"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.)

Finally it has rocked up

Have been waiting all day today and it has arrived. But since my wife actually purchased this box for my birthday/Christmas I will wait till she gets home to open it. Maybe.....

TOS Violation

Sorry, but I have to agree with saintstephen 1971. A Clear violation of the TOS. Granted it is only one post, but still, one is too many. Fair is fair people.

Wow!

Thanks to all who have sent me private messages for your kind words and support! Very awesome. There are more than messages than I have time to reply to at this moment, but want to express my appreciation for your support. We all love this band and the vast majority of folks are respectful to them as well as those who work for them, by simply being honest and not taking or giving away something that legally doesn't belong to them. By showing simple respect and courtesy to tptb, both here in their house, and elsewhere, we as fans can continue to look forward to many years of new releases by tptb. Often times, doing the RIGHT thing isn't popular in certain circles. Doing the right thing, being honest and being respectful yields the greatest rewards in life. Thank you again! There are many many awesome people here.

Should your betrothed come out with a losing hand trying to procure the pearls, harp, and diamond ring, would you be true to his dying day...or find another sweet man to treat you with style? The eight-sided whispering hallelujah hat rack is the true grail here. I do hope you'd be willing to share it, though, should my quest prove successful ~ two of the eight sides is my only supplication (that's how many hats I actually wear of the myriad ones perpetually tumbling over each other atop my coat rack).

Damaged disks

I finally finished burning all of the disks except for the 2 I received that had big cracks in them. As I figured they were unreadable and just made that tell-tale clicking/grinding noise. Disk 1 of the 75’ show and disk 2 of the 94’ show. The cracks were almost identical in length going from the inside outward. I wanted to burn them all to make sure none of the others had any issues before I contacted customer service. Just got off the phone with cs and I have officially been put on the Dr. Rhino shit be messed up list. I was told that I would be contacted via email within a couple of weeks. Amy said they were compiling a list of all the issues being reported. I haven’t seen anyone report here that they had any issues with their cases. I guess there was one person who said they had a spine splice. I don’t have that but about 9 of my cases had some smudging/spotting/smearing. Some just had a few minor spots but 2 or 3 had quite a few spots front and back. Is anyone else seeing this? I didn’t report it to customer service but when the good dr. reaches out I may ask for some replacements. Normally I wouldn’t bother but since they will be sending me 2 disks anyway it won’t hurt them any to toss in some empty cases.

box art

Apparently I wasn't sharp enough to realize that one of the moons on the box lid was a new moon. Thanks for setting me straight, Jeffsmith. Kind of cool how the names of the earliest band members start in "Spring." It would have been nice if Keith and Donna's names were together on the same side of the box but Keith and TC are the only names on the "Fall" side and they each joined the band in the Fall. Coincidence, or was that planned? Also, I'm a little surprised Bruce's name is not on the box. He was a member for about as long as TC. It's not a big deal but I'm curious about how that decision was made. Listened to the '84 show the last two nights and it sounds great. I'm really enjoying skipping around and taking my time with the shows.

Europe 72 Book, Box arrivals & Defective Boxes . . .

Thanks to Alain, JimInMD, antonjo & Born Cross Eyed for giving me your opinions on the Europe 72 Book. Sounds like everyone thinks it's a good one. Now I just have to find one. I missed out on the Trunk and have the music only edition. Glad to hear the Boxes are showing up around the World. Feeling for those who have not received theirs yet. Your patience is being tested "Grately", but hopefully it is just around the corner. So far, I've not been contacted by anyone from Dead.net or Rhino, with a resolution for the "name panel" error on my 30 Trips Box (it has 2 "T.C. Keith" panels and no "Jerry Bob Pig" panel). Have others with damage/defective Boxes received any definitive resolution to their Box issues? If so, from whom did the resolution come?

He can be reached at: drrhino@rhino.com. I was missing Disc #2 from the '75 show and he addressed the problem immediately. Good Luck.

So very nice

So so nice that we can finally put to rest that nasty rumor about the packaging -- it's not 80 discs in a zip-lok baggie after all!!

The Unveiling

Yeah.. I almost watched it. Stopped right after he opened the bottom to put the book back. I would rather undress this beauty myself, not watch someone else do it.

not shipping!

well it ain't shipping if you are an international customer and we are the ones who actually have to pay postage on this plus Rhino won't do (I asked) what they did with E72 steamer trunk and charge the customs upfront via UPS (who will happily do this) so that means when Rhino are finally bothered to send the last ones out it will sit in customs for week + I didn't mind the delay to box itself as they got it "just exactly perfect" but I really do mind paying more and then be stuck at the end of the line - this will be Rhino's doing not dead.net as before Rhino took over the dead operation treated international customers very well oh and before you say it is because I ordered it late I ordered this in the first 30 minutes of it being available sorry I just hate such blatant unfairness...

Aw, shucks lgreen!

lgreen: "sorry I just hate such blatant unfairness..." Did you make it to adulthood still thinking the world is fair? If you live a billion miles away from Rhino vs next door, it's going to take longer, and cost more, to get it to you. What isn't obvious about that?

One man!!

Bravo one man! Bravo.....well done......l.

Aw, shucks America first

I know it doesn't take as long to send something from California to Oregon than it does to send to England - but that process takes even longer if you send all the nearby (i.e. American orders out first) and only then send out the order to further away... also I (like all international purchasers) pay postage which was free in continental America - so the unfairness is the prioritisation of the American orders and that is "blatant unfairness"... anyway thank you for your kind message rbmumkin

even more Aw, shucks

According to an email from "customer services" which says "I'm looking at your order and it appears to be shipping around or about the middle of November. " I assume that is a mistake but who knows

if it makes you feel better

This American hasn't gotten a shipping notice.

ROCK & ROLL HOOCHIE KOO!!!!!! BOXZILLA HAS LANDED IN PHILADEPHIA

JUST GOT IT!!! Dancing In The Street In Northeast Philadelphia PA USA!!!!! It's Fucking Beatiful! Yes YES YES !!!!! Now regarding The "MIRACLE SCROLL"-> NOT Seeing Anything on the scroll that says MIRACLE on It! So if anyone gets a "MIRACLE" Scroll, PLEASE, PLEASE tell me WHERE IT SAYS MIRACLE ON THE SCROLL. How do you know you got a Miracle scroll? Where does It Say MIRACLE? (Also, I personally think it is Not Fair that some people will get a miracle scroll and others who PAID just as much as everyone else will not get a "MIRACLE" Scroll.) WE ALL SHOULD GET A PLAQUE NOT JUST A CHOSEN FEW! -> BOGUS! Whatever!!! I AM SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!! UPDATE TO MIRACLE SCROLL. Miracle Scroll E-MAIL States that if your SCROLL IS NOT NUMBERED-> YOU ARE A PLAQUE WINNER!!! So I answered my own question. I am probably too excited! Also, I did not get a receipt in the box. Anybody get a physical receipt included?

Shhhhhh!

That bogan in Australia is asleep. Everyone PM MaryE with a request that he be banned for his commercial activities!

One has to hope...

that our antipodean nemesis is not sleeping but hibernating for the next few months. Maybe he should get his own thread where he can continue endlessly posting the same message and where we don't have to be continually subjected to it. Is he not aware of the fact that if you post this sort of thing on eBay you only have to do it once as opposed to once every few hours.

Rhino hates Europeans

A second email from "Customer services" my box won't be dispatching till mid November so I guess that is true for all international orders... I will carefully restrain what I say to suggest this shows contempt for many people who love the Dead and pay [more] for these releases... I've tried emailing drrhino but nothing MaryE is there nothing that the real Dead.net can do?

Anyone get an actual shipping

Anyone get an actual shipping notice from dead.net? Or just UPS notices? Also, is anyone outside NC, VA, PA, MD, DE area receiving notices?

Rhino loves Europeans

I got a mail from Dead.net today and it says: "We are pleased to inform you that the beautiful sold out 30 TRIPS AROUND THE SUN boxed sets are beginning to ship (yep, finally)!" and furthermore: "You will receive shipment confirmation email with a tracking number separately, once your order has left the warehouse." I live in Europe and it don't say nuthin' about November. Also, when it was ordered makes absolutely no difference to when it ships. Igreen - maybe Customer Service have taken umbridge at your bad attitude and have singled you out for special treatment. Just sayin', as our American friends like to say.

#2660 has landed in Illinois !!!!!!!

WOW. Everything is lavish. Solid wood with metal hinges. Red felt covered cubby holes on the bottom for the book and the scroll. The book's cover appears to be leather but even if it's faux leather, it's thick and has a skeleton and roses pressed into it on both sides. The two halves of the book have the pages reversed, so the historical essay half faces one way, then you flip it over to read the half with all the deadhead stories. The lid opens in which the 30 digipaks are lovingly caressed into cubby holes that hold groups of five digipaks each. Each show has its liner notes, tracks with timings, photos of newspaper clippings or band shots, etc, with a basic track list on the back. Nice thick gold 45 has its own sleeve on the inside of top cover. The box itself, with all its artwork is very cool. I will leave it to the more talented to describe and/or analyze the Deadland artwork itself. Oh, a ticket and backstage pass were placed inside the book. Unlike the ones in the 1990 boxes, these are NOT repros. These are original authentic tickets and backstage passes from their archives. My ticket is for 10/30/91 and pass from 6/21/93. The scroll, tied with a small leather strap, is quite long. It lists every song played (or close to it - I don't know what the parameters were for inclusion) and shows what years it was played in (with easily seen gaps). It is in chronological order, so songs played in 1965 are listed first, etc. At the top of your scroll is your box #. I think this is where it would say miracle if you got one. This is quite miracle enough for me. Thank you Deadland!!!!!!!

rhino should clarify their response to Europeans

Simonrob I got the same email you mention but that doesn't say when they plan to ship - I am not suggesting Europeans get special treatment just that they/international customers shouldn't have to wait 6 to 8 weeks longer than American customers... if it were the other way round and there were all being dispatched overseas and not to US there would be a ton of outrage!

Rick Derringer?

Rick is indeed an incredible guitarist...love Hoochie Koo, who can't love the raw rocknroll. Hang on Snoopy uh I mean Sloopy...nice I must have been a bad boy for the 50th...still no shipping email. That is alright. As I said yesterday I have had stuff arrive before the email. So no big deal. It would have been nice to track so that I could be home to ensure it isn't stolen. Because of the delay I had to cancel a Trip to the beach...boohoo. On the best of the bright side, maybe I will get mine tomorrow. The 26th anniversary of my last show. Also arriving within the week are Winterland 73, the 50th Anniversary of the Complete Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics. Might not be around here as much; I know that upsets many...Also pre-ordered Blair's book "This is all a dream" which won't be here until November. Some great posts the last 15 hours or so...As far as today and tomorrow, think I will revisit the box with my last shows. Have only made it through a 3rd of E72, wanted to be at the halfway point. Thanks to Kate I picked up 3 DP's last week. Listened to (Number 9, number 9, number 9) Madison Square Garden Sept. 1990 last weekend. It was much better than I was expecting. Got pretty darn spacey during No MSG Jam into drums. Also got number 11 from 1972 and it was good as well. Way too much to absorb, I might have an official release stroke...

No shipping notice here yet.

Got the email about the Miracle scroll. All well and good, but I want my box already!!!!

Shipping to Europe

It normally takes two or two and a half weeks for me to receive orders shipped by Dead.net, not 6 to 8 weeks longer than American customers. What exactly should be clarified?

Shipping to Europe

Yes Simonrob I know it takes 2 weeks longer normally (for a Dave's Picks or similar) but what Customer Services are suggesting - which is what I am saying is unfair - is that they are not sending out all 6500 Boxes at the same time but have staggered it so that the American ones have already started dispatching (and being received) and the overseas ones (or at least some European ones) will go much later - presumably this is because they haven't assembled all 6500 boxes yet and/or the price of dispatch overseas is more than they thought and so have cut the cheapest deal they could which means we wait I don't think there is anything wrong in expecting all paying customers to be treated equally which plainly is not happening here... I am particularly surprised that a fellow overseas customer clearly thinks I am making too much of this...

Magic scroll

Oh and if someone overseas whose box isn't dispatched till mid November happens to have one of the 78 magic scrolls it will be too late to claim their gold record!

Shipping much later to Europe?

I just don't understand where you get the idea that boxes will be shipped to European customers "much later" than to American customers, or indeed that European shipments will occur in mid-November. I have not seen this stated, or even alluded to, anywhere. That not all 6500 boxes are being shipped at the same instant is not really surprising and I have no reason to have any negative feelings or expectations. I would imagine that it would take a few days for all the boxes to ship.

Has anyone gotten the USB yet?

I hear that the boxes have been shipped out, and some peeps even got it already. That is great to hear. Any word on the USB?

Are the CDs sealed in plastic wrap?

Shipping much later to Europe?

Simonrob, I asked Customer Services when my box would ship and they emailed to say: "I'm looking at your order and it appears to be shipping around or about the middle of November. " I assumed this was a mistyping so I asked them to confirm and they said: "I apologize for the inconvenience, but from our records it will not ship until the date that I sent you and I am very sorry for this. I'm also a music lover and I know how disappointed you must be, but we need to receive more from the manufacturer. Sir, at this point the product is sold out. If we get it in sooner than we will send it to you. Thank you for your patience and understanding." Thus I posted on here and - reasonably I think - reckon this is pretty shoddy!

UnBox Cutter

Kate I agree, what an infectious grin that guy in the unboxing video has. At least, I thought so, until I noticed the box cutter stashed in his shirt.

@Minas

No, they CD's are not sealed in plastic wrap. That would have been odd, though, don't you think?

Claney, Kate Boxcutter

LOL You know, a few of you, like Claney, Kate, Dantian, JimInMD (I'm sure there are a few others I should include) should be able to put an act together and go on the road. Dead Comic Crew.

Packaging

Very happy here - the box is a nice manageable size, and the individual show packages look perfect. And the ticket, pass - super nice touch. Some of the backstage passes I've seen are frame-able for sure. Can't wait. EDIT: Aw shucks wjon, thanks! I'll be here all week.

@wjonjd

I don't know, I didn't get the Europe '72 box, but I bought them individually and they were sealed, so I don't know what to expect. I'm selling my 80s and 90s so am curious if they're sealed. Thanks wjonjd, appreciate the feedback.

It's Here!!

I'm only 40 miles from Taylor, Pa. the box got here before the shipping email. Thank You!

@Minas

Oh, I didn't realize that about the E72 shows. I got the trunk, and they were not sealed. Hope you don't have to wait too long! This thing is freaking beautiful.

Box Bandits

For those of you who are concerned about not being home when the box arrives and having it stolen off your porch.. I can't imagine any shipping company, UPS, FEDEX, or USPS would drop a $700 package without requiring a signature.. right?

Sorry Profiteers..

Looks like you scalpers will have unsealed products to send out. Muah muah.

Nothing Left To Do But Smile, Smile, Smile

#0956 has arrived,never received a shipping email. Wasn't expecting it today nice Lil surprise. Beautiful box.

Anticipation

Ok....now seeing some luckies having received Boxzilla I can't help but wish upon that (Dark) Star...but up here in MA and no official "It's Shipped" email yet but also they have a flair for sending stuff out first and getting shipping notices after receipt. I need the 'stoop camera' to check my stoop!!! Cheers to those who have received, today is a magic day. EDIT: Negatory on stoop-age....fingers crossed for tomorrow as we head into a long weekend...here's to hoping!

Question for those who have received

Are there liner notes for the individual shows?

Left Coast

Are any of you lucky recipients on the West Coast?

YES!

Just received mine in Maryland. No shipping email after the one from dead.net. No signature required.

Receiving boxes before being told they shipped?

Wow, ok, now I can't wait to get home from work! Just my luck I'll keep having to wait. I live in Los Angeles you'd think we'd be one of the first to get the thing! Been an extremely rough couple of days, I could use a Miracle right about now!

email

Received the email everybody is talking about, though it still says backordered in my order status. Mail hasn't arrived here yet, so hopefully today will be the day. The following items are for sale for those who only want half: 1 half fresh pile of toenail clipping with bonus mung 1 half pair of holy underwear worn circa 1998-2002 1 old shoe 1 half of a coffee filter half filled with still wet grounds and bonus half egg shells in deluxe paper bag 1 half of a brown and black banana peel - fruit flies are extra

I call dibs on the shoe..

i'm missing one. Is it for the left or the right foot?

@Judysparty

Thanks for confirming what I thought, some people are never satisfied! I guess if you won a new car you would complain that the gas tank was not full Rock on

The Grand Tsetse

Hey Spacebro, the fruit flies are spoken for. Please adjust this for future postings, Thanks.

Shipping Company?

For those that have already received their box, what type of shipping was used? I am just praying that its not UPS mail innovations or FedEx smartpost. It takes about 3 weeks for anything shipped that way to get to me here in Alaska. Thanks!

It's here

Mine arrived in Cumberland, MD. It was shipped by ups ground. My 9/10/91 case is a lil smashed on the corner but rather than that, all looks good!! I can't seem to find the issue number on the box....

Size?

Could someone who has received the box take out a tape measure and give us the outside dimensions of the box? I am trying to plan where I will be displaying this. Rock on

# 1042

Has arrived in Philly!!! It's WOOD and the wood is GOOD!!!!! The limited number is on the scroll. It's a beautiful box set TPTB have truly out done themselves, way way beyond any of my expectations. A GRATE way to celebrate the only the band that does what they do, did what they did & still are a very important of MY life, the GRATEFUL DEAD!!!!!! To: EVERYONE who made this happen, THANKS YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!!!

I take it all back - thanks Dr Rhino

Just had an email from Dr Rhino and international orders are shipping tomorrow... so I can go back to counting down till it arrives Suddenly the day seems so much better

To all the people receiving their copy of boxzilla....

.....Bastards! :-) Can only hope mine is on the way, no word yet :-(
