"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.)

Way Back

Going back a few topics because I just woke up.. I also listened to the '79 from boxzilla last night at work.. that's the "'79 Trip" i was referring to when addressing keithfan's playlist. Reading it again, I realize it might have been interpreted as the '79 Road Trip.. which I've never heard. I did, however, forget to put the third disc of the '79 show on my phone, so I only got to hear 2/3 of that show last night... D'oh!

Woe is USme

Waiting for the stick, I feel your pain with lack of communication. On the other hand, when I check my order on the site, it still says backordered expected ship date 10/31/15. So maybe they think that is sufficient in the communication department, only they undermined themselves by getting a lot of boxes out to people earlier than what I understand the check order info had on the site for the boxes. Halloween is only 8 days away now. But if Dave's 16 arrives before the stick, I would consider that a rather large fail on the part of friends here. PATIENCE, n. A minor form of despair, disguised as a virtue. ~Ambrose Bierce (1842 - ?)

Liner notes off on a couple Boxzilla...'66, '68, '75.

A couple small nits from the 1st third of the big box, a couple small errors in the lists/notes. For, 1966 they claim Minglewood as a GD song when it is most definitely a cover, be it Noah Lewis or Cannon's Jug Stompers/Traditional. For 1969, they list Disc 2 as track 2. St. Stephen > 3. The Eleven Jam. It's clearly the full Eleven. The lyrics actually start on track 2, then there is a jam at the start of track 3, and then more Eleven lyrics in that track, before going into Lovelight. For 1975, no attribution to Matt Kelly on harmonica on Music Never Stopped and BIODTL and he can clearly be heard. Just some small stuff, but errors for certain. No detraction from the enjoyment to be sure, but claiming a cover as yours and not crediting another musician who played on the tracks are certainly mistakes of a sort.

Shipping,

FWIW, I also got charged the full amount well before the Box shipped. I got the delay email, then in September got charged anyway, with no real notification of when it would ship. A couple days before it arrived I did get a 'your order has shipped' email from GD site. Don't know if this matches other people who got the box or not, but just wanted to let you know this charged/no idea when shipping thing happened to people who got the box as well. It was probably 3 weeks or so from the charge to the arrival.

Original recording by:

The discussion here got me to wondering, so I went through Boxzilla and here is how the credits for recording breakdown: Rex Jackson = 1 - '71 Kidd Candelario = 2 - '73, '74 John Cutler = 3 = '89, '94, '95 Betty Cantor-Jackson = 3 - '75, '77, '78 Bear = 4 - '66, '69, '70, '72 Dan Healy = 16 - '67, '76, '79, '80, '81, '82, '83, '84, '85, '86, '87, '88, '90, '91, '92, '93 The '68 show is credited to the Grateful Dead Thems the facts so make of them what you will Rock on

my 2 cents

I ordered the USB. No word yet. When I got the ‘delay’ email in September, I figured, well OK I waited this long, what’s the difference. But I got charged the $700 and now have no surety when it will get shipped. Getting charged with no transparency as to why/when is what bugs me. The people on the phone are nice, but by what they say they think the streaming link should keep me satisfied. I’m not set up for streaming on my main system. That may sound odd for someone who ordered the USB, but that’s the way it is. So a bit of a downer for something that I was on the fence about ordering anyway…. On a better note, the best Donna harmonizing I know is UJB 5-19-77. Done really well.

72 cha cha cha changes....

72 is a very diverse year with many different sounding incarnations. The fall of 72 is perhaps the absolute apex of this great band. They are firing on all cylinders and just killing it night after night. Some of my all time favorite shows are from the fall of 72. Dick's picks 11,23 and 36 are insanely good. Dave's 11 is otherworldly, The Hofheinz PITB, I could go on and on. It's my favorite tour. Contrast that with the insanely dialed in band that took Europe by storm and put down one of the best runs any group has ever had or ever will have. Totally different sounding band with PIG still layin it down and providing organ and harmonica. ANY show from the fall of 72 has my immediate attention! HA. I didn't get the box but I would love to hear the 72 show from it one day.

Gary Kind of Wondering....

....i do get your point. Having seen - well estimated - 300 plus shows since 1982 ( everything from Crosby, Stills, Nash to Pink Floyd , Deep Purple, Neil Young , Warren Haynes , even Moe ) i still travel up to 400 miles to see a gig i like to see. My lady does come with me whenever she wants to but not so does my son - i had tix for Santana open air this summer , he had nothing better to do but he just said" i don`t feel like ". You are right , Derek Trucks is a magician of his own , catched the TTB live some two years ago in Munich , they smoked and had lots of good vibes......and still i hope for Phil or/and Bobby to cross the ocean once again. Btw, todays listening was 92 - beautiful DS - very fine piano , very athmospheric , have to relisten agin....

When Will Ga and Fl get theirs?

No UPS choice date and no dead net ship (still says backordered). Ordered within three hours of announcement on 2 Jun (3+17 to be exact) so it can't be shipped in order of order dates. Just send an update that it will ship in a week, two weeks , a month or even next year. Communicate please

Kind of wondering

Who Are We? Went to see Tedeschi Trucks Band Wednesday Night. IMO, they may be the best touring music unit on the planet now. Go see them. Wore my 1987 Ventura County T-shirt to the show. Show was made up of some old timers (casual - I mean folks into their 80's), old timers (sportsters with their blazers, the folks who worshipped money too much when they were young and now realize they missed a lot of action), old and young hippies and freaks. As I am walking in I spot 1 guy and 2 girls all dreaded out. The guy was probably 19 and the girls maybe 16 and 18. We smile and waive as I am walking in. The guy is giving the traditional dead finger wave. So I go back and talk for a minute. They are looking for that miracle and selling some home made jewelry. So I am feeling groovy and kind, so I go to the ticket booth. Find out 3 tickets for the balcony were $36 (total not apiece). So I go back to them and tell them if interested I will buy them 3 balcony tickets. They turned me down. Said that have an after party to go to. Huh? They were not interested. Just do not understand. You look the part, asking for the miracle; but then you reject the offer. Now to be fair, they never heard the ticket price. They also stated they did not want 1 person to have to buy all 3 tickets. As I walked away I said 3 times - the tickets are cheap, cheap. Oh well. Missed a blazing show. TTB had Cedell Davis and Brethren open. Mr. Davis is one of the last of the old timer blues guys born in 1927. The Brethren came out and played a couple of down and dirty blues songs, very intense. Then they wheel Mr. Davis out in a wheel chair with full suit and tie on. He was incredible. It was so fun to see an old blues guy get his turn. The crowd was very appreciative. Gave him multiple standing ovations. You could see it was moving to him. Thank you Susan and Derek for bringing him along. He even went to his merch table and signed autographs and shook hands. Shook his hand and said thanks so much! I love how music has retrenched. Love that TTB was in a 2,000 seat concert hall. It was awesome that the Brethren were in the halls having a beer talking to folks in between sets. So much better than a stadium or even an arena. I would say the average age of the crowd was close to 60, wow. Went and saw Yes in this same hall 2 years ago and the average age was closer to 70. Truly the wheelchair and crutches crowd. Hope I can still make it when I am that old. Awesome Awesome night. European and Australian heads TTB is heading your way. Go see them. Support Live Music! Fortunately Susan and Derek are well grounded. They know how to party and keep it all in check. Being around Derek's Uncle and Greg Allman, they have warned of the pitfalls of the lifestyle. So since they appear well grounded, they should have a long time making music for us. Susan was phenomenal, Derek was of course Derek. I now understand why he left the Allman Brothers to focus on his band. Salute Derek Salute! Oh yeah, got to spend time talking to Derek's dad (Butch Trucks brother). Passed a message on to please tell Butch and Greg to not retire ABB until their 50th in 4 years. He said he would pass it on. Very nice guy. I snuck into the hall around 2 pm. I spoke with him the first time then as he was just finishing lunch and was setting up TBB merch table. Great family vibe. Wierd, the sound engineers were doing sound check, but the band was not there. Sound check using live tapes of the band to measure the hall's accoustic response. Very interesting to see that. Got to speak with the FOH engineer for a few minutes after the show. Should have taped, what was I thinking. Oh yeah, had a young head ask me about the shows in Ventura. He had gone to Santa Clara. He was probably 21. Gave him my number, told him to call sometime. Show review link: http://www.al.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2015/10/tedeschi_trucks_band_…

any landings in...

CT yet?

Lost In Space

Well, I sit about 100 miles east of Taylor PA patiently awaiting UPS's arrival at my office, while I read about deliveries elsewhere in my general vicinity and farther afield (MD, IL). I got the shipping update email but my order status still says its backordered with estimated shipping date of 10/31. It does seem that there is no rhyme or reason to the sequence in which they are shipping based on the fact that a couple of the recipients posting here ordered the box after I did. But that's OK, I'm just glad they started shipping finally and it's fun reading all the giddy posts...like kids in a candy store. And I have plenty of good tunes to listen to until the box lands here. I'm a patient man.

Nothing in ma

No email about shipment, no shipping info., no emailed links for unveiling yikes !! Only gotten multiple emails about delays and shipping address confirmations. Item still says backorder and I placed it on day 1, hour two so now I'm getting worried. No news is still good news right?

USB has not gone out, according to someone at Dead.net

I just got off the phone with Dead.net, and they said that the USB chips are actually scheduled to go out at the end of the month while the box set is shipping now. Wonder why the USB chip is taking so long.

I should be...

...sleeping right now. I work third shift. I guess I'll go downstairs and sleep on the couch in case UPS knocks on the door.

Sixtus and LowSpark

Sixtus has it right. Congrats to those who have the box in hand!!! LowSpark: as far as taking the box off my front step, I know it will be the 90 year old woman next door. She is always peeking in my window wonderin, what is going on in there. Edit: LowSpark, you get to bed. Feel for you as I would be freaked out to work 3rd with Christmas Eve starting at 4pm

Thanks Minusmorgal(or whatever)

Got this pleasant message in my box: "you said: Sorry Profiteers.. Looks like you scalpers will have unsealed products to send out. Muah muah. I say: you deserve to be buried under medical bills and to rely on selling CDs to make ends meet, but I wouldn't wish that on anyone, so I forgive you for your malicious intent. But you should have a kinder attitude toward others, especially considering that selling a product is a legal activity, and one that your country is built on. Did you ever consider that one of the generous people on this board who answer your stupid questions all day long might be a re-seller of CDs? You're all class pal, take that ridiculous suit off." Because nobody else has financial woes, apparently. Oh, and I'm wearing athletic shorts and a t-shirt. I guess that would indeed make a ridiculous suit.

#0412

I found my number!! To all you folks waiting, this box is cool. I'm spinning the Midnight Hour from 7/3/66 with Pig screaming ALRIGHT! through the Polks. Life is good...:)

FYI

I didn't receive a shipping notice

Like everyone here, I am so

Like everyone here, I am so looking forward to receiving the box! I warned the guardian of my building a big parcel was sent to me as it takes for me in case I will not be home for delivery.A deadhead in Paris, very excited as a kid at Christmas.

no class

lol - I didn't want to embarrass you by posting that comment, but it appears you have no shame. Or maybe you do, as you didn't publicize your response. Like I said class act all the way. Selling 17 CDs from an era I don't care for from my box set and letting people bid on them to decide their worth is not gauging anybody, and folks in fact were appreciative that I broke up a box set. The irony was, I thought I would reach out to you to burn you some '73 stuff before I realized what a turd you are.

Alain

Been loving your posts the last few weeks, we are for the most part a giddy bunch. Question to all, how much space do you think 6,500 of these boxes takes up? I mean if they ship 1,000 a day, that is pretty impressive. I am sure the Europeans get a pallet or two. Then thousand+ (of boxes, maybe 64 boxes/pallet)to the West of the Mississip. I still bet 50% are in the NE corridor...as even Grateful Dead called it deadhead alley (Boston to Washington D.C.). Edit 1) So maybe the U.S. gets 5000 boxes (?) Europe 1,000 - Aussie 250 and maybe the rest of the world 250? Hmmm I would be absolutely interested in that data.

Landing in CT

No shipping yet notice from dead.net. But just got one from UPS my choice. Looks like it's landing in CT on Friday. Can't wait

Gary

Thank you, Gary. It will be a real celebration when I receive the package. I vividly remember the emotion and the excitement I had upon receipt of Europe '72. My friend had filmed me as I opened the box and I went out in all riches.

+

waiting in Montigny-le Bx , aussi !!!!! Hey, now !!!

+

So how many Aussies do you think are on board. Has to be close to 500. Just a WAG (wild a** guess).

AAUGH!!!

No box set for me today...sigh. It's been tough catching up on all the posts - did anyone mention if the sound quality is better than the streaming shows? (and they sounded pretty good). On a side note - this is a happy day, I would encourage everyone to refrain from antagonistic posts.

Keith

So far only one post on anything about the sound, that was an hour ago, He was listening to Midnight Hour from 66.

#4294 I think Arrived

NO Shipping email showed up on the porch they are NOT packaged like the DaPseries. The pictures or a video DOESN'T DUE IT JUSTICE.

# 6193 arrived in Bethlehem PA ...

@ 5:00 PM ET EXCELLENT! I AM VERY HAPPY! THANK YOU JACK (or at least your estate, may you rest in peace) SPOILER ALERT! Here are the dimensions of the box in US measurements (sorry Alain & others who use metric): 13.75 x 9.25 x 8.50 1st up: 1966

Boxzilla

Never got a shipping notification but Boxzilla just arrived on the east coast in MD. Time to get down to business. Refrained from the streams!

Here's one for One Man

for those needy and grateful heads who cant afford the box and only want one or two shows - the last FEW shows and 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 bundle email me gilmourstephen@hotmail.com remaining shows: 68 82 83 90 92 93 94 95

still wonder

Who wins the Contest. How many remained white as snow...

Now

Getting ready to transfer the discs to jewel cases and then packing this thing back up until I figure out how to display

Gary & All Other Fockers

Gary thanks for the update on the sound bro. Speaking of '66, that Monster song was a nice little 60s ditty, I'm looking forward to giving it the "crank test" (i.e. turn it up full blast in the car). I am so happy for everyone who got it, I can't wait to get mine, hopefully tomorrow...

Miracle?

anyone get a Miracle scroll yet?

Alain

I just received E72 about 90 days ago...had to order the generic version :( So no excitement from opening the Steamer Trunk. Oh well loving the music. Trying to remember which show you saw on E72. Will pay close attention when I get to hear it!

RE: MIRACLE

I had to go back and look at the email. my box has a number so it is not a miracle box. good luck to those still alive

Keith

I think I am going to have a friend who is a sound man come check my stereo this weekend. I mean I need to let everyone hear how good a 66 midnight hour is. Absolutely cannot wait.

Order Status

I was just wondering what the order status is of those that have received the box. Does it still show as backordered?

no communication

I have not received any communication. So there is some sort of Miracle Ticket? Is it Nassau Coliseum or Willy Wonka?

yes

YES IT WAS BACKORDERED THIS MORNING. The MIRACLE EMAIL READS LIKE THIS:Unroll that scroll! Does yours say MIRACLE? Well, we can't gift you with tickets to 78's best show but we ARE going to grant each miracle scroll holder with a personalized Grateful Dead 30 Trips RIAA-certified Gold Record plaque as well as your numbered scroll. To claim your miracle, we'll need you to follow a few simple steps – outlined here – by November 16th, 2015.

Gary Farseer...you mean this?

The Wonka Golden Ticket! http://www.cakebakeandsweets.com/melbourne/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2…

Order status meaningless

UPS tells me the box has shipped, but order status still says backordered, estimated to ship 10/31/15. I would say, Don't worry about the order status.

mmmm thanks sixtus

would love a Colorado Wanka Bar. I can almost see green chunks in there somewhere. Thanks for the update Fluffua, sorry if I did not get name right.

Sorry

I Hate being a spoiler but whenever most of you guys gets yours please answer this because ultimately it's about the music but to me this is about the BOX. I've owned a steamer and 90 1st box but this BOX takes the CIGAR WARLOCKS BOX to the next level. how do you guys feel? I've dubbed it the cigar dehumidifier

Fluff

sounds incredible! As I stated this morning, as Warlocks were my last shows, I think I will replay those tonight and tomorrow, even if I get the box tomorrow. Egad

@Born Cross Eyed

Thanks for the dimensions. When I saw the video yesterday I could see it was smaller then I originally expected it would be which is a good thing. I have just the perfect spot picked out in my music room for this baby. Glad to see you are in Bethlehem. My daughter went to Lehigh so we spent quite a bit of time down there a few years ago. I downloaded 9/25/81 show from Stabler Arena a couple of years ago. I like to have shows from venues that I know. Go Mt. Hawks! Rock on

Liner notes

Has anyone who has the box spoken about this yet? I haven't seen it. But I know someone else asked. From the quoted length of the book and the way it appears in the video, the liner notes Are Not in the book. So my edumacated guess is, The Liner Notes Are With The Individual Shows.

No Worries

You got it right. Colorado Wonka bars would be awesome Too bad its possibly +1.5 days from the WV. It seems we have Md. and THE WV panhandle covered that's closest to the VA mailing code

@rrot

Yes, someone earlier said each show is sort of like a DaP. Liner notes, photos, news articles, and the set lists are on the back of each show. Rock on

well gotta head east

Congrats to todays winners!

@rrot

I wasn't worried per-say but just curious. I live in the boonies where mail doesn't get delivered and was just trying to figure out if I should take a trip to the post office. I seriously doubt that it will arrive here in AK for a few weeks...which just sucks. :(

hopefully this helps

The CDS I looked at have a message from Dave I tried the last show. I couldn't find anything in the book but I'm probably the guy really answer but there is no booklet to the shows. the book reeads both you read half than have to make the back the cover I thought that was badass

Oh, I missed that

I did see someone post "they are NOT packaged like the DaPseries" But they are?

Got it, thanks.

They are NOT with photos, news, etc in the individual show cases. Just the brief notes we saw in the PDF.

they are NOT

It's kind of like Road trips meets Europe72 with a little bit of 77 in my opinion. So BE CAREFUL disc openings could be at the top of the show you pick out

If you really want to know

If you really want to know when the set will arrive at your door... Get a free UPS.com account (not a Premium, or whatever they call it). It will tell you the scheduled date and the tracking. You don't even have to know your package number, it will find it for you. Just have to make sure your name and address are exactly as dead.net has it.

THE USB

AFTER SEEING THE BOX I WANT TO SEE A UNVEIL OF THE USB PACKAGING

Show notes compared to the 4CD-set

Can anyone give an opinion on the quality of the show notes. I believe in the 4cd truncated set - there were show-by-show reviews and notes. Are these replicated here or would the 4cd box be a good accompaniment to get to also get more detail on shows (as well as be a handy one for thee car).
