    "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.)

I couldn't wait to hear some of the music, so I purchased the 4 disc set from Pono at 24bit/192khz, and it sounds great! I am so pumped for this set. I admit, I did listen to the stream all Saturday, but that was it. BUT - listening to the Dancing in the Streets from 1970 (on the 4 disc set), I keep hearing the same riff that Jerry played during the 10-31-71 (Dick's Pick Vol.2) Dark Star. This is my favorite Dark Star because of the direction it goes, and now that same kind of sequence in on Dancing in the Streets!!!! I am pumped for the rest of this set. Bring it on!!! Also, JimInMD - thanks for the JGB link. Who is the drummer? That's not Ronnie Tutt, is it?

Yea.. that's Ron Tutt. Keith is groovin' nice in that show too. Happy days. Speaking of Holy Crap Batman, a couple years ago in the middle of no-where Appalachia.. In a town of probably 100 or less, I passed the original 1960's bat mobile. Turns out there's a guy around here that owned (owns) the bat mobile + the General Lee. I pulled over and asked him a bunch of questions. He even fired up the flames out the back. ..unless of course I hallucinated the whole thing.

So, I am alone in a hotel room, and I thought time to put a toe in the water. Last time I saw the band was Ally Pally,1974, wall of sound, so I thought Dijon, where to start? Seastones...nice, then jump to Big River, great to hear Keith, but , wait, w.t.f, where the hell are the vocals? And Dave says the tapes of this show are so good...Somebody tell me whats going on...pretty please.

I would have been disappointed if there were no early 70s Cold Rain & Snows on here. I'm pleased with this one from 1970. It's just such a great song, and one of my favorite openers, alongside Bertha and Promised Land. I kind of lump New Minglewood Blues in there too, though I only have two from the early 70s; the one on Ladies & Gentlemen is so good, I wonder why they didn't play it more. Whenever I go into '71 / '72 mix mode, I'll usually go: Promised Land - Sunshine Daydream or E72 5/23/72 Cold Rain & Snow - 5/24/72 or 4/17/72 or Ladies & Gentlemen (with awesome intro segue from GDTRFB) New Minglewood Blues - Ladies & Gentlemen Bertha - Sunshine Daydream or several E72 versions Sometimes I'll mix up the order too, but keep to the alternating of Bobby / Jerry songs.

The Phil and Ned was quad through the Wall of Sound and 2 of the channels went through the vocal mics inputs in the recording mix.They fixed this about 4 minutes into Peggy-O, It happened a lot on the post Phil & Ned set SBDs this is why SBD recordings of Phil & Ned are only 2 of the 4 channels and why AUD versions sound so much different.

Final Europe show till 1981 and the Wall of Sound is rocking.. Seastones > Playing in the Band Seastones features Jerry in addition to Ned Lagin and Phil. Not the best by any means but fun to hear. Dave's Picks, so far has released 3 Wall of Sound shows !!! Here's to a 4th for 2016 Bring on 5.12.74 6.30.74 and 7.19.74 -- any one of those will do for a Dave's Picks in 2016 right ?

Dear Gary, no, I dont know Simon.I went with my old pal Keith, (hi Keith!) And Paul, a mean blue grass picker -he played a bit with Grisman-who recently died in Jerusalem. The first show, I went to all of them, was mainly notable because I managed to score the first Mad River album!And I had to be very careful that its pristine sleeve didnt get beer stains all over it! Kayak, many thanks for the information, much appreciated!

Now that 30 trips is "out", I did a bit of tallying. There have been 251 Grateful Dead shows with more than 50 minutes released officially (or are otherwise more or less complete, like 3/23/75). Don't ask me why I decided on 50 minutes as a cut-off, it just seemed like the right amount to capture most of the jamming in a particular show. The breakdown is as follows: 1960s: 26 shows 1966: 2 1967: 1 1968: 7 1969: 16 1970s: 150 shows 1970: 9 1971: 17 1972: 35 1973: 15 1974: 19 1975: 3 1976: 9 1977: 23 1978: 12 1979: 8 1980s: 39 shows 1980: 10 1981: 2 1982: 4 1983: 2 1984: 1 1985: 2 1986: 1 1987: 4 1988: 4 1989: 9 1990s: 36 shows 1990: 24 1991: 5 1992: 2 1993: 3 1994: 1 1995: 1 1972, 1990, and 1977 are the big winners, but we already knew that.

A fine bay area band. They made two albums (and one EP). If you're gonna check out their music, check out both albums because they are very different from each other. Also, the British label Shagrat released a 12" vinyl EP in 2011. Also worth checking out is Lawrence Hammond's solo stuff. Bluegrass in Europe? You would be surprised how big it is, particularly here in Holland, but also in the UK. Good music can find a home anywhere. I got loads of bluegrass in my music collection and I can assure you I ain't no hairy-ass hillbilly!

I thought I would peruse the show from 4/25/77, not really expecting to hear anything unique or fresh, considering the number of shows that have been released from the Spring '77 tour. I went immediately to Scarlet / Fire, and wow - I can hear Bob Weir so much better than any of the other '77 shows I have - very nice to hear his rocked out rhythm playing while Jerry solos away on Scarlet. Also some great stuff from Keith and Jerry in the last 2-3 minutes of Scarlet that Donna and Bobby pick up on, just a little melody before the transition, but definitely caught my attention. I hope the whole show's like this.

It's going to happen though. Sources have almost all but confirmed this.. And for those who like the 1966 stuff from 30'Trips ,, look out for 7.29.66 !! If this one has not been released already. The dates for 1966 material is sometimes a little scattered.. Still waiting for 30 Trips Box set to arrive and not streaming.. Downloads seem to be inevitable,, based on previous release trends. One Kind Favor - bring on the Release of 4.24.66 !!!

Does the entire '82 show have a noticeable hiss throughout? The single track on the 4CD release has it. I am going to guess this is something that cannot be cleaned up? thanks for any help.

> It's going to happen though. Sources have almost all but > confirmed this.. Oh man, oh man. That would be stellar. Even though we don't really know the date of 5/5/67's material, I'd hope they'd tack it on somewhere. There cannot be too much '67 / early '68 released, according to me. I'd also like to see a 3/17-18/67 set come out. We know there is at least some of those shows sitting in the vault. Speaking of those spring 67 shows ... did Bear tape them? And if so, does that mean that he maybe taped the Chuck Berry set, too? It would be awesome to have Garcia's "post Chuck Berry set" comment heard in the proper context.

Just sitting here on a Monday eve having one and digging on the 87 & 88 shows. Good stuff! Thats the thing, these streams sound great! Havent listened to a full show yet, enjoying trolling around. 88 show is good! Love Queen Jane. Some great versions on Spring 90. Once we get this it will be awesome! Going to be a great end of the year for us. This box, Daves 16, Daves sub renewal, 30 days of Dead, RSD release? I think FTW should have been put on hold for next year. Too much at once. O well, Happy 50th!!!

Mr. Jack Straw - that is so cool that you put this list in order, but I was wondering - when was the 3/23/75 show released? I would love to hear that. I have the first 'One from the vault' and now the new one from 30 trips.

Figured I would start my listening with some of the shows from lesser years, like 1986. Test the statement that each show would be enjoyable and not necessarily just enjoyable "in the context of that year". And as the I listen to a nice punchy Scarlet to open set 2, I have to agree that this 1986 show has been a good one so far.

Nice plan, Streicher. I thought the following review from setlsets.net dovetails nicely with your post. I just pulled it from the web, and did not write it nor attend the show. but it fits here: __________ Reviewer: wildcataggie - ★★★★ - February 9, 2010 Subject: Sweet Sounding Jerry Vocals!!! I am apprehensive (God, that sounds wimpy) about listening to shows from '83 through '86 because of the detrimental effect that Jerry's health had on his performance. I went to between 10 and 15 shows a year myself during this period, plus about a dozen JGB. We would never stop going and never stop loving being there, but it was obvious that Jerry was really struggling physically. It can be pretty painful listening to the raspy and thin vocals and though he never lost the ability to sparkle on the strings, the grace and eloquence were definitely at an ebb. Have no apprehensions about this beautiful recording of an excellent show!!! Right from the Cold Rain and Snow Jerry's vocals are clear, crisp and vibrant. I cannot think of another show from anywhere near this time on which he sounds so good vocally. Comes A Time is another highlight and just about everything else sounds sweet. With a board like this, I really focus on just how much these guys loved playing together and how well they listened to each other. This is a really collaborative performance, not off the charts but everybody gets a piece of the mix. The Scarlet/Fire is tight rather than epic but it has plenty of energy and creativity. Oh yeah - I'm listening to the whole thing over again - check out Jerry's backing vocals on The Race Is On - unbelievable!!!! Love the good ol' Grateful Dead - the sweet part of the dream is that we learned to sing "We will survive, we will survive" during those days and it came true for a lot of us. I'll have to check out the other shows on this run - any other suggestions? Jerry had lots of bright and happy days ahead of him. This show fills a tremendous personal niche for me, just like finding a Fall '94 show were he sparkles with all the joy and imagination we loved him for. Still haven't found that show for '95 but I'm always looking!! Thanks Charlie Miller - Time Magazine Man of the Year, long overdue!!! Never forget - Love will see you through

Mad River were a great band and the Hammond solo material is also very strong. Havnt heard the Shagrat stuff since I dont own a turntable.I dont have any bluegrass since I flogged all my vinyl, but back in the day I was plenty fond of it, Country Gazette, Clarence White and the Kentucky Colonels were my initiation at the LSE...in fact my pal Paul ended up being a leading light in the Israeli (!) Bluegrass scene, seems that not all broadbrimmed hats are at the wailing wall! But these days I am a jazz buff, with significant forays into Turkish Baglama, Fado and Flamenco. Grootjes

Thanks for that heads up. I actually have a list of places where that jam occurs that I got years ago in a forum. So glad one of them mad it to the box. If I can find the list maybe I will post. awesome jam and I remember that it occurs in some 70's Dancin' in the Streets. Awesome!

Thanks for that, that list is bigger than mine. I played that jam to many in my age group and just over because I felt I knew it, even the first time I heard it on Dicks picks but no one could identify the tune as a stand alone. Just love it! I will make my way through the list for sure.

I am pretty sure that the jam after Darkstar on Dicks Picks 2 is actually "Soulful Strut", a song performed by Young-Overholt Unlimited from 1968, written by Eugene Record and William Sanders. Sweet jam.

Listening freely to the streams now, even though I said I wouldn't. Still, not listening yet to very favorite years but enjoying all I'm hearing. Listening to '82 now after TotD's post tonight and it's damn good.I love the group effort in the later Maggie's Farms and noticed in the '92 show (listened last night) it sounds like Bruce sings, "His bedroom window is made out of sticks." Yeah, lyric flubs are common in GD history but this stands out a bit, especially since Bruce seemed to be one of the more sober band members (correct me if I'm wrong). Maybe he'd recently read the Three Little Pigs to his kids.

I bought it unopened on ebay, and the tray that holds the book was damaged (smashed in and torn where it says Spring 1990) when Rhino put the set together. Not the end of the world, the music still sounds great, but I'm now looking for a replacement of that piece. If anybody wants to sell just the box, please PM me. I don't even need the extras or the book..really just need the tray. Thanks.

Definitely the "worst" sound quality of the entire box set IMO. The hiss is there for sure (forget who asked about that). It is a superb show and the diminished quality does not take away from my enjoyment, but like 4-6-82, there is a real noticeable dropoff in the quality of the mix. Having said that I am blown away by the treatment given to 10-12-84, which I was admittedly salivating over. But it exceeded all expectations.
