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.)

Thanks team Rhino!!!

This box is clearly a labor of love and is spectacular!!! The jump between 66 and 67 is a quantum leap that can only be explained by alien intervention, and I am doing my best to go from start to finish to get the sense of their artistic development. My wife knew there was a contest so she (gasp!!!) opened my box set with the kids while I was at work. When I came home my kids ran to tell me they didn't find a prize in the box, so I asked them if they opened the secret complement. It blew their minds when I flipped open the lower flap and then I told them there was a book of spells and pulled out the "leather" bound book with the skeleton imprints and their jaw dropped. They believed me for a second, but then I told them it really wasn't a book of spells, but there was a secret scroll... Oh to be young and full of wonder. But the real reason I'm posting is that my buddy is a urologist as assures my that Mr. Lesh's diagnosis is very, very favorable and that he would expect him to recover fully from this. Get well soon Mr. Lesh!!!

7/3/66 Disc One Question

On 7/3/66 Disc One, in the first few seconds of Dancing In The Streetis there a complete drop out of the right channel only leaving sound on the left channel for a second or two? Just asking to see if I need to ask for a replacement.

Story with 3/18/71?

3/18/71 is not listed in Taping Compendium and only second set listed in Deadbase. Is this show fairly new to circulation? Anyone know?

More Zacherlee and Headphones

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. During high school I can remember tuning in my old Sony radio to late night radio up and down the East Coast. I lived on a peninsula that jutted out in the Chesapeake Bay and I could tune in all sorts of stations late at night. WNEW stands out as does WBZ in Boston. I remember hearing new albums by the Ultimate Spinach and Beacon Street Union while listening to the "Boss sound of Bosstown on WBZ. Both stations turned me on to lots of great music. Washington, DC had a great station in WHFS, Home Grown Radio, broadcasting from high atop the towers in Bethesda, MD. Great radio back in the day! Some high value headphones you might want to consider... Sennheiser Momentum - Closed back phones in on ear or around ear models - Bass forward phones. Music Direct has some incredible sales on both models Sennheiser HD 558 or 598 - Nice spacious sound - very good for listening to live performances or action movies. Grado - Grado SR 125 - Nice open sound stage that lets you hear a lot of detail. Choose any of the Prestige models and I think you would be happy. Alessandro Series by Grado - You are on the stage with the band with incredible focus on guitars. The MS1 comes in two prices $99 and $109. Can't go wrong with either. Google Alessandro High End to purchase. Grado headphones are handmade in Brooklyn HiFi Man RE400 - In ear phones. Nice for travel and noise isolation. Hard to beat for around $79 The Audeze headphone mentioned earlier are exceptional - just a little out of my price range... Thanks for all the good stuff here!

John Zacherley / Chiller Theater

I may be cut from the same paisley cloth as Mr. Ziffle. In the early 60s I used to watch Chiller Theater out of N.Y.C. It was hosted by none other than the famous John Zacherley. He would do these great comic interludes during horror movies. Voodoo Island stands out in my mind. Fast forward to WNEW in the late 60s. Cutting edge radio that was thought provoking. I remember a DJ by the name of Roscoe who would read works he had written. Really deep material. As for FM radio in the present day, there are some true free form seat of the pants DJs that can inspire and heal the listeners. The history of Underground Radio really begins with Tom Donahue and KMPX in the Bay Area. Playing complete albums and capturing the spirit of long songs such as Viola Lee Blues or Butterfield Blues Bands song East/West. I believe those pioneers of the mid 60s took great inspiration from classical ragas of India and extended jams of John Coltrane. And going back earlier, dance marathons anyone? But I digress. Certainly Jack Kerouac used spontaneous prose as a form "stretching out". Anyway Ziffle and I must have been at some of the same Dead concerts at the Fillmore East and the Capitol Theater (Port Chester). My fourth row center seat at the Fillmore 9/19/70. Maybe it was Mr. Ziff or one of his buddies who sold it to me on the street before the show for face value. ($5:50) Long live Zacheley! Love and healing to Phil.

@Alain - 30 Trips Vol2

gninetsil ot eseht swohs sdrawkcab morf 95 to 85 so far

started on the 95 show, very nice, if you notice, this show and a few others were recorded by John Cutler vs others by Dan Healy, the Cutler shows are recorded much better. 94 show is very good, there seems to be a drop out or digi skip when help on the way goes into slipknot, from track 1 to 2, anybody else got this? 93, right away you notice the sound quality is not as good as 95 and 94, recorded by Healy, but a fine show non the less. 92 Hell in a Bucket on this show and 93 show, not my favorite opener and why 2 in a row? Healy again and Bucket starts off inferior recording, but gets better as the show progresses. 91 great show, 8 man band with Hornsby and Branford, great sound, better Healy recording. 90, another great show, with Bruce and Vince, Bruce really did fit in great with this band. 89, 24 track, recorded by Cutler, this is the shit here, best show of 89. I have stories about this weekend in Miami, but will save those for another post. 88, inferior sound quality again and there are way better 88 shows to pick from, why this one? must be the Touch of Gray. The fall 88 tour was hands down better than the spring or summer tour. 87 and 86, 2 discs, short shows, no big jams, nothing special here and another hell in a bucket. I will say the Terrapin from 86 is pretty sweet. I did not go to Dead shows in 86 or 87, giving Jerry some breathing room after his near brush with death. 85 is a very nice show, there were a lot of good shows in 85, especially on the fall tour. The Cutler shows are all top notch recordings, the Healy shows, not so much. I will be listening to the rest of these 8o's shows today, so far, no real problems with discs or anything, the sleeves are way better than those ones from E72, which ripped if you tried to get the disc out, these are much better, the box is nice but won't last very long, made of cardboard, but is a bit sturdier than E72's box, which is very fragile. Love the book, the stories in it are awesome and the way that half is one side up and the other half is up side down, is this the way everyone's is or is mine just put together wrong? doesn't matter, still all there and quite cool. All in all, a good 11 shows to start off the listening experience, I would have chosen better shows for 85 86 87 and 88, but I don't have access to the vault and the shows I would have picked may be worse recordings than these, who knows? Just my opinions and are subject to discussion. More later, have a great day, freezing here in the mountains this am, gonna be a long long cold winter, good thing I have this box to keep me warm :)

Contextualizing Dick's Picks 4

ziffle - Incredible posts on the 2/13-14/70 runs. Thanks for all that info, and I always love those first-hand stories. Jim - After Ziffle's contextualization of the shows, here is my attempt to explain why I think they chopped up that run when they released DP4, by contextualizing the release. First, this was released in early 1996, very early in the Vault release experiment - and it WAS an experiment at the time. Dick's Picks 1 was a chopped up 73 show - two discs, DP2 was one (awesome) disc, DP3 saw them chopping up one of the all-time 77 Dead shows (also two discs). So, DP4 was the first three-disc release. More expensive, more risky. At the time in the music biz, A two disc CD set was a big deal, and a three-disc set was nearly unheard of - a "box set." The BIG expensive box sets released in the early to mid-90s were things like Marley's Songs of Freedom, or the Police Message in a Box (ALL their albums and singles, from their whole career, on four discs!!!). This was part of a gradual evolution to bigger releases... first to complete shows (Dick's Picks 5!), then two shows together (DP29), then full runs (Fillmore West 69), and still later to complete tours (Europe 72). Now, it's easy to wish they had figured out earlier that we are willing to cough up tons of money for complete, but this is forgetting yet another factor: We were all much younger then, with far less disposable income. In Feb 1996 I had just finished grad school; I had begun my first full-time college teaching gig only a few weeks earlier. I was living in a shack, putting all my money into ramen noodles and paying down student loans. I would NOT have been able to buy full runs, etc. So, in short, the evolution of bigger boxes and more complete releases coincided with (but was not caused by) the evolution of many of the Deadheads to old farts with some money to spend. Co-evolution baby! It's 27 degrees here in western MA. My wife is making scones, my daughter is making Play-doh people, and I haven't heard much of 30 Trips yet, just hard to with all this other stuff going on. But I will - and life is GOOD. Time for more coffee. Cheers everyone ...

Fillmore East sound board + Dick's Picks 4

Top notch for the era from what is stated about the sound board. I think Bears notes mention John Chester unique sound board. Check out Dicks Picks 4 notes for details and also the Allman Brothers Band - Fillmore East February 1970 CD notes that was released on GDRecords. I think I read someplace Dick L or Bear mentioned the tapes were Mono and Stereo, which may have been the challenge of getting them out? Bear mentions the two bands briefly crossed passed in Atlanta 1969, but did not hear the ABB play live at the time. Only hearing their studio album in Autumn later that year, so it was a treat and sort of surprise for Bear to see 2 trap sets, similar to the GD when they were billed together in Feb1970 "Glorious Sunday morning" - love that

jrf68

im a bit old and rubbish at working out a pm - can you ask him to email me at gilmourstephen@hotmail.com -- thanks jrf

Stephen

In all fairness I was just yankin' yer chain(well,mostly WaysandMeans chain). Sorry.Feeling pranksterish this evening. Hope all goes well with the sale. ;)

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

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
