    "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.)

    ROLLINGSTONE.COM SONG PREMIERE AND EXCLUSIVE DAVID LEMIEUX INTERVIEW
    Head on over to Rollingstone.com for the very first listen of "Morning Dew" 9/18/87 Madison Square Garden, David Fricke's exclusive interview with archivist David Lemieux, and the reveal of 30 TRIPS AROUND THE SUN's '69 and '84 shows.

    *Helpful hints for using your USB:

    Running the 30 Trips Player / Reader program:
    On Windows – Navigate to the USB drive and double click the PCStart.exe file to run.
    On MacOS – Open the GD 30 Trips drive, and double click the MacStart to run.

    Viewing the digital book:
    You can either view it within the program that comes on the drive, or by opening the PDF directly.

    To view the PDF, open the PDF folder on the drive and the USB_bk_spreads_08-31 file within. Selecting the option within your PDF reading application to view as a “single page” might be preferable to viewing as a continuous document.

    Importing music into iTunes and other library programs:
    When you import the songs from the USB into your library, the information used to identify the track will likely leave them sorted incorrectly. Please use the song list found here to re-number the songs for each show so that they playback in the correct order.

    "Downloading officially
    "Downloading officially released material for free from a torrent sight is stealing and a crime. Encouraging that activity openly is not wise and disrespectful to Dave, Mark and everybody in the organization." 1. Once the release is sold out and no longer available, there is absolutely no downside to the organization. They will have maxed out on their profits unless they release individual shows or press more boxes, which is of course likely. Torrent sites exist and the official releases have been on there for years, yet they still sell out quickly and often. Nevertheless, even if you want to stay on the right side of the torrent issue . . . 2. Mentioning the existence of torrents and how releases creep around after release by way of torrents is a statement of fact, just like saying there is child abuse, sexual assault and corruption going on in the world. It is not an endorsement or encouragement of the practice, just a statement. Also, torrents are tracked on sites not "sights." 3. Unless you have never partaken in an illegal drug, driven over the speed limit or broken any other law, kindly stay off the high road on "criminal" accusations. As any good televangelist or scandalized Republican Congressman can tell you, it is a far fall off the shoulder of that road particularly if you have been grandstanding on your soapbox. 4. I have bought every box set except E72. Have subscribed or purchased every Dick's Picks, vault release, Daves Picks and Road Trips. My respect and support for what Dave and the group does is about as high as it can possibly get and the mere mention of accessibility to other means to dantian does not minimize that.

    "Really silly and totally ridiculous asking price"
    The asking price is perfectly reasonable for the amount of music being provided. It is far from ridiculous. As it stands the financial hit on a credit card is one that is not realized until your statement for September 2015 charges which is likely not payable until mid October or possibly early November 2015. Which effectively gives people 4-5 months to drum up the money assuming you want to pay the total price off immediately on the next billing cycle and not incur interest. If incurring interest is not a problem it goes beyond that time frame. Either way, not dramatically different from your 6 month window proposal. I sympathize and feel for anyone who cannot afford this for whatever reason. But the asking price is reasonable and in complete harmony with every other Dave's Pick, vault Release and box set the past 5-6 years when you factor in cost per disc.

    Shipping these USPS or UPS is no sweat off their backs
    I would suspect any cost Rhino takes on for the shipping is no where near $200,000. And whatever the cost is for shipping, I think it's about $100,000 to push all these sets out. The fans buying them are most likely paying for it any way because I would think it's already hidden in the cost of the box set. The rates for shipping for GDM purchase are not so great to begin with. I would imagine the contract they signed has something to with that. And the simple fact is almost every company will jump at the chance to offer a free shipping or upgraded shipping as an appeasement. So the majority of folks who experienced processing errors placing a pre-order would have been offered free shipping due to the malfunctioning site. To have a debit card blocked for numerous days and to be offered free shipping on an item with free shipping is showing a complete lack of understanding for what is going on, thanks CS center at the management level. The free shipping is a nice gesture for pre-orders and I would guess that was offered instead of something that has collectible value. because a lot of folks down the road that miss out on any Bonus Disc from Dead.net will be knocking on GDM door for the elusive early pre-order collectible. But who remembers Free SGS and is gonna call about missing out on free shipping. I bring this up because at the top of FAQ is the topic of how can I get a bonus even though I didn't purchase while bonus were being given. And after the last Dave's shipment that folks were saying they ordered a la carte and got the bonus. Or ordered the subscription and didn't get the bonus. And we all know the bonus disc thing isn't true for all releases because Road Trips 77 is still passing out the bonus disc when shipped by dead.net. What's the deal with that ??

    For what its worth I placed 5
    For what its worth I placed 5 orders amid the chaos yesterday. The first 4 were hung up for hours and the 5th went through right away. I only got confirmation for that 5th one. I called customer service and they said I in fact only had that 1 order, so if you did place multiple orders you may or may not actually have multiple even if they preauthed every one like they did for me.

    True that. That job description made my dream job seem a complete nightmare! I can't see there being a second box set this year. Throwing out a second box after a $700 one just seems cruel! Now, two more reasonable boxes next year? I'm all in!

    If sold out late today no biggie!
    Firstly It should have been marketed 3 separate Vol spaced over 6 or 7 month period. 1965-1975, 1976-1985 And 1986-1995!Could have been more affordable for majority of dead Fans. I believe poorly planned later years I never really listen to anyway but could have afforded $260 for Each of 3 Vol overtime. Box Book separate. I'm a big record collector and have most all dead net/ rhino previous box sets . Sorry $750 can go a long way on new big screen tv, Summer weekend Vacation etc. Really silly and totally ridiculous asking price. That is unless you eat breath and live with the Dead 24-7!!! One last thing I saw posted on Facebook regarding this 50th. The kid posted quote " wow 80 cd's and that's just 3 songs"!! Lol. For those few who purchased and silly ltd quantities 6500, geez just enjoy! Wolfeman

    An aging hippie's two cents
    In 2005 without warning, the 10-cd Fillmore West 69 box was released for the equivalent of $100 in 2015. Not being able to afford it then, I missed out. I ended up 2 years ago fortunate enough to buy #00012 for $500 from a greater Dead family member on eBay who really needed the cash. Ten years later with 3 months notice this 80-cd box including a 288-page book and other goodies is being released for $700. I've been preparing for an offering of this size since the much derided 50th anniversary countdown began. And I have until October before having to pay for it. I empathize with those of you who can't afford this box. I know. I've been there. But after having lived through this long cosmic journey I really can't relate to all the vitriol being poured out on this thread from some others. I would have loved for Shrine 11/11/67 to also have been included in this box. But I've been waiting nigh on 48 years for it and other sixties shows which helped enrich my late teenage years, so what's a few more years of waiting in the grand scheme of things? And if I die before they're released I sincerely doubt that at that time it will be of much concern to me. Thanks Dave & Co. for all you do. What a long strange trip it is.

Hello all I've watched this discussion while figuring out how to post. I love it and the box; it looks so much better than the trunk(which I thought was cheaply made and sold on Ebay for a profit and the music only, and spring of 1990(mine came jacked up with no option of a new box) Spacebrother I really like your insight of the 80's I try to love it but it's not there yet. 68 to 79 from the releases is my priority. have a bucket list of the complete 69 filmore, and yes I skipped 90 too. I love the conversation here in general. thank you for all your conversations and opinions this forum is awesome.Other than Barton Hall I do not visit archives. hopefully I fit in. dave

I guess they had a few cancellations. There's going to be more available in the next month as folks whose credit cards don't process for any reason may either miss the call from Dead.net, or change their mind on purchasing it. You figure there will be at least a small percentage of those situations that will make some units available.

Sorry for the break in subject,,but. Someone a while back mentioned a 24 cd Duke Ellington collection (BTW - 200 bucks used, 600 new), the set sounded great. I found it available thru my world wide library lookup, at long last it got to my local library and I checked it out for $2.50. Sucked it all in. A very nice set, my thanks go out to whoever brought up the subject. This will be great Sunday morning breakfast music.

Tonight on Showtime the Jimi Hendrix: Electric Church rockumentary premieres, in fact it's on the air right now! I am not a subscriber and when I called the cable company this afternoon I was told I could sign up for the one time and then cancel later. I knew I was not going to get home from work in time tonight, so I opted out. I checked the program schedule and saw that it will air on various other dates in the month of September. I will probably sign up for the Sept. 10th @9:25 pm EDT airing, which is the day after our cc's should be charged for the Box. Something for us Heads to consider as we await Shipment Day!

Hello you kind folks. I, like the rest of you, have been eagerly awaiting for this box set. For myself, San Diego 73 and Lindley 75 are the shows i am most excited about. I am not sure if dead.net plans on making this shippment require a signature or not, so i changed the shipping address to my work address to assure someone will be there when it arrives. I plan on taking some time off work when it comes in to listen to it... am i completely crazy? I have been on a non stop around the clock Summer of 82 binge lately, so to change things up i think I will be listening to Dave Brubeck Quartet's Time Out tonight.

I'm Still looking for Dave's Picks 1 ?? lots for trade.. Anyone going to LOCKN on Thurs -Sun ? I'm pretty sure I will travel for the event.. Pretty much winging it like Chicago and that worked out well.. Late last night or early this AM Sirius had on 7.3.15 Soldier Field. It was cool to hear again for the first time since event.. Still same opinion,, nearly flawless event that weekend with almost perfect outcome. The music grade for me was High B Low A,, Mickey and Billy being my favorite and Drums Space were sweet.. With "Mountains of The Moon" and "Cassidy" as a couple other standouts.

If a copy of DAP 1 will do, I can help. Yes, me and a bunch of us are going to Lockn, leaving Wednesday. We fly into Raliegh and will drive to Lynchburg. My one buddy lives in Raliegh and my other buddy lives in a little town right next to Lynchburg. We went last year and it was great. Hope it will be as good this year since we're all taking our wives this year. It's a long 4 days. Great lineup again. Anyone looking for me there try 214-663-4309. I'll be up against the fence just behind VIP/Soundboard. And then we come home for "THE BOX"!

No bites. This discovery of "extra" box sets by the good folks at dead.net has really put a kink into my entrepreneurship. Speaking of which, I saw a couple of guys this week had sold 30 Trips for over $1100 for a new set. I have a feeling they're dolling out refunds now that sets are available here again. I do have some good deals for some "subsets" of the box listed.

Correction -NO Body Has a copy. That was my point. we just have reservations for a copy. From a company that apparently has service issues. I've never had a single issue with Rhino- they've been perfect for me. But I've read a lot about problems on this forum. I just think it would be nice if pushes for a sell-out, from Rhino or entrepreneurs, would come from after the damn thing ships.

ok whatever, I get it now - you're pissed at KeithFan because he said he's rooting for a sellout. actually I don't get it. why would you care if it sells out before it reaches your door, as long as you have a copy reserved. calling a guy low class because he put up some CDs for sale is itself low class - particularly when it's irrelevant to you. he's a pretty cool dude if you knew him. i needed DP 28 and he said he'd help me out, then realized his burner didn't work and actually mailed me his original copy and said mail it back when i'm done. and to boot, his ebay add actually directs people to dead.net to buy it for it less. you're the only low class i smell around here. well, and your counterpart wadeocu.

yes, good call. I'd be very happy with pretty much any release from 1979-82 for the next Dave's. Not keen on any boxes though, for a while. Not even AK 80 (and probably 70% of the calls you've seen for that have been from me, and 25% from deadegad, ha). If they released AK 80 now I think I'd cry - cause boxzilla, of course. BTW, though I'm obviously excited about most of the shows in 30Trips, the 79-85 chunk may be the biggest draw for me. To finally have officially releases shows from 84 - and even 86, very exciting. One caveat: I emailed Dave some days ago, asking if the shows would each have their own individual case (a la Spring90). No response - which is uncharacteristic. And it frankly worries me a tad. The silence on the inner workings of the Box, along with the delay on the USB, has me thinking something may be very wrong in Rhinoland.

For a small box: The Ark: 1969. The only reason these shows haven't been released is because there just so happens to be an even better run that was multi-track recorded 2 months earlier. The back-up choices would be Felt Forum '71 or Orpheum '76. A distant 4th would be 6/28, 6/30, and 7/1/85. Too bad about 2/24/74 being released as a DaP, as the 3 show run would have done well. I'd also like a complete 2/11-14/70 set, despite the presence of DP4 and Bear's. It's all in the Vault, and these shows are too historic to be chopped up the way they were. However, since the meat is already out there, (same goes for Winterland '74 and Fillmore East '71) I'd prefer the others come out first. For a huge one: The Complete Fall '73, although the releases of 10/19, 11/9-11, 11/14, 11/17, 11/21, 11/30, 12/2, 12/10, and 12/19 make me feel less certain about this one. If not the Fall, I'm perfectly happy getting Summer '73, which has to be the most underrepresented era of Dead music when one takes the quality into account. I'm not sure much else warrants a more than 6 show set; most of the heavy hitters from Summer '74 have been released, and the Vault presence of Fall '72 shows is spotty.

My first show was 9/6/79 at MSG. Caught the Spectrum shows in Nov '79 as well. Love that era. As for a new box, I'd say: Red Rocks '78 Boston '76 Spring '82 All of Fillmore '71 Just my dreams here. :)

I have a Major important question about the USB Will the 2nd sets of these shows run uninterrupted ? CDs fade out at end of disk two Fading back into disk three..... l hate that, can't sit back and chill to a second set that way! The reason I bought the USB is so there would be no breaks in the middle of the sets like the CDs will obviously be. This is probably a major issue for all people buying the USB (Even though there is only 1,000 of us) We don't get the booklet or the fancy box But that's not a problem, if they run uninterrupted I did not want the CDs for that reason (and storage too) as well as wanting 24/96 resolution (sweet) Has this question been brought up by anyone? and I hope you guys were smart enough to master the USB as uninterrupted shows, unlike the CDs (more work for you guys but you are charging enough for this package now dubbed "BOXILLA") I truly will be disappointed if there is breaks in the middle of a set This issue will be a major problem....I'll want my money back if they are these interruptions, so....... Look forward to a response P.S. I've sent numerous emails to this site and I still can't get a straight response Bad business gang! Thomas A. Violagis Jr.

I'd LOVE to see a box of spring '82, 4-19 is one of my favorites, and 4-12 is very underrated IMO. As for the 30 Trips USB, I'm pretty confident the sets will run uninterrupted. I also ordered the USB version. If, for some reason, there are fades, there are ways to rejoin the halves with editing software. I'd be happy to help if this turns out to be the case.

I know the Download Series and the downloaded version of the Road Trips series has the fades that you get with the CDs. I think they actually feel this is preferable for customers (and to be honest, I prefer it), because it allows you to burn the music to CD and fade out like a regular CD.

Does anyone know if there are multi-track masters in the vault from the 70s that have not been released, other than these runs, which produced Three From The Vault, Ladies & Gentlemen, and Movie Soundtrack: * Port Chester February 18-24 1971 * Fillmore East April 25-29 1971 * Winterland October 16-20 1974 I would be thrilled to have a multi-track box set from 1973, if the masters exist. Also, does anyone know if anything from 1977 was recorded on the multi-track? I'm pretty sure everything that's been released has been two-track (albeit, great sounding two-track). I believe this is the complete list of multi-track releases, but am I missing any? * Live Dead * Skull and Roses * Fillmore West Complete * One, Two, and Three From the Vault * Europe '72 Complete * Sunshine Daydream * Grateful Dead Movie Soundtrack * Steal Your Face * Live at the Cow Palace: New Years Eve 1976 * Rocking The Cradle: Egypt '78 * The Closing of Winterland Live at the Fillmore East 1969? I forget on that one...

That would be a huge pain in the assThe right thing is for them to run uninterrupted But I can't get a straight answer Which blows

Thanks for the shout out for the MSG show, 36 years ago today. I was there also and I was the first to mention the awesome sound Steve Parish's motorcycle added to the drums. We could hear it, or we sure thought we did, but could not see it until we were on our way out and walked behind the stage and actually saw it. You know how it is. When you are under the influence you sometimes think you hear something that really is not there, but that was not the case this time. Just too much! I would love to see a minibox of those '79 MSG shows. Rock on

is controlled within iTunes. When just listening to it, and when burning it to cd. You can control it.

That would be a great box if I don't say so myself. . .. For the umpteenth time. Yeah hbob the roar of that motorcycle during drums>space is awesome stuff! Thanks for reminding me, us. These are Brent's First MSG-NYC shows and the band: They Came, They Saw, They Conquered! So they were historic and this Box fits with demands for Brent and 80s(almost). Likewise it is small enough which keeps it affordable. Dave . . .. Think about it. And let me plug Claney's companion to MSG Sept 1979 box: Alaska 1980! There a lot of worthy contenders here.
