"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.)

JUST IN CASE. Ha! I'm the same way. If I didn't have to leave during the day to go to work, I'd be camped out on the front porch the entire time, except for the times when I go check the back door ... just in case, since a FedEx package was dropped off there once.

Where's the box?

Emailed Deadnet yesterday got a very short reply, no tracking number issue means no boxes shipped yet and no date as to when they will ship... WTF?

me and my box

My box made it to the heart of dixie on 10/09 the 26th anniversary of my last show. I have not opened it yet. Tomorrow represents the completion of my 51st trip around the sun. I will open tomorrow and give an update. The UPS guy was on the ball, he pushed the SunStealie against the wall so the nosy neighbor could not see it. Thanks local UPS guy. Box looks in good shape. I had gone by the house at 5 pm on Friday, nothing. Went to visit the folks and check in on them. Got back to the house at 6:15 and there it was. I had given up on 10/09 as I too had no emails or communication. A little bit a backstory stuff. On August 7, 1995 I had just started grad school. On the 9th, after class, I went to the local mall in search of a Chick-Fil-A fix. As I am walking in their was a group of young hippies outside crying. Went I went in I saw that Jerry had passed. It made me look back but I was also starting a new future so I did not let it get me down. On October 2, 1995 I mailed a detailed letter of affection to a close female friend. On October 9 (7 days, 7 which means "complete") her name became a named storm which became a hurricane. Not to bore with details, the affection was rebuffed. So Friday, instead of opening the box, I listed to the last show that I attended. It sounded so good, and I got so incredibly torqued. As we rounded the corner into "Death Don't" through to "Attics" it dawned on me the dates. 20 years to the date that I mailed her the letter, we got the email saying last chance to update mailing address. Seven days later the box arrived on my doorstep. 26 years from my last show. The number of man being the difference in the dates. As I said, I had been so involved when Jerry passed with other parts of life I never really mourned Jerry. As I was torqued up and listening to Attics, all of the dates clicked in my mind and I lost it. Staring at just the nice shipping box and putting all this together I finally had all of that release of missing Jerry. How much he (and all the family) mean to my life. The death of love and the rose withering away. It all was just way more powerful than I could have expected. I don't know why there was a shipping delay from 9/18. All I know is that single day will go down as a truly epic day in my memory. Now tomorrow as I celebrate another year, and continue to move forward, I get to open this monster and bask in the glory of 50 years. Raise a glass to GOGD and all of my new friends on here! Salute! PS - I am going to try and upload a poor picture of 1987 Ventura Fairgrounds. It has the SunStealie as its Tapestry Backdrop.

RE: '67 setlist

I wouldn't put much stock into Deadbase having the correct dates/setlists for the early stuff. Deadlists has some interesting comments, from Jeff Tiedrich: Jeff Tiedrich: "There's a bit of a mystery here. The Alligator>Caution that appears on both the 11/10/67 and 11/11/67 tapes are identical -- even on the vault reels! it is unknown which of the two dates these songs belong to, but it's not unreasonable to presume that 11/10 is the original and 11/11 is the copy. The best explanation (read: speculation) is that someone copied the 11/10/67 Alligator>Caution onto the end of the 11/11/67 reels. The master reels for these two shows were not originally in the Dead's vault -- they were stored at Warner Brothers, which is presumably where all this mysterious copying took place." David Sorochty: "There is another Cryptical-->Other one--->Cryptical sequence on the Shrine '67 tapes currently listed as being from the 11/10/67 show, which definitely is not duplication of the other one (i.e. The 11/11/67 version). The two versions have slightly different lyrics. It is not duplication of any other version in circulation. Maybe they did play it both nights. If more information comes to light about this sequence and its correct date, then its status may change. This is another mystery about these tapes.

Later Shows

Jesus Christ, the 9/10/91 show smokes. Actually, all the shows from 89-91 have been great. Really great. I will need to re-listen to 85-88, I don't recall specifics (except the 87 Dew). The 89 show I was already very familiar with, and with the multi-track remixing, it sounds amazing on top of being a very intense show. 90 just cooked - I'm not taking notes, but I remember the China-Rider in particular was smokin', and Saint Of Circumstance (not one of my favorite tunes, normally) was fantastic. Oh, yeah, the Crazy Fingers, and Playing sandwich was top notch, too. But, 91 is playing now, Marsalis is mixed well, even though it's just two track, you can hear the crowd going NUTS in the background, and for good reason.

Mine just arrived Tix - 10/27/91 - Oakland Col BSP - 6/9/93 - Auburn Hill, Michigan Box condition ok, but I can see where people are complaining about delamination. I think a little wood glue would work on mine and painters tape for a clamp. I will try the glue, but on the same note, once I suck in all the disc I will not be touching the thing, well almost never. The book is a little cheap, cover a little flimsy, and maybe not attached to the book very well. Scroll is a cute idea, leather throng will suck to retie. Scroll not very useful unless you work to get the curl out of it. Might be worth framing. I have no gripes about the cd cases, they will be handled once and will survive. All in all it nice, in the end the cd's are what you really want and price per disc is acceptable. I haven't checked the disc to see if they're all there, will find out when I suck them in. Will be using two computers for sucking so shouldn't take long. I had a red lining. The whole unit has a nice heft to it, feels like 700 bucks of weight. :-) You know what really would have pushed this over the top, a little music box device to play maybe a little refrain from ripple or something. Maybe a little cheesy, but a good chuckle.

I constantly check the door. Even though It's not supposed to hit Portland before Weds and my tracking info has no update since Friday when it departed from IL, I still check the porch... JUST IN CASE.

Mr. Jack Straw / '67 Show

Did you happen to see my post regarding this show? I'm asking because you might be able to shed some light on it for me. I've already sent an email to vault.com. In any case it would appear (at least to Deadbase50) that the front half ('Viola' to 'Schoolgirl') is from 11/10/67 while the back half ('That's It For The Other One' to 'Caution') is from 11/11/67. Check your Deadbase if you have one and let me know your opinion.

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

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
