"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.

"Downloading officially

"Downloading officially released material for free from a torrent sight is stealing and a crime. Encouraging that activity openly is not wise and disrespectful to Dave, Mark and everybody in the organization." 1. Once the release is sold out and no longer available, there is absolutely no downside to the organization. They will have maxed out on their profits unless they release individual shows or press more boxes, which is of course likely. Torrent sites exist and the official releases have been on there for years, yet they still sell out quickly and often. Nevertheless, even if you want to stay on the right side of the torrent issue . . . 2. Mentioning the existence of torrents and how releases creep around after release by way of torrents is a statement of fact, just like saying there is child abuse, sexual assault and corruption going on in the world. It is not an endorsement or encouragement of the practice, just a statement. Also, torrents are tracked on sites not "sights." 3. Unless you have never partaken in an illegal drug, driven over the speed limit or broken any other law, kindly stay off the high road on "criminal" accusations. As any good televangelist or scandalized Republican Congressman can tell you, it is a far fall off the shoulder of that road particularly if you have been grandstanding on your soapbox. 4. I have bought every box set except E72. Have subscribed or purchased every Dick's Picks, vault release, Daves Picks and Road Trips. My respect and support for what Dave and the group does is about as high as it can possibly get and the mere mention of accessibility to other means to dantian does not minimize that.

"Really silly and totally ridiculous asking price"

The asking price is perfectly reasonable for the amount of music being provided. It is far from ridiculous. As it stands the financial hit on a credit card is one that is not realized until your statement for September 2015 charges which is likely not payable until mid October or possibly early November 2015. Which effectively gives people 4-5 months to drum up the money assuming you want to pay the total price off immediately on the next billing cycle and not incur interest. If incurring interest is not a problem it goes beyond that time frame. Either way, not dramatically different from your 6 month window proposal. I sympathize and feel for anyone who cannot afford this for whatever reason. But the asking price is reasonable and in complete harmony with every other Dave's Pick, vault Release and box set the past 5-6 years when you factor in cost per disc.

Shipping these USPS or UPS is no sweat off their backs

I would suspect any cost Rhino takes on for the shipping is no where near $200,000. And whatever the cost is for shipping, I think it's about $100,000 to push all these sets out. The fans buying them are most likely paying for it any way because I would think it's already hidden in the cost of the box set. The rates for shipping for GDM purchase are not so great to begin with. I would imagine the contract they signed has something to with that. And the simple fact is almost every company will jump at the chance to offer a free shipping or upgraded shipping as an appeasement. So the majority of folks who experienced processing errors placing a pre-order would have been offered free shipping due to the malfunctioning site. To have a debit card blocked for numerous days and to be offered free shipping on an item with free shipping is showing a complete lack of understanding for what is going on, thanks CS center at the management level. The free shipping is a nice gesture for pre-orders and I would guess that was offered instead of something that has collectible value. because a lot of folks down the road that miss out on any Bonus Disc from Dead.net will be knocking on GDM door for the elusive early pre-order collectible. But who remembers Free SGS and is gonna call about missing out on free shipping. I bring this up because at the top of FAQ is the topic of how can I get a bonus even though I didn't purchase while bonus were being given. And after the last Dave's shipment that folks were saying they ordered a la carte and got the bonus. Or ordered the subscription and didn't get the bonus. And we all know the bonus disc thing isn't true for all releases because Road Trips 77 is still passing out the bonus disc when shipped by dead.net. What's the deal with that ??

For what its worth I placed 5

For what its worth I placed 5 orders amid the chaos yesterday. The first 4 were hung up for hours and the 5th went through right away. I only got confirmation for that 5th one. I called customer service and they said I in fact only had that 1 order, so if you did place multiple orders you may or may not actually have multiple even if they preauthed every one like they did for me.

Number Puchased

Enter a number in the "Quantity" box at the top of the page and click "Add To Cart". The shopping cart page will say "we're sorry but the quantity exceeds our available inventory" if you tried to order more than they have. Theoretically. No guarantee that their widget is accurate.

Re: DJMac520

True that. That job description made my dream job seem a complete nightmare! I can't see there being a second box set this year. Throwing out a second box after a $700 one just seems cruel! Now, two more reasonable boxes next year? I'm all in!

If sold out late today no biggie!

Firstly It should have been marketed 3 separate Vol spaced over 6 or 7 month period. 1965-1975, 1976-1985 And 1986-1995!Could have been more affordable for majority of dead Fans. I believe poorly planned later years I never really listen to anyway but could have afforded $260 for Each of 3 Vol overtime. Box Book separate. I'm a big record collector and have most all dead net/ rhino previous box sets . Sorry $750 can go a long way on new big screen tv, Summer weekend Vacation etc. Really silly and totally ridiculous asking price. That is unless you eat breath and live with the Dead 24-7!!! One last thing I saw posted on Facebook regarding this 50th. The kid posted quote " wow 80 cd's and that's just 3 songs"!! Lol. For those few who purchased and silly ltd quantities 6500, geez just enjoy! Wolfeman

An aging hippie's two cents

In 2005 without warning, the 10-cd Fillmore West 69 box was released for the equivalent of $100 in 2015. Not being able to afford it then, I missed out. I ended up 2 years ago fortunate enough to buy #00012 for $500 from a greater Dead family member on eBay who really needed the cash. Ten years later with 3 months notice this 80-cd box including a 288-page book and other goodies is being released for $700. I've been preparing for an offering of this size since the much derided 50th anniversary countdown began. And I have until October before having to pay for it. I empathize with those of you who can't afford this box. I know. I've been there. But after having lived through this long cosmic journey I really can't relate to all the vitriol being poured out on this thread from some others. I would have loved for Shrine 11/11/67 to also have been included in this box. But I've been waiting nigh on 48 years for it and other sixties shows which helped enrich my late teenage years, so what's a few more years of waiting in the grand scheme of things? And if I die before they're released I sincerely doubt that at that time it will be of much concern to me. Thanks Dave & Co. for all you do. What a long strange trip it is.

@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.
