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.)

S90 TOO

Other possible contributing factors to the slower sales of S90 TOO: Individual sale of the Branford show - I expect many were happy to just get that one. Especially because of... ...the perception that the "best" shows were picked for the first box, and that (except for the Branford show) the second box was "leftovers." Myself, I'm glad I got the TOO box, and as Spacebro says, it is hard to beat the sound of it. You feel it in your bones. Keithfan, I know what you mean about Winterland 73. I've probably gone for the Dark Star most of all, but you've inspired me to give the whole thing a listen.

@ muleskinner_blues

That is a great story, I'm glad Richardson included it in the book. I read that segment of the book at night as I was laying in bed, slowly falling to sleep. Not long after I read that passage, I put the book down and went to sleep. I had a nice dream about that story and I imagined that I had eyewitnessed this transaction and shook both Jerry's & Parish's hands and said something like, "hurry up, we gotta get to sound check!" I also spoke to the passenger saying something like "I love you, Sunflower!" Sunflower was a super cute hippie chick, who just smiled back at me and blew me a kiss. I quickly escorted Jerry & Parish back to the hotel to give the iguana to Candice Brightman who was in the hotel lobby. I then said to Parish, "make sure Jerry sings Morning Dew" and Jerry looks at me and says, only was the last song in the 2nd set." Then I woke up the next morning.

From the book No Simple Highway, Peter Richardson

"At other times, weirdness was thrust upon him. Once when Parish and Garcia were strolling the sidewalks of New York City, a car screeched to a stop near them. A passenger emerged, handed Garcia a shoebox, and said, "Take care of this, man. Please, whatever you do, don't lose it" After he departed, Garcia read the note attached to the shoebox: "This is the lizard god, Chonga-Bonga. Don't let him die." When Garcia opened the shoebox, he found an iguana resting on a bed of grass. "Let's go," Garcia told Parish. "We have our orders." The iguana was part of the entourage for weeks until Cutler accidentally scalded it in a bathtub." :D

Mixes

I like Spring 1990 vol. 1 a lot. I has a great concert feel to it. Spring TOO is also great, in absolutist terms the audio quality is superior, with a much different conceptualization by the engineer that did the mix. To me, Spring TOO almost sounds like a live in the studio recording. Two different approaches, two great results. I listened to the download versions, don't know about the CD mastering or the effects of the differing sample rates etc. I have read that Plangent processing was used mastering 30 Trips to eliminate distortion caused by wow & flutter (analog sources) and jitter (digital sources). Between that and any equalization used by the mastering engineers, I'm sure all shows will sound fabulous.

Spring '90 TOO

We are all agreed that this box sounds phenomenal. I think there are a few reasons that it has not sold out yet: 1 - Downloads were made available immediately - I think they should have sold all of the boxes first 2 - Some folks did not want another '90 box so close to the first release I myself love the sound of both boxes. I think they catch the band at a really good time. If you are looking for individual shows they are available on ebay. Rock on

Mixes

SPACE BROTHER, I agree about e72 - I was never sure why it received so much criticism - I think they are almost uniformly excellent sounding but still short of Spring 90 TOO which is amazing. Will agree to disagree re Warlocks - wish it was only the drums but you are right the comparison with how Feel like sounds on Without a net is revelatory but then the direct comparisons between Without a Net and Spring 90 TOO even more revealing of the work they put into Spring 90 TOO - I really don't understand why that never sold out

Mixes

I think the 2-track DAT mix of the first Spring '90 box is fine. I also believe that if nobody knew it was a 2-track mix, many people wouldn't know the difference. To my ears, the second S'90 box is the best sounding release they've put out. The necessary time and care to dial it in is evident. Regarding the Warlocks box, the only element that sounds off to me is the overhead drum mics were mixed too hot and the high hat cymbal mics too low. At points, at least one of the drummers ride cymbals are very prominent. Compare the mix of "Feel Like a Stranger" from Without a Net versus the Warlocks box. I think the E'72 box mixes are fine, though some shows sound fuller and more balanced than others.

crimson white and indigo

KeithFan2112 I think the mix on the DVD of Crimson, White & Indigo is fine but the CD mix sounds very congested and compressed on my hi-fi, a little like Warlocks but not as bad... most of the rest of the Dead HDCD releases sound varying degrees of greatness (as they should do since i built the hi-fi system around playing them)

DaP 15 Great Sounding 2-Track

I was really impressed with the most recent Dave's Picks sound quality. I think DaP 15 may be the best sounding Dave's Picks release (all of which are two-track masters). There is some distortion for a minute or two in Bertha, but beyond that, it's very smooth and dynamic (and mixed well at the board - Keith isn't too high in the mix like I hate to admit he is in DaP 12). lgreen - what is it that you don't like about the Crimson White & Indigo mix? Just curious. wjonjd - nice supplementary info on the sound quality discussion, some stuff in there I didn't know. claney - those are some glorious sounding two-tracks, you've just inspired me to put Winterland '73 on (uggggh, which show to choose, they're all so good...maybe we'll go with show #1 because of Here Comes Sunshine and Race Is On, or show #2 because of the Playing/UJB/Morning Dew sandwich, or should I go #3 for the Loose Lucy and Dark Star....)

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....

....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...)
