"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.

I wouldn't mess with Jim, if I were you. He's now a part of Bolo's black ops crew...one phone call and your USB will be filled with a 128GB-long montage of Donna's PITB wails.

Re: Ripple

My DeadBase only goes to '92, but they only played Ripple 39 times total. And the only years they played it more than once were 1970 (6 times, all acoustic sets), 1971 (4 times, electric), and 1980 (27 times, all acoustic). It was also played once in 1981 (acoustic) and then once in 1988 (electric, 9/3/88, Cap Centre, MD). Once there were no acoustic sets (1970 or 1980), it was basically a done deal. Of the 39 versions (pre FTW), five have been released before. 3 from 1980 (one on Reckoning, another one on the Beyond Description re-release of Reckoning (2 CDs), and the one on video on Dead Ahead). The only electric version out there is the 4/29/71 from Ladies and Gentleman. And of course there is the FTW version. Still, 4/39 from Jerry-era. FWIW, I'd have made 9/3/88 my selection for the Box. '88 gets next to no love, but that was a great show. LTGTR, Stranger > Franklin's to open (no Stranger > Franklin's on any live release (the Dead Set one are from 2 different shows). Box of Rain to open the 2nd set, Dew to close it. Ripple the 2nd encore. The other good option for a Ripple (if you weren't going to release something that had been partially released before, 4/29/71), was to do an acoustic show from 1980, or, the legendary 9/20/70 Fillmore East show (I'd have gone that way). Yes, no acoustic sets ('70 or '80) was a big disappointment for me, and no Ripple is a big reason why). Thought 9/3/88 would be a real candidate. But I knew from the Dates there were no acoustic so it kind of softened the blow. I don't think they thought macro level, only micro (a good show for that year) and let the chips fall where they may. It worked well for the most part, but a tad more macro thinking would have been better.

Feel sad for the USB folks

You guys have a definite beef. FWIW, I once called BBB in a cell phone dispute and the next time I talked to them, they were much more receptive and saw things my way (they tried to charge me a full month's bill when I switched carriers mid-month, a clear no-no). So I wouldn't feel bad about using them. Good companies will take pride in resolving disputes. Having a dispute/complaint isn't a real problem for any company, that will happen. Not resolving them properly IS a problem. Don't feel like you narcing (sic) on the family by going to BBB, you aren't. As long as it gets resolved, as it should, it won't be a problem for Rhino. As for the Box, it might make you guys feel a tad better, I have the physical box but have only gotten half-way through. And here would be my recommendations for listening (not like I'm an expert or anything, just something I've found going through the first 15). 1) Go in chronological order. Though there is some song clustering that can get a bit tiresome when a song appears 3 years in a row or for 4 of 5, for the most part there are differences there (different songs into or out of, set placement, or differences in how it was played) that make it kind of neat to compare and show the progressions of the song, the sound, and the band. 2) Don't look at the lists until you've listened to it at least once. Makes you feel more present. Like having the anticipation of what comes next. Also, while I love Dave's little notes on each concert, I kind of like to listen to it myself and form my own opinions first, and then see how mine match up with his. Or the review article or set list notes if they are there. Sometimes I miss stuff. Which leads me to 3) Listen to them at least twice before moving on. Or, alternatively, listen to a couple in a row and then go back through them. You really start to get the flavor for each year better that way. At least I did. Subtle differences become more apparent. Anyway, for all the USB folks, I hope when this all gets sorted and your music gets to you'll be pretty satisfied from a musical perspective. I certainly am. A few nits can be picked, but all the shows so far are pretty strong in my book (though some years they could have picked some heavyweights and didn't, no acoustic sets). Still, I wouldn't consider the Cobo '76 show a legendary one, but it was certainly fantastic. Ditto the '78 I'm re-listening to now, it is really good. And the '77, while not Ithica or War Memorial good, is still very well played and has a cool set list. Hope you guys don't get too mad if I continue to post about the music in the thread.

I disagree

It looks personal to me. If it walks and talks like a duck... Slamming rhino, or CS, or dead.net or whatever, fine and dandy, and the USB folks certainly have the right AND a just cause to vent in the harshest terms and to their hearts content about this. But, venting at someone who has done nothing but posted opinions and posted them politely and respectfully AND is clearly sympathetic even to the harshest venters - to respond with STFU?? Well, unless the moderator deletes it you have the right to post whatever you want, but, imo, it's uncool, uncalled for, and looks EXACTLY like the posts you'd see on a news article about politics with posters calling each other libtards and repukes, etc., and it gives me the feeling the poster deserves about as much respect and consideration as i'd give those folks. JimInMd, i read your posts and there is nothing in any of them that ANY deadhead i've ever known would respond to with STFU. I hope what that guy wrote didn't bother you a bit, cause it shouldn't, except to feel some pity for him. I'm sure you know what i mean.

USB

Dude77 I was just asking him and the other "positive" people to let us negs have a outlet. It's not like this MB matters one way or the other. Nobody is reading this stuff but us. STFU is the word. Let people be negative and vent. It won't hurt anything. I wasn't going at him personal and told him as much. Any other advice or life lessons? I'm still waiting for the PM from someone who is willing to send me their box set and wait for the USB. Are you my hero?

Wow, Huskerwing..

Slight over reaction on your part. It really didn't sound like Jim was knocking you in any way. In fact he appeared to feel sympathetic towards your situation. All of us with the box certainly feel bad for the people (well, almost all of them) who purchased the USB. It's a crappy situation. People deserve answers. Telling others on this forum to STFU if we have an opinion or something to say about it is not cool.

What to do?

Can't speak for anyone else, but what I what would hope Rhino would do is give us an honest explanation, and an honest expectation of resolution. And then update as appropriate. Which they simply have not done (anyone who thinks two pieces of info in 75 days, neither of which turned out accurate is enough, well, you just have different definitions of what is reasonable than me). But I think it is the baseline minimum. Not as if I am actually ranting or asking for something outrageous.

Re: Across the Rio Grandeo

Nope.. I avoided the military, they wouldn't accept me because I could not write without typo's and bad grammar :D I agree that this is a fiasco.. but I think time is the remedy, or you could cancel if you like (and then re-order if you change your mind). That is why I don't think the BBB is going to be much help. If you ask for a refund you will get it. So what exactly are we asking them to do?

@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.
