    "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.

    Re: Ripple
    My DeadBase only goes to '92, but they only played Ripple 39 times total. And the only years they played it more than once were 1970 (6 times, all acoustic sets), 1971 (4 times, electric), and 1980 (27 times, all acoustic). It was also played once in 1981 (acoustic) and then once in 1988 (electric, 9/3/88, Cap Centre, MD). Once there were no acoustic sets (1970 or 1980), it was basically a done deal. Of the 39 versions (pre FTW), five have been released before. 3 from 1980 (one on Reckoning, another one on the Beyond Description re-release of Reckoning (2 CDs), and the one on video on Dead Ahead). The only electric version out there is the 4/29/71 from Ladies and Gentleman. And of course there is the FTW version. Still, 4/39 from Jerry-era. FWIW, I'd have made 9/3/88 my selection for the Box. '88 gets next to no love, but that was a great show. LTGTR, Stranger > Franklin's to open (no Stranger > Franklin's on any live release (the Dead Set one are from 2 different shows). Box of Rain to open the 2nd set, Dew to close it. Ripple the 2nd encore. The other good option for a Ripple (if you weren't going to release something that had been partially released before, 4/29/71), was to do an acoustic show from 1980, or, the legendary 9/20/70 Fillmore East show (I'd have gone that way). Yes, no acoustic sets ('70 or '80) was a big disappointment for me, and no Ripple is a big reason why). Thought 9/3/88 would be a real candidate. But I knew from the Dates there were no acoustic so it kind of softened the blow. I don't think they thought macro level, only micro (a good show for that year) and let the chips fall where they may. It worked well for the most part, but a tad more macro thinking would have been better.

    Feel sad for the USB folks
    You guys have a definite beef. FWIW, I once called BBB in a cell phone dispute and the next time I talked to them, they were much more receptive and saw things my way (they tried to charge me a full month's bill when I switched carriers mid-month, a clear no-no). So I wouldn't feel bad about using them. Good companies will take pride in resolving disputes. Having a dispute/complaint isn't a real problem for any company, that will happen. Not resolving them properly IS a problem. Don't feel like you narcing (sic) on the family by going to BBB, you aren't. As long as it gets resolved, as it should, it won't be a problem for Rhino. As for the Box, it might make you guys feel a tad better, I have the physical box but have only gotten half-way through. And here would be my recommendations for listening (not like I'm an expert or anything, just something I've found going through the first 15). 1) Go in chronological order. Though there is some song clustering that can get a bit tiresome when a song appears 3 years in a row or for 4 of 5, for the most part there are differences there (different songs into or out of, set placement, or differences in how it was played) that make it kind of neat to compare and show the progressions of the song, the sound, and the band. 2) Don't look at the lists until you've listened to it at least once. Makes you feel more present. Like having the anticipation of what comes next. Also, while I love Dave's little notes on each concert, I kind of like to listen to it myself and form my own opinions first, and then see how mine match up with his. Or the review article or set list notes if they are there. Sometimes I miss stuff. Which leads me to 3) Listen to them at least twice before moving on. Or, alternatively, listen to a couple in a row and then go back through them. You really start to get the flavor for each year better that way. At least I did. Subtle differences become more apparent. Anyway, for all the USB folks, I hope when this all gets sorted and your music gets to you'll be pretty satisfied from a musical perspective. I certainly am. A few nits can be picked, but all the shows so far are pretty strong in my book (though some years they could have picked some heavyweights and didn't, no acoustic sets). Still, I wouldn't consider the Cobo '76 show a legendary one, but it was certainly fantastic. Ditto the '78 I'm re-listening to now, it is really good. And the '77, while not Ithica or War Memorial good, is still very well played and has a cool set list. Hope you guys don't get too mad if I continue to post about the music in the thread.

    It looks personal to me. If it walks and talks like a duck... Slamming rhino, or CS, or dead.net or whatever, fine and dandy, and the USB folks certainly have the right AND a just cause to vent in the harshest terms and to their hearts content about this. But, venting at someone who has done nothing but posted opinions and posted them politely and respectfully AND is clearly sympathetic even to the harshest venters - to respond with STFU?? Well, unless the moderator deletes it you have the right to post whatever you want, but, imo, it's uncool, uncalled for, and looks EXACTLY like the posts you'd see on a news article about politics with posters calling each other libtards and repukes, etc., and it gives me the feeling the poster deserves about as much respect and consideration as i'd give those folks. JimInMd, i read your posts and there is nothing in any of them that ANY deadhead i've ever known would respond to with STFU. I hope what that guy wrote didn't bother you a bit, cause it shouldn't, except to feel some pity for him. I'm sure you know what i mean.

STFU is the word. Let people be negative and vent. It won't hurt anything. I wasn't going at him personal and told him as much. Any other advice or life lessons?

    Slight over reaction on your part. It really didn't sound like Jim was knocking you in any way. In fact he appeared to feel sympathetic towards your situation. All of us with the box certainly feel bad for the people (well, almost all of them) who purchased the USB. It's a crappy situation. People deserve answers. Telling others on this forum to STFU if we have an opinion or something to say about it is not cool.

    Can't speak for anyone else, but what I what would hope Rhino would do is give us an honest explanation, and an honest expectation of resolution. And then update as appropriate. Which they simply have not done (anyone who thinks two pieces of info in 75 days, neither of which turned out accurate is enough, well, you just have different definitions of what is reasonable than me). But I think it is the baseline minimum. Not as if I am actually ranting or asking for something outrageous.

That is why I don't think the BBB is going to be much help. If you ask for a refund you will get it. So what exactly are we asking them to do?

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...

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.
