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 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.)

Anybody have Dave's Picks 1 for sale ?

For a Reasonable price ? Can do cash, credit, or trade. Lots of good stuff showing up at my doorstep lately, make an offer if ya got it and are willing to part. Or Fillmore West Complete Recordings ? If you are searching like me, I may have what you are looking for. Hey Forensicdocevelen, what is the good word in regard to 3.11.71 - U. Centre Ballroom, Dekalb, IL ? Was this show cancelled ? 4.18.71 going a few days ago,, excellent Truckin : Hard To Handle. And the Drums during Good Lovin' ,, so nice Billy K is killing it. I may just have to call him "Billy Killin'IT" Edit: Is there any truth or can someone confirm if the Grateful Dead played a show at Kent State on 4.2.71 ? One person says it happened at a small bar and not a large venue. 2 days later they would be in NYC, but no local records show they played at Kent State. Being the middle of the semester I suppose school newspapers would have documented this, but nothing has turned up.

To TPTB: Please, please, please free the Fillmore West Complete Recordings from their captivity. Make it a brown box special so the original pressing is more valuable. Just like old Beatle records - 1st generation pressings are worth the most! Re-Release for the 50th Please! Thank you!

4.13.83 primo

Included in the Jeebs stash, as was Riverbend 85. Jeebs was always trying to find some of the more quality recordings from all eras. I suspect a few of these 30 trips shows were picked based upon higher quality sound compared to others in the same year. And a few were also picked to save some meat for releases in other series. 1980 does standout considering August, September, October all have some very special stuff. One show Jeebs didn't recommended was 6.24.83 probably because only Audience are circulating. But this one is a dandy. Sets fire from first contact. And the Candyman > Red Rooster is full throttle. April 84 showing up lately, and 4.29.84 is going way under the radar.

Ten years from now....

....when I'm pushing sixty, I imagine them releasing a huge box to store all the boxes. Hopefully in the shape of a vintage VW bus, circa '74, with a pop top. That would be neat...really neat. ....some of those buses were awesome eye candy. Even in the late eighties, they turned my head, Dead that is....

Choices of shows

Really impressed by the choices made here, especially post-1978. Dave really put together a fantastic set. I'm wondering if there are any choices that people are second-guessing, and if so, what would they replace them with (knowing what we know about the contents of the Vault). Remember, I'm not complaining! I love this set, purchased one, and can't wait to dive in. But we've got to pass the time somehow until 9/18 and keyboardist debates can get old (and sometimes violent). I feel the choices for 1966, 1967, 1969, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1979, 1981, 1982, 1984, 1987, 1989, 1991, 1992, 1993, and 1994 are spot-on. Wouldn't change a thing. I don't know much about the choices for 1968, 1983, 1986, or 1990, so I won't comment on them. I love the choice of 4/15/70. Great show. But I would have gone with 9/20/70 to get some of that Fall 1970 sound. If that's not in the Vault (unclear), then I'm fine with this choice. They also could have used 6/7/70, which is in the Vault. I also love the pick of 3/18/71, but its the exclusion of December '71 material that has me second-guessing. 12/5/71 or 12/15/71 are up there too! A complete 8/6/71 would also have been nice, but much of that show is out with DP35 and RT 1.3. The 1972 choice is interesting. The one that circulates could use some cleaning up, and that may catapult the show into top-tier status. Much of October 1972 is not in the Vault, so choices like 10/18/72 and 10/28/72 aren't options. I would have gone with 9/28/72 from September or either of the Berkley shows if not 9/24/72. That said, I'm looking forward to the Vault's copy of this show. Again, 11/14/73 is a GREAT show. Love it. Happy with the choice. But I would have picked 6/10/73, 10/25/73, or one of the March shows over it. 1977 is a unique case. I would have taken a number of shows over 4/25, but they're not in the Vault. 2/26, 5/5-5/9, 10/29, and 11/6 aren't there. 3/18 could have been a great pick...perhaps someday? However, I'm happy with what I've heard of 4/25 and this is a worthy choice. I'm a bit baffled by the choice for 1978. I've always felt that '78 got worse as the year went on, with January > Feb > April > May. I know 1/22/78 and Red Rocks aren't in the Vault, and all 3 would have been great options. Maybe 4/21/78? With DP18, From Egypt with Love, COW, and DaP7, some of the best shows are already out there. Similarly, the 1980 choice is confusing. Obviously, I would have hoped for an acoustic set from Sept or Oct, but those were chopped for Reckoning and Dead Set. I always felt 11/29 was a superior show to 11/28, and 6/20 would have also been a better choice. I like 6/24/85, but it pales in comparison to 6/30 or 7/1. Hopefully, those are a mini-box at some point. There are some good November shows, but I'd still go with 6/24 over those. I'm no expert on 1988 or 1995, but I always felt 7/2/88 was the best show of '88 and 3/30/95 was the best of '95. What do you think?

Re: Choices of Shows, Brent

In response to Mr. Jack Straw...here is my quick 2 cents. Overall, I am very excited about most of the selections in this box set. He was either spot on (10/27/79), or very close (6/24/85) with a lot of the choices...in my opinion. However...here are a few dates I would trade out for. 1981: 3/6/81 ...amazing show...Let it Grow>Deal is a must hear, as is the Estimated>Franklin's. Would have loved to have seen 7/10/81 also...awesome 2nd set. Hope this could be a Dave's pick soon. 1983: Most of the Spring tour, especially 4/13/83 (one of the best Scarlet>Fires EVER), and 6/20/83 would have been incredible to see in this box. 1985: 6/27/85, Saratoga: great playing, inspired setlist...including Feel Like a Stranger> Eyes, a 1st set Crazy Fingers, and an exciting Supplication jam Whoever does not know these shows should check them out. Quickly on Brent...I did not learn to appreciate him until well after even Jerry died. I love his early singing more than his later years, but I LOVE Blow Away these days. I also love a nice Far From Me. I would have laughed myself out of town 20 years ago if I heard myself say these things...but there you go.

Brent, et al.

Just a Little Light, Blow Away, Easy to Love You, I Will Take You Home, all fine by me. Do the people railing on IWTYH have children? Hey Pocky Way cover was a highlight. I agree the Blow Away rap was cring-inducing at times, but the song structure and way it jammed out to an unexpected stop, particularly '89 versions, was great. My reaction to much of the "90 boxes was that the band was lucky Brent was there, because he was working like mad to keep these songs coherent. A little like Garth Hudson for The Band--the more you listen, the songs are really his keyboards combined with all the sweet singing. Except for the Dead you had not so sweet singing, at that point, usually. Bob's 'angular' later songs? Throwing Stones, Picasso Moon, Feel Like a Stranger--love them all. I expect some of the highlight shows not included in this newest box are to save for later DPs and boxes.

Noticeably absent from the box altogether. Was always my favorite encore, just perfect.

May post more later, but I

May post more later, but I was at the Cincy '85 show and was a little surprised that it was selected. I hope DL2 gives us some thoughts on how the shows were selected . . . I mean, after all, that's part of the fun of being an obsessive Deadhead is engaging in such arcanity (and why the Boys still make lots of money off us!). I thought a good show, better than most during that period in which Jerry was so obviously seriously impaired, but would have thought Saratoga a few nights later or one of the Red Rocks shows, or the Halloween show in Columbia, SC with the Space opening of set 1(which was quite good). Also a bit confused why none of the anniversary shows from 1980 were selected instead of a pretty pedestrian Lakeland, FL show. Any clues on that one? I mean, is it correct that the NOLA shows were not recorded by Healey or Betty? I've always loved the AUD of that second show with the Brokedown encore. Please don't take this as whining . . . it's not. I bought on day 3 (had to fix debit card max charge and didn't realize the snafu for a couple of days) and think this will be superb. This may be the product that my kids (25 and 21) really come to grips with the importance of the Dead as a musical phenomena as opposed to a social and commercial one. Anyway, just rambling gambling thoughts! DCFHOF. It's time. Kentucky Scott

Hey Muleskinner....

....I would like to shake your hand one day, and call you friend....Shawshank reference there btw....

non-cd HDCD playback correction

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).

Re; DaveStrang....

....going back a couple pages. Can't keep up....board is on fire! ....good call on Aztlan by Los Lobos. Great release. In regards to DP33....'nuff said indeed....

30 Trips Streaming

all of the sudden, I can't get the 30 trips streaming anymore. when I look up my order number, it says it can't find an order with the zip code I put in. it's been working since 9/18 until now. anyone else having trouble?

RE: 30 Trips Streaming

KF- I am having the same problem. I can't check the status of any orders.

mojave

Thanks man, maybe just a problem with the site.

Can't buy anything either....

....shows temporarily unavailable. Methinks the system is overloaded by printing shipping tags...yeah!

back in business

what a relief. all could think was they accidentally deleted my order at the 2 minute warning.

Individual shows - update

OK guys - a few of you know but I have a pretty serious eye op to pay for coming soon - 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): Email me at gilmourstephen@hotmail.com ShowS available still are 68 76 77 78 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 88 90 92 93 94 95 Also taking offers on scroll, single and book from box as a set or per item

HDCD stream decode on Oppo

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!!

Countdown Revisited

Either 8 OR 24 days until BOXZILLA ships.

I'm trying I'm really trying, but it's not working

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'm not streaming anymore

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.

Grateful Dead and Good Music

If you're just going to listen to The Grateful Dead just for the good music that's great but you may not be getting it as something greater than good music.

fourwindsblow

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.

From 68

Don't know how many came across this, but pretty neat. Dead playing 5/3/68 on sidewalk in NYC http://songmango.com/rare-video-the-grateful-dead-blow-minds-in-1968/

Thanks

What a killer video clip. GOGD

Pigpen Rap

Couldn't it be said that Pigpen was one of the original rappers?

That's It For The Other One

And when the day had ended, with rainbow colors blended,Their minds remained unbended, He had to die, Oh, you know he had to die.

'68 video.

Wow that is weird. How many times does Billy appear with sunglasses off, then with 'em on, then they're off again etc. Also Mickey appears to take his shades and hat off. All this while they keep drumming without any noticeable pauses. Despite the weirdness, what a great video!

Mickey's hat

Yeah noticed that too, but you can see Mickey shaking his head a couple of times to jettison the hat off in the clip provided...

very funny,,,, VERY

@SS1971 - are you the ebayer "thebanditisback"?

StStephen1971, are you the ebayer "thebanditisback" from oz that's selling the individual 30 Trips shows for $50 as well as selling the $700 30 Trips boxset for $1119.64 (plus shipping and handling)?

I just got...

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.

Yahoooo!!!!!!!

I just got a text saying the same thing! It says it's from Warner Music Group, coming from UPS (although sometimes they offload to USPS - we'll see.)

It is

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 it too

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.

Enough with the sales here please.

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.

sorry to say i am not the bandit bob lopes

also i dont have a full box to sell...however i have bought dead stuff from the bandit before i think he runs a shop in sydney

To anyone w/ Shipping Notices

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

Shipping Notice

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

@HairyAss

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. :)

wjonjd

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.

@gary

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.

Shipping Notice

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.

Dennis Videos

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

AAUGH!!!

Where is my shipping notice?!?

good night and let's hope

well heading to the house...good night to all the positive spirits...maybe we all get a notice by tomorrow. although for dap15 it was at my door before i got a notice.

More Commercials Please

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.

This one's for OldeEnglish and One Man

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

Still no shipping notice here...

...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.

update?

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.

Big Box Shipping?

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.

Spacebrother

I've just rung Deadnet enquiring about an order using your ID - they say your order has been cancelled... Wanna buy an individual show lol - $70 per show for you brother (special rate)

@LoveJerry

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.

One Man: Fire Sale, a la carte

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
