    "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.)

    TOO Box vs. 30 Year Box
    Let's not forget that there will only be 1,000 downloads sold for the 30 Year Box, while there was no limit placed on the TOO Box download sale. So once the downloads are gone, the box sale will pick up. There is no question this will sell out, it is just a question of time Rock on

    what's our plan?
    So many folks posting on here about how to hide this purchase from the wife / spouse. I say we come up with a collective game plan - something like "wow, this was so cool that they sold such a great set for only $100!" If we all agree to it, we can make it happen. Who's in? :-)

    This is very tempting but at $700 this will take a while for me to decide. I don't see this selling out anytime soon so I might jump when it is announced that there are 500 left (for example: see latest Spring Box).Nice set though.

Ouch..sorry to hear that. Mine looked like whoever put the box together had no idea what they were doing. Just smashed the whole bottom portion instead of actually trying to fold the edges where the book is placed. Also have 1/2 inch rips in the two lower corners below the bottom of the book. Oh well..haha, everything else was fine.

Agree, it's a powerhouse. Go To Nassau and Dead Set are explosive. That jam leading up to the Jack Straw from Wichita is as good as it gets. I actually prefer 80 to 89 version.

What's up dead land. I always love discussing peoples favorite eras of this great music. Of course I know each year and for that matter each month and each show took on its own personality, but lets say we get 10 slots for the 30 years. I am giving 69 and 72 stand alone slots. What do your 10 look like? Pre 69 69 70-71 72 73-75 76-77 78-79 80-86 87-90 91-95

Morgul, Gimb & durb Baggins & ash nazg, & thrak ul ishi Lugburz...! I envy you guys that saw the Untitled-era Byrds ~ great band. You almost wish they'd had their own name so they could be honored in their own right. Simonrob, I was graced to see John Hartford perform exactly once, too, in the mid-80's at Artscape (Baltimore's arts festival that I assume is still going strong? JiminMD?). I didn't know who he was at the time, merely tagged along with my best friend's family, who were bluegrassers. Shuffling on that little soapbox of his, he charmed all present: young adults, old adults, kids, and skeptical classic-rawk teens like myself. Still can't explain to my conscience how I failed to motivate for the acoustic trio of Hartford, Grisman, and (Mike) Seeger when they came to my favorite small theatre in Portland around '99. (And I'd only recently known of Mike via the Shady Grove liner notes...to wink back on topic.) Speaking further of Mr. Hartford, yes, Jim, the Aereo Plane crew is five-star music. "Steam Powered Aereo-Takes" from those sessions is not to be missed.

...New Grass Revival. The Bush/Cowan/Flynn/Fleck lineup were so fun live. Their 80's studio albums don't do their performances justice, but there are moments: Can't Stop Now, Metric Lips, smokin' cover of I'm Down.... Flynn must make the ballot for most underrated guitarist alive ~ those choice, impossibly clean, lightning-fast runs he'd casually step forward to play, then step back again. The other guys, thankfully, have pretty much gotten their due. Bela's instrumentals were always the highlight for me. County Claire, Bigfoot, and I'll shout it again...METRIC LIPS!!!

So Dogon, you & Simomrob witnessed THAT performance of Atom Heart Mother? Sigh............. I don't suppose you also caught Fotheringay (and Floyd, and Jefferson Airplane, and the Byrds) at the Rotterdam Pop Festival that year? (of course, if we're talking Dell Fest ~ which must be cool if it's on the Potomac in Cumberland ~ gotta give a shoutout to Del McCoury and his boys....)

I break things up a little differently: '66-late '67 -- blues late '67-mid '69 -- add psychedelic mid '69-mid '71 -- add country late '71-'75 -- add jazz '76-early '78 -- add "disco" spring '78-early '79 -- start of "new sound" spring '79-'82 -- early Brent '83-summer '86 -- mid Brent Dec '86-summer '90 -- late Brent fall '90-'95 -- Vince I love hearing how different 'Heads think of eras!

ToddW, I like your breakdown--I agree that Keith's arrival in Fall '71 was the beginning of a new era. I would probably consider the time with both Keith and Pigpen as a separate era. I definitely consider the time Bruce spent as a regular member (Fall '90 to Spring Tour '92) as a separate era from those last years with Vince.

I was also at Bath, and 'twas amazing. My first festival too. Yes, very first performance of Atom Heart Mother with full choir at something like 6am the Sunday morning, my fav bands Hot Tuna, Jefferson Airplane, The Byrds et al. For folks who may be interested, my mate's archive www.ukrockfestivals.com/ has excellent coverage. I also remember Grace Slick, Jack and Jorma et al, early morning slow winding their way through part of the festival crowd, brush passing by me, laying horizontal, looking up. I missed my opportunity to dance naked on stage in the Airplane set, some guy asked me three times. The archive site has my Egypt '78 story too, and much much more!

True, with/without Pig deserves separation, but I only had 10 eras! I think spring '79-'82 deserves distinction as well, maybe spring '79-'80 and '81-'82? I think '82 is an underrated year, but maybe that's just because I grew up listening to April '82... April 12 is still my favorite Sugaree ever, not to mention the amazing Bird Song and deep Estimated!

Hi. I am French and I do not understand the English language. I am writing this with Google Translate.Alvarhanso, the 1974 concert comes from the city of Dijon, not Paris. There was a great Playing In The Band that night. I attended the Paris show given three days after the Dijon show. It was a soft and boring concert, unfortunately.

No, I didn't get to Kralingen, the Rotterdam Pop Festival (a.k.a. The Dutch Woodstock). The main acts were very similar to those that played at the Bath Festival as loads of American bands were in Europe that summer and got booked for both festivals. I did get to see Fotheringay at least once but I can't remember when or where.

Hi simonrob, no apologies needed. Since 2 months I have an American son-in-law, and he clearly has some trouble learning Dutch. That my daughter's English is very good (after traveling the world with him for 2 years) doesn't help either. Dutch is difficult for non-native speakers. But your Dutch sentence is good, you obviously used the example that you're most familiar with;). Grootjes is actually spelled groetjes (or groeten, if you want to lose the somewhat informal diminutive). However, I remember from highschool that English has it peculiarities too. For example, the sound of 'ea' changes, depending on surrounding letters: - hear - heard - heart - dead The laws of logic hardly apply to the development of languages. But then again, the Dutch usually adapt easily to other languages, if only because of their merchant nature. If you want to buy or sell something, you make sure you understand your trading partner. And after all, like music, trade is a universal language!

I have been disappointed with the lack of "updates" on the new box set. I definitely thought Dave, or someone from Rhino, would have had much more information than just the opening video on this historic box set. A short discussion about the box, itself, would have been nice. From the first "chat" one would have gotten the impression that some more in-depth information would be coming. I guess I just missed it....or did I?I guess, at my age, I should have known better. Mr. Pete--------> aging hippie

Mr. Pete - right under the purple block that says "The Shows" it states: Oh boy! We intended to add announce all 30 shows throughout the pre-order period, but we got scooped! So now you have it, but you should stay tuned as we will be revealing tons of great music, artwork, and more. At least the book and all the music have been "revealed. But that was only due to the delayed shipment. At the very least it would be nice to get an update on the delay.

I know I'm mostly preaching to the choir here, but I had the good fortune to finally see Chris Robinson Brotherhood live last night here in Louisville. Wow... those guys bring the goods, don't they? Like the GOGD, they are a MUCH better act live than in studio. I was always a fan of the Black Crowes and I love Chris Robinson's voice, but I wasn't prepared for just how awesome Neal Casal and Adam MacDougall are when left to their own devices. Two thumbs WAY up!

On the way to work blaring Dark Star > St. Stephen > Mason's Children. Very accessible - good for all, but especially a DS neo, as they don't wander too far from rhythm and melody. Vocals are strong, playing is super tight. Great sound, probably the best they've captured Mason. The only complaint is that they began dropping the William Tell arrangement from St. Stephen at this point. But that's what FW '69 Complete is for;-)

hey.. I forget who asked the question if this box is going to be HDCD. ..was listening to Lemieux on Today in GD History this morning, they played a segment of the other Waterbury CT '72 show (sounded great). He did specify the shows sound great and were recorded on HDCD's. No surprise there. ..dig KeithFan's review of what appears to be a 1970 show. What is it? 2/2/70 at the Fox? In the immortal words of David Gans, "I never met a Dark Star I did not like."

Atom Heart Mother has always been my favorite Pink Floyd album. I know I am in the minority here and it does not get great reviews.. but that album always spoke to me, especially Fat Old Sun and the title track. I think it was the moment when they finally crawled out of Syd Barrett's song writing shadow and began to shine. Check out the newer versions of Fat Old Sun on Live at the Royal Albert Hall DVD, the acoustic version on the Meltdown Concert DVD and the audio only version on Live in Gdansk. ok.. I'm off my high horse, back to some GOGD. Still finishing the 9/23/72 segment from Waterbury CT. Very nice.. especially That's It for the Other One. The last Cryptical until 1985. Edit: Too bad they did not record the Atom Heart Mother on higher quality film Sherman.. set the wayback to June 27th, 1970 and hand me that bottle of orange tablets on the shelf. There is some grainy black and white footage that survived: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVPwGExeLpI

An informal way of ending emails/letters is to use the tag line "mvg" e.g. blah blah blah mvg Bill mvg means "with friendly greetings" I used to change that "deliberately" to mean "with friendly vegetables" - just to have a laugh about my lack of fluent Dutch. HaHa - not so much, eh.

Uncle John’s Band (Garcia/Hunter)September 18, 1974, Palais des Expositions, Dijon, France An instant Deadhead favorite and long-term FM radio staple, the band reserved “Uncle John’s Band” for big late-show moments beginning soon after its late 1969 debut. Trekking through Europe with the enormous Wall of Sound speaker array — sent over by ship with a large stash of the band’s pot supplies — the Dead themselves were on the verge of retiring from the road indefinitely (or so they thought). But playing to a few hundred people in the French countryside seemed to give energy to the road-weary ensemble, and, in Dijon, “Uncle John’s Band” made a rare show-opening appearance in front of the tiniest Dead audience in years. The band shifts effortlessly into the jam and the music stretches casually, suggesting a number of spaces and possibilities, as if bookmarking them for the mammoth second set to come, from Garcia’s pointing solos to the coolly locked-in spaciousness discovered by Messrs. Weir, Lesh, Godchaux, and Kreutzmann just before the vocal coda.

Agree, Shrine 67 is just amazing! Wow and sound quality is stellar. How this did not get released in the 60s is beyond me. If you are on the fence, just buy the whole thing, you will not be sorry! If you can wait 5 to 10'years though, I'm sure they will stream it like they did for all of Europe 72.

Sorry if this topic has been previously run into the ground, but what exactly are the problems causing this delay in shipping? Anyone know? At least we can stream it, and it all sounds awesome. I've just been bouncing around, tripping on different songs from different eras, not yet concerned about the chronologic fortitude, if you will. So, this is going to be a wooden box, no? Putting the names on the side is super cheesy, but oh well. Gimme enough swag on the inside of the box, and I'll get over it.

This page says mid-October but when you order it, it says October 31. How about some more pictures of the box set so we can see more of what we've been waiting months for? Trying to save some listening for when I get the box, but was hard to stop once I heard Shrine 67. I was originally hoping for an early 72 Pigpen show for 1972, but that doesn't diminish this great box set of shows.

"the wheel is turning and you can't slow down" (apologies: rather than a clever retort, GD lyrical quotes just seem kind of banal around here). Anyway, I don't regulate ticket sales to this particular attraction; but, as Uncle Pinkus is fond of saying, "If you be payin', then you'll be playin'". Bob, among the great unwashed horde, life is reduced to series of hard fiscal choices. If it's any consolation, last night - over a snifter of Courvoisier L'Esprit and a Montecristo #4 - David told me the 30 Trips book contains a highly detailed glossy centerfold of Jerry, circa 85, sporting black, Lauren, tent-wear whilst affecting a seductively contemplative chin-on-chest pose and dewed in a provocative sheen. Now you say, "Gisele who?"/p,K P.S. Because I know you're asking: 'yes, thank you, I do enjoy the occasional cigar'.

Picked this up at Barnes and Noble for $30 and some change. You have to be a member ($25 a year) to get it at this price. The sound quality of the discs are MUCH better than the stream. Then again, I'm streaming the music thru A/V cables.
