"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.

30 Trips

Now that both versions have sold out, and TPTB have said they will not sell them as individual cd's, I wonder how long until they will be sold individually as downloads. I'm certain it will happen.....

RE: Broken Boxes

I agree with Space on this, the more boxes that get cannibalized, the more valuable my complete box will be. As a collector I have learned to buy whatever dead.net offers the day it is announced and think about it later. This habit started with Dick's Pick 1, years before i got my first CD player for DP 4 to hear the Other One without a cut, and hasn't stopped yet. I sometimes buy 2 copies and open one, rip it and give it away to a friend, keeping the sealed one as my master. As Rhino moves to a more digital friendly distribution, I feel the number of limited edition CDs will get even tighter as they tweek the number needed to pay for the release and then be able to distribute digitally forever. To see this in action look at Robert Fripps DGMlive as a perfect example of commercial digital distribution of an artists archival releases. What is this ebay thing people talk about? ;)

@ reijo29: 1975 Trip - Harmonica player

That's Matt Kelly a friend of Weir's, later a member of Kingfish. Also he plays on Beat It On Down The Line. Low in the mix, bummer.

USB BOLT SOLD OUT!

YAHOOOOO! This edition of the 50th anniversary box FINALLY SOLD OUT!The last time I checked here and tried to buy 15 bolt USB's was Sunday 21 February 2016, I could not buy more than 11. It took some time but dead.net finally sold "every last one" There may be some returns, but essentially they're gone. I bought the 80 CD big box and I love it. Although I was familiar with most of the shows prior to this official release everything sounds like a new suprise. Since there was a delay with the USB package, I wish the 11/14/73 San Diego show was presented in it's correct playing order, as opposed to the CD version and that the Drums> Space on several shows did not have fades. That would have made this USB better than the CD version. Oh well. I now believe that GDP / Rhino know what they're doing. Kudos on a project done well!

@Unklesam re: ebay

On your $200 profit you forgot: ebay & Paypal fees are approx. 10%. So your profit is now down to $90. Is it really worth it? You would have to create 30 ebay listings, and make numerous trips to the post office. I myself would not put that kind of effort into making $90. Rock on

Broken Boxes

Breaking up these boxes is a non-sequitur imho. I wouldn't do it because I'm not so era-centric to deny myself the enjoyment of something that was put together as a timeline project. On the other side of that, the more boxes that do get cannibalized will only make the complete sets more valuable, if you're into commodities. If you purchase a show from the box that happens to have a bad disc, good luck getting that replaced.

limited, collectors items, making profit

There are a lot of people who have always profited from the grateful dead. Jerry didn't mind, look at the parking lots in most dead shows, full of people who made a living from selling stuff to kind folks related to the band and band members. There will always be a demand for these great recordings, limited or not, there will and is a way for the masses to get these shows, if not from a friend via a cdr, then from ebay. There are a lot more people out there nowdays who do buy and sell just for profit on ebay, and why not? Where are you going to get such a great return for your initial investment? Breaking up the boxes and selling each show for, say, 30 bucks, that's a quick (within a week) profit of 200 bucks. Where else are you going to make that kinda of cash for sitting infront of your computer and posting shows? Seriously, if one had the money, could buy up as many as you could afford, hold them for 6 months until sold out, then put them up at twice what you paid, there is no where else anywhere that you are going to get that much return for an investment so fast, nowhere, certainly not the stock market. I know several people who have been doing the resale thing for a few years, first with old lp's that they acquired via estate sales, garage sales or record store buyouts or when a lot of folks "upgraded" to cd's back in the 90's. I for one did not do that, I kept my old records and bought the cd's to play, but that's another story cause cd's don't sound as good as lp's in my opinion. They still do it and with the limited editions of most music nowdays, it's money in the bank, especially dead music. There is money to be made from these kind of investments, one person I know does only that now, puts all up on ebay and makes a tidy profit, all from doing what they love, finding old classics and first issues of old records, clean them up a bit and resale. It's a good thing, a lot of these old original recordings would end up in a dumpster if not for what they do and I salute them for that, they are like the American pickers of the music world. Back in the day of 1.99 records, I would spend hours looking thru stacks of lp's, it was a blast. Next time you got a minute, check out ebay, look what they are getting for old tshirts and old bootleg cds and lps, first press cd's and out of print recordings, there is a gold mine out there in peoples garages and attics and most don't know what they have as far as music recordings and rock and roll memorabilia goes. Back in the day a lot of dead memorabilia was free, but as we all know, there aren't too many free rides left in this country. 4-9-91 is worth a relisten, that second set is smoking with a great foolish heart going into drums and a great TOO>wharf rat coming out of space. Not too bad for an added on show as the first 2 sold out in minutes, so they added the 9th.

Broken boxes

I have a few questions on the individual shows being sold on eBay. Does a seller make more selling shows individually? Seems like a lot of work if it's 30 different buyers at once too. By the amount of boxes being broken does that make the 30 trips box unbroken more valuable, being that there's less than 6,500 then? I have no problems with the secondary market, I would have never heard Pure Jerry full series without secondary market. I personally have no desire to sell my 30 Trips but my wife asked if I'd ever sell it and it was a easy no, but my only saving grace with my wife is I tell her my constant GD purchases will always hold value. I recently saw a 30 trips box start at $650 and sold for $1,080. That's holding value. To me, $300 profit isn't worth the " it's all about the music" because I like the the extras, my wife asked about me selling Winterland 73' box my reasoning was it has the lil good ol grateful dead pin, no way I'm selling.

@KateC

:) Wish I was a mormon I'd love you as a second wife....

Kate

Damn, I love your posts. I will never have that kind of wit, but it's fun to enjoy.

Wjonjd

You don't have 15 bucks......??? She's selling that wit for the price of 1 disc of my 3-disc shows (all for sale individually still folks as per my daily updates ;)

pre-order

it helps kate is georgeous and has a good swing...if I was Mormon i'd make her my 1st and only wife who needs another one.

Tony-is-Dead

Dude...clearly you ain't seen my wife then ;)

StStephen71 and Kate

See, there's that wit thing again. Edit: I had to see what would happen if tried to buy the Brooklyn Bridge, but my offer came back from the yahoo email server :(

Wjonjd

I can let you have her actual email address - but you'd need to buy a few of my individual shows remaining (and still for sale folks) first ;)

Offer

That's a great offer, Kate. But I bought the whole shebang already at half the price. It should all arrive tomorrow! Truly a life-changer. I feel younger and more optimistic already. And you are finally getting some marriage near-proposals, I see. This must be the worst dating site ever invented!

How and why did you receive a

How and why did you receive a shipping notice? Other people are saying that they've received a notice from UPS which means that UPS has a delivery date for "something". I'm confused. Help me.

My box just arrived!!!!

Postman at the door - so so excited - and pleased to report that YES after 2 weeks the David Bowie 5 years box has arrived from Germany ;)

@SS71

Not cool, man... I mean, that's probably a cool Bowie box.

Give it away for free!

Give it away.

update?

Saint Stephen sure post her picture we need to feminize this sight a little bit...I've seen kate's picture...very good looking and she likes the grateful dead so a very much in demand female far as a dating site goes...100 to 1

since 67 - Shipping notices for paid shipping?

I paid for shipping and received a notice through my UPS My Choice account that I have a 16 lb package coming tomorrow to Baltimore from Warner Music Group.

It's....

9:49pm here in Philly I just checked the tracking of the 16lbs., box of whatever from Warner Group at 8:34pm according to the tracking info provided it left Taylor, PA. wherever that is & is now en route ON TIME to shipping destination, the next time I track this package tomorrow morning the status will change to "OUT FOR DELIVERY". Now why I haven't I received a shipping notice from dead.net & why hasn't the order status changed from "backordered" TO "shipped"? Thank God the wife will be home tomorrow to receive it I wouldn't take to kindly to an $758.78 box set just "walking" off the front steps. Now I ask you kind folks out here in Deadland, what's going on?

On the Same UPS Truck

I wonder how many are on that UPS truck. I am 20 minutes from Philly and mine probably left on the same truck. Taylor, Pa is near Scranton about 2 hours from Philly. I only know that because I was curious and did a map quest lookup.

UPS/Big Box

Thanks for the info!

50th anniversary box set

i'm in philly so I should be getting mine tomorrow? holy Toledo cakes!!!!! If I remember correctly when the 1972 box was shipped there wasn't any notification it just showed up and when it did show up I didn't know what it was until I opened it because it was early from what the ship date was supposed to be

Taylor PA

As noted, right down the road from Scranton (grew up there) and just off the NE Extension so it should get to Philly ASAP.

video

wow! when did the unveiling video go up! it's really happening, WOOT! and I'm still headed to the 30 Trips altar wearing white!/peace, K Edit: holy cow! I just scrolled down....thought I felt my ears burning after logging off a bit ago...HEY: where are we all meeting to discuss these shows? I like the individual threads for each date in the archive "the archives" section .... someone made a GREAT suggestion that Dnet convert the show list on this page to interactive links!/peace redux, K Edit II: Okay, I've watched 3 times now and all can I say is, we need more of the Price-Is-Right-Unveiling-Box-Guy - he's a trip! It's like watching a silent movie with histrionic acting to compensate for the lack of vocals..."...and the winner of the WebOscar for Best Performance in a Deadnet short is..." Edit III: Just how the heck am I supposed to sleep now? Incidentally, watch the video in full screen. I see metal hinges, presumably secured in wood. Nice. And apparently large enough to hold a human head for you folks in New Jersey :O (sorry, I begin channeling Paulie Walnuts when giddy and fatigued - g'night)

FUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKK - the video - should i press play???

There's something I like about not seeing something in advance - I like to get the surprise for myself - the only video unboxing I ever watched was for the Queen Vinyl box because hey...its just vinyl and a book...but this....can I hold back..... It's like seeing Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman clothed - would you like to see someone else peeling her clothes off and looking on it or do it yourself..... That's it - I'm holding off!!

Box looks wicked cool

I was wondering how the box would look, after seeing the video I am psyched - looks awesome.

@Saintstephen1971

Wouldn't your video just be the empty box? :) Go on just watch a few seconds of it. You know you want to. @kate That guy is indeed great! I agree with you.

@ Chilly

Chilly - no (c'mon you walked into this one right?) - at the moment my box would STILL contain the following shows (all still for sale to anyone wanting individual shows at $45US per show - including postage) and the scroll, single and book (for individual sale): 68 78 80 82 83 86 90 92 93 94 95 Email me at gilmourstephen@hotmail.com

Hoping the shipping has begun.

Blew my left knee out & got cut on earlier today. Laid up listening to THE BOX will hopefully be this week's activities. Just the medicine I need!:)

@Saintstephen1971

I stand corrected. You are indeed right.

Shipped

Shipped ! Yippee !

Package arriving tomorrow in Hershey!

Got the UPS notice a couple hours ago. Christmas morning!

update?

Now we're here to discuss our most beautiful grateful dead member kate...I'm assuming 100% that the box will be here tomorrow I didn't know so many of us lived in the same area I figured most of you were west coast people...the video I watched they showed you the components and what it looks like the other one from 1972 tour was big I don't know where to put that thing 6 years later...no not 2009? was it? the 1990 box sets were also big but at least they were the same size...the book looks deeper than most box set type books...it's a lot to go through...I just hope it does come tomorrow...I believe the hype but there's always doubt until it happens...it's not like I have a tracking number to look at i'm just assuming it's right along with everybody else's.

Delivery

My box is on it's way to So. Ca. from Pa. according to UPS My Choice. Yes.

The box is shipping - so..is your glass half empty or half full?

It's a common question - is your glass half empty or half full? In my case, people like Chilly are asking me is my box half-empty or half-full. Well - I can tell you it's now only one-third full... the remaining shows left at 45US dollars per show (email me at gilmourstephen@hotmail.com) being: 68 78 80 82 83 86 90 92 93 94 95

Ooh!

A box unveiling video. Must watch now. edit - Wow! The book looks like the "Necronomicon Ex-Mortis" from the Evil Dead movies. The "Ain't it Crazy" soundtrack is appropriate. I'm selling the following items - $2.00 - 1 ball of pocket lint $2.50 - some pre-chewed bubble gum from under a bar stool $4.20 - 2 - 16 ounce tall boy cans of the last sip of warm Miller Light beer $0.50 - a bic lighter found in a parking lot that doesn't work $dollar-two-ninety-eight - botulism sandwich And the blue light special for the wadded up bag of used tissues from '69, '71 and '78

The un boxing of the box....

....I literally have goosebumps pondering if I should click the play tab....first world problems yet again....hmmmm ....the freeze frame shot shows it's smaller than I thought....hmmmm

Looks like digipacks....

....thank God. Too bad he didn't open the disc. Looks like one layer of packs. Plus hinges!!!! I love it!!! Except they left Bruce off the box....still awesome.... ....edit....it does have my name on it (Vince), so that's pretty cool....

sneak peep...

ok, i unthinking succumbed to temptation and watched it, and now i'm attempting to totally forget what i just saw so's to get the total thrill of unwrapping this glorious magical object and seeing it first with my own eyes - doh!

heyhey

i find the laser cutting / etching of the wood interesting, assuming they used this tool. maybe a 3d-printed sectionally hinged scaled model of barton hall for next years mega musical dollop delivery vehicle?

SNEAK PEEK

Must not look, must not look! I have only listened to the 7" single download, just read the email from deadnet that it is shipping, but lookup order shows still back ordered. Nice to be getting the extra ticket and backstage pass, as well as a chance to win the RIAA gold disc. Brookvale records are to be shipping Dick's Picks Volume 6 in glorious vinyl next month, bring it on home!

Grate news

Thanks to all involved for the original ticket and pass - great idea...... To celebrate I'm reducing the price of my individual shows to the LOWEST price i'll ever go - each show $43US by paypal - get in touch asap to reserve. Also if anyone wants 93 94 and 95 shows - 120 for the bunle email me gilmourstephen@hotmail.com remaining shows: 68 78 80 82 83 86 90 92 93 94 95

And Now a Word From Our Sponsor

Feeling tired of the same old routine? Bummed by the endless flow of bad news? In need of a vacation, or shall we say trip? Well, head on over to DeadNet. We've got it all. Shameless pleas from cash-grabbers! Unwelcome proposals! Rude flameouts over petty differences! It's entertainment at all times of night or day! Sign up now to receive approximately one "new" advertisement per hour. You won't want to miss this. I mean, clearly I stay glued to my MacBook just so I catch every electrifying development. Bonus: You can now stream a virtual opening of the largest CD set ever produced by DeadNet. It will have eBay buyers salivating and kicking themselves for not acting sooner. The time is now. The iron is hot. Sell, sell, sell! But seriously, I will not watch that video. And though I did sneak just a few audio streams, I cannot wait to listen to all 30 trips, in this order: 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 Oops, did that push the previous commercial off the screen? Sorry.

Unboxing video

So I'm not getting a case of way-over-priced beer after all. It's smaller than I thought and from what this teaser video shows, it's a unique design.

apologies for that interference - now back to the main programme

for those needy and grateful heads who cant afford the box and only want one or two shows - the LOWEST price i'll ever go - each show $43US by paypal (inc postage from oz) - get in touch asap to reserve. Also if anyone wants 93 94 and 95 shows - 120 for the bunle email me gilmourstephen@hotmail.com remaining shows: 68 78 80 82 83 86 90 92 93 94 95

Backorder still?

Does anybody else's still say backorder for delivery status?

Got the....

OFFICIAL shipping notice from dead.net at 3:44am EDT, PLUS the email contains an unveiling of the contents of the box & a contest to win a personalized scroll. So yes DEADLAND BOXZILLA is shipping!!!!!! UPS tracking info indicates that my box set is ON VEHICLE FOR DELIVERY TODAY. HAPPY THURSDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Countdown Revisited

0 days for some folks Either 1 day OR ? days OR worst case scenario, 24 days for others. The ideal thing is 0 days for ALL!!!!!

The Unveiling!

We've all waited patiently a seemingly very long time for this notification to arrive! Love the unboxing video despite it being a slight spoiler but even so this is a great day for us all! Shipping is imminent!

@Countdown

My order status still says Backordered, shipping by 10/31/15. Also, when I go to dead.net the home page comes up as plain text. I'm wondering if this is being caused by the increase in activity from overnight. I did get the email saying Boxzilla is shipping soon.

30 trips miracle

It's a nice touch. Thanks Dead.net! What, if anything are folks going to have inscribed on their scroll? I had my full name inscribed on my E72 box, and was thinking of maybe doing something different (probably not) with my scroll. I am curious what you all are going to go with.

I...

Have NOT listened to one note from the free stream, read one sentence from the free stream of the book nor will I view the unveiling video, BOXZILLA will be in my hands in a few hours I've waited since the day I preordered on June 24th what's a few hours, give or take? The wife will be home as she's still kind of out of it after spending 24 days in her homeland country of Kenya, she goes back to work Monday, she said she'll be glad to wait for the UPS guy/gal as she is tired of hearing me talk about it. Darling the wait is over well ALMOST over. Well time to go fight I-95 Southbound traffic, I'm working in Rittenhouse Square today, I MUST stay focused, don't want to paint a room the wrong color that would sort of take the fun out of a joyous Thursday now wouldn't it? HAPPY 30 TRIPS THURSDAY DEADLAND!!!!!!!!!

I have to admit....

...when he opened the lid, it kinda took my breath away... all those discs... ...chock full of yummy, plummy, jammy goodness- oh my.

30 Days box set on the way

According to my wife, who gets notifications of all UPS deliveries to the house, the box set from Warner Music Group is out for delivery this morning here in northern Virginia. Still have not received any official notification that it has shipped, a tracking order number, and the order status here on Dead.net still lists as back ordered. We'll see what's waiting when I get home from work this evening.
