 2 in one set? With others having problems too I'm left to wonder what they're doing or not doing with this set that is causing so many problems.

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...)
