    "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.

    Those sonic anomalies were at the show. Turn it up load and at 9:20 you can hear someone in the band say "what is it?"

    1989
    Just listened to 10/26/1989 from this box. This is my new favorite show. Interesting songs in the 1st set and the obviously amazing Dark Star and the other jamming from the 2nd set. Hard to believe that there are still shows this good out there. The GD never cease to amaze me. Edit: I just read Peter Lavezzoli's review of this show in Deadbase. Very well written and a great description of the Dark Star.

    Replacement discs
    I thought some of you might be wondering about process for replacing defective discs. I see some people have already received some. For what it's worth, my experience was as follows: I have been creeping my way through a chronological listen to 30 Trips--just digested 1984 last night. Found along the way that the third disc of my 1977 show skipped on US Blues. Tried multiple players, etc., but no luck. Contacted dead.net customer service via email on December 11, and the reply was fairly vague: something along the lines of "we have passed this info along to the appropriate people." Followed up 2 weeks later for an update, and was told that I was in line for a replacement disc, and that I could expect the whole process to take 4-6 weeks. On Friday, 49 days after my initial email, I got a new disc 3 of 1977 in the mail. Haven't checked it out yet, but the CS process seems to be working, if somewhat slowly. I can live with that. I hope everyone else's issues are being resolved as well. Seems from many comments here that this release was a bit crazy on the CS side, even after the initial shipping debacle. While I'm at it, here are a few thoughts on the shows: sound quality on early-80s material is obviously inferior to that on many earlier shows. The 65 show is of interest historically, 66 surprisingly good, 67-74 top notch. 75-78 were a let down for me, but probably only because my expectations were so high. I had, on the other hand, low expectations for the Brent years, as they're not usually my favorite, but I have to say I've been enjoying them a lot. What really stands out are the Drumz and Space segments, and some of the looser jamming. I know some people are more into first set material, or late-show slow ballads and Bobby rockers, or whatever, but I'm happiest when they get more out, playing more free, and this happens more than I think of it happening in these early 80s shows. This seems one of the great virtues of the box: reminding listeners that they can rethink assumptions about eras. I'll still probably be more likely to reach (as I always have) for late-68>early-71 or late-73>74 than anything else after this box, but the 80s will get more time with my ears than they have in the past.

    30 Trips Scroll Question
    Good morning, I had purchased this box set and it bugged me that I could not figure out which number i was out of the 6500. I didn't realize until looking at pictures of other box sets that on mine it says MIRACLE instead of a number. I remember reading about different scroll, reading the website, it says i needed to redeem by Jan 15, is there anything I can do at this time? Thanks Michael

    Been a rough patch in rock: Bowie, Frey, and now Kantner. RIP. Back to Boxzilla #2, now that Marye and Dr. Rhino got on the case. :) Blue lining this time instead of red. I'm really enjoying listening to the shows before looking at the set lists. Just makes it seem more show-like than listening to a CD. Verdicts the same as before: I really love the '67 and '69. Wish '68 was longer, but fantastic. and the '66 was a very pleasant surprise.

    Odd sonic anomalies on 10/27/79's Dancing In The Street
    Reading thru this thread, I see some folks have problems with disc 2 of 10/27/79, so I checked it out for myself.I hear this distortion / odd digi-noise during Dancing In The Street at 9:04-5 and about 9:13-15. I heard it when I first played the show not too long after I got the 30TATS box, I took it as noise on the original master cassettes, "sonic gremlins" I did not hear any sonic anomalies at 9:24. I still take these noises on the original master cassettes as original imperfections on the tape, made either on the date - 10/27/79 or during playback at sometime before 2015. I don't have my original cassettes or CD-Rs to compare with, but I'm happy with the inclusion of this show in this box. But I'd rather have it "just exactly perfect" What do I do?

    Couldn't Let That Deal Go Down!
    I was always looking at the "1967-11-10 - Shrine Exposition Hall" in vinyl, but couldn't justify the expense. I haven't spun a lp for YEARS, got a closet filled with vinyl, just don't have a turntable set up anymore. But I did like the idea of the Shrine show and them only putting out 6700 copies. I thought this thing will be worth a few bucks down the road. I have the 30 Trips Box, so I have the show in digital. I had just looked at Amazon and they had one listed, still had to resist temptation. Then my wife got a $50 gift card from her investment company (who have been doing a very shitty job and are about to be dropped). She was like, oh you can have it, I already have almost 200 bucks worth that people gave me for Christmas to get kindle books with, go ahead use it! I was like you sure? So I ordered a copy today and only put out 20 bucks! So on the shelf it goes unopened. I figure 5 years from now it goes for 1.2 mill and my wife can retire! :-)But really, I've been thinking about pulling the sound system out of moth balls and this will give me a good reference, will be able to compare digital and vinyl. In the mean time will look good on shelf next to all the box sets. Yay, me!

    re: Static on Dancin' 79/Boxzilla
    Daverock - not sure if it is the same static I hear, but around 9:14 on this Dancin' in the Street there is some mad static that erupts for just a moment or two; it is clearly an artifact happening at the actual show, because all of the musicians back off for a moment after it resolves, then they pick back up again. If this is the same moment you are referencing, rest assured it is not a faulty disc, but one of the warts of the otherwise excellent show. The same static is recollected from the cassette I used to have of this show as well, in the same spot. Rock onward, upward. Sixtus

I hope this is useful for some out there. Recently I suggested that HDCD playback required playing back the actual CD (or as has been mentioned by others, decoding to a 24 bit file using hdcd.exe). I think that I was mistaken, although this is highly dependent on hardware and software set up. I'm not quite finished looking into this, but so far - using iTunes on a Mac (don't know about the Windows version), going into an HDCD compliant DAC, you will get the full HDCD quality provided that the entire software chain is set to exactly 44.1/16 bits (in audio midi setup.app), no normalization (called "sound check" in Apple gobbledy gook) or equalization whatsoever, and the volume controls all set to 100% (unity), no attenuation, no boost in both iTunes and in the "Sound Preferences", and no upsampling from third party software or any other modification. The mac will then pass a "bit perfect" signal (including the encrypted encoding information) to the HDCD enable DAC or playback device. This also works for dts multi-channel audio going to a digital playback device with dts decoding. I tested this with an iMac, OS 10.11, iTunes 12.3.0 connected via HDMI to an Oppo 105D playback device. I'm sure it will work with any DAC or playback device using the USB input. I doubt it will work via toslink (optical). In case this isn't obvious, the files must be in a compatible lossless format, for Mac, ALAC, WAV, AIF; in the case of a direct connection to the device (directly connected flash/HDD), uncompressed AIF or WAV (preferable in any case).

Hey Ziffle - Does an HDCD indicator illuminate on the Oppo when you pass a bit-perfect stream through the player via USB? I had contacted Oppo about a year ago to see if this was possible (if so I was going to buy a player straight away) and they said that the HDCD chip only decoded a stream directly from the CD transport and not through a stream, but that the were working on changing this. I haven't noticed any indication that this was changed with any of the firmware updates. If you are certain that HDCD is decoded via USB, I wonder if it is decoded using DNLA as well from a NAS. And for anyone else out there with an Oppo 103, I wonder if they can stream and decode HDCD. At the moment I have all my HDCD Dead decoded using hdcd.exe and would much rather maintain it as 16 bit CD rips of uninterrupted concerts that decode on my stereo. Any info people can provide would be a huge help!!

I keep trying the Brent stuff. I streamed the 30 Trips Scarlet Begonias. His backup vocals are just wretched. Donna sounded so much better on 90% of what she sang on. I can't stand her on Playing and some of the early renditions of Scarlet (1974) when she was just crooning on top of everyone, and sure, there are other moments when she sounds bad (but not worse than anyone else); but by-and-large she was a pleasant and indispensable element of their sound in those years. I get that the band needed a change, but really they should have taken off a year, sobered up, and worked it out with the Godchauxs. Or at a minimum they should have kept Brent off vocals (then we'd only be stuck with the Styx "because it's you babe" keyboard sound effects). I think a sober Jerry and Co would have passed on this guy. I know, all of the 80s fans are going to say "but Jerry loved playing with him"; means nothing as far as the band's sound goes. Jerry loved heroin too, but that didn't make it good for him or the Grateful Dead. I wouldn't say this version of the band doesn't hold a candle to the 70s, but it's more like they're holding a candle at half open door in the dark, looking in at their former selves. It's no mystery why there's a greater demand for the 70s.

I won't take the fun out of enjoying the music until the box arrives. I also find it easier to read the physical book than to read online and scroll up and down, left and right.I had my fun streaming shows from this box, 1967, '68 and the 2nd set of 2/21/95. I also streamed some individual songs here and there with particular attention to the 10/12/84 Dew. I never had a copy of this show before, and I was asked if there was an audience patch in there, and there was, so I confirmed the bad news for someone who isn't getting the box - just wanted a few shows. Right now, I won't listen to any Dead until the box arrives, so everything sounds new and fresh and also very familiar. Sort of freshening my mind up. It works for me.

Rap is decadent preaches no morality...the greateful sang of great moral standing...take jack straw for example...I heard rap and I get violence abuse of women and it's basically music by tone deaf people who sample written songs...I knew rappers they got on labels while the real musicians didn't...and I have a problem with the ethics of that...I heard A&R reject non-rap based on they were non-rap...sorry rap is the only thing that's selling now...I really shiver when I think of rap...whatever happened to black culture they went from Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Miles Davis, Aretha Franklin, Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, Otis Redding, Jimi Hendrix....to what Dr Dre? Beyoncé who is basically a homogenized type of singer that sounds like about 20 other girls...do you get my drift? Rap doesn't leave a greatness tag to the name...the people I mentioned were truly great but I don't get that with the current rap...and another thing people aren't buying CDs because they can download them for free they're not buying them because they suck...if anyone here wanted to mail me the latest Justin Bieber CD or Miley Cyrus CD i'd say no thanks...and that's for FREE...rap rap is crap...mindless shit.

an email from UPS stating that an item is set to arrive tomorrow between 10am>2pm, could it be..... Does anyone out here in Deadland know who is shipping 30 Trips, USPS,UPS etc? I haven't received a shipping notice from dead.net just an email from UPS with a tracking number. Totally confused as I'm not expecting from UPS. Anyone else out in the DEAD PLAYGROUND receive a similar notice? Warner Music Group Promo is the shipper. The plot thickens the mystery unfolds.

Yee-haw not Yahooo. Signed The hairy ass hillbilly I have not received any notification but I did state yesterday that I thought this was the week. Can it be, could it be? Your sure you haven't ordered anything else? What part of the world are you from? US Europe?

I just got the same UPS message as well. Unfortunately I leave for a weekend away tomorrow evening but at least the box will be waiting for me when I return.

I'm new to posting here although I've been lurking and reading the comments for a long time. I'm getting sick of seeing the same posts over and over again with one certain person trying to make a profit on the box we're all so excited for. It's not a huge deal but it interrupts the flow of the posts and as I'm reading I'm getting sick of having to pass the same spam over and over again. Take it to ebay...this isn't your personal marketplace.

Have you checked your Order Status page to see if the Box's status has changed from "Backordered" to "Shipped' (or something else)?

My order status still says "Backordered" even though I got a text message that a package will be delivered tomorrow.

Nope, this is the only package I'm expecting, and it would be too much of a coincidence that other people have notices about a package from Warner Music Group. I'm in the U.S. :)

sounds great, can't wait. You must be close to the east coast distribution center? Does all or most ship out of Virginia or North Carolina? Still kind of new to all these steps.

Actually, I'm in one of the great cornfield states! When I check tracking info it says it was originally scanned in Taylor, PA. I Don't think this is where the Dave's Picks ship from but I'm not sure.

I just checked my order and it still says backordered. My shipping notice is from WARNER MUSIC GROUP PROMO and the weight on the package says 16 lbs. I can't imagine what else it would be. I'm in PA which is fairly close to where they ship the DAP from.

That animated cartoon about china ryder is absolutely outrageous. "I married a deadhead." Brilliant. The 68 Columbia video has been around for a while but always was the video of random music from that show's board. Looks like VoodooNola might have finally figured out the right positioning for the synch. Still not sure. I am sure all of you follow Voodoo on youtube. He has constantly placed incredible videos of shows for some time now. g

And soon! I can't wait to read about how many individual shows are not selling. In other news, I will alert my wife to BOLO for the postman the rest of the week. I think an unveiling & listening party this weekend is just the thing! The pantry is already stocked for the occasion.

Most heads have bought a show or two (some have even offered money as donations to help with my op - thanks guys - and you know who you are). This allows heads to get the shows they want without buying the big box and helps me towards a vital op...if enough others say stop the listing i will - otherwise OldeEnglish and One Man - bite me ;) OK guys - a few more went today only a few left - so I'm trying to shift the remaining shows asap. EACH of the following now ONLY $45US per show inc shipping from oz (sent day i get box): SPECIAL deal as im not a fan of 93,94,95 - anyone who wants all 3 only 120US for the 3.... Email me at gilmourstephen@hotmail.com ShowS available still are 68 78 80 82 83 86 90 92 93 94 95 Also taking offers on scroll, single and book from box as a set or per item

...and my order status still says backordered. The only thing more annoying here than the negativity, bickering over eras and needless gossip about others behind their backs on facebook fan pages is a guy who posts which shows he wants to sell from his box 50 times a day on every single thread. Nobody wants an incomplete box (those in their right minds anyways). Give it up. You are doing resellers a great disservice, and I'm not even against reselling.

if you use that quaser thing ups has and it says 16 pounds of something it's got to be the box set...now that I think of it the grateful usually send out shipping notices one day after you receive the item...I hope that's the case here...I tell you I know how a girl feels like when she's been raped because that's how I feel through this whole ideal...like a woman who's been raped, I feel defiled, used and abused...i'm sure we all do in some respects over this ordeal.

Just talked to CS @ Dead.net they say my order has not shipped and they know nothing about boxes shipping now/tomorrow. But she did say that it's still possible that boxes have started to ship and they haven't been notified. Hmmm.

Well, at least you keep giving it a shot now and again. No one can really ask more than that, right? As you know, I really love Brent's playing (and singing, actually, although I could do without most the songs he wrote), and I find that very frequently his playing is an integral part what I'm getting off on. I think he was both technically excellent, and more importantly, was great at finding endlessly creative ways of becoming part of the musical conversation going on with the others, and I like that he took the musical lead in that regard, not infrequently. I think he was a perfect match for them at that time - and would dearly like to have heard him with 70's era Dead, except that I wouldn't trade Keith for anything during that time period and I guess you can't have it both ways (oh, and I wouldn't give up Donna either - I not only love her singing, but I think the "Donna wails" in Playing and others was GREAT - something's missing without them.) Your opinion is shared by many (not all, and I'm not sure about most - but that's possible) and I recognize you sincerely feel this way. It also looks like you recognize that, IF you could get off on his playing, there is a ton of stuff you could more thoroughly enjoy in the later years. Like I said, no one can ask more than that you try, and you did, so it is what it is. If I'm not mistaken, there's more than a lifetime's worth of great Dead to get off on without him, so you're doin' pretty ok in that regard, in any case.

These originally came as a set, but I'm finding that some are increasingly burdensome (and, sadly, devalued) with age, while many of you won't have use for others, so I'm parceling out my (1) marbles for $55 (2) youthful idealism for $45 (3) optimism for $25 (4) devastating wit for $15 (5) ravishing good looks for $10 (well, I am a realist at heart...) and, finally, (6) unquestioning commitment to blind purchase of future releases for a nickel. email me at: hotbridgeinbrooklyn@yahoo.com /peace, K
