"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.)

life insurance

Well, Dantian, she might not need that life insurance policy if she's discovered how much some of those limited releases are going for on ebay.I actually showed my wife the DaP1 page on Amazon before bringing up the possibility of buying this box. ;) I've never sky dived but did have 49 static line jumps in my old Army days. It was just about the only think I enjoyed about the Army other than the topless bars.

That's another thing, she keeps feeding me bacon with every meal. I mean breakfast, lunch and dinner, sometimes even with dessert. I just thought it was because she knows how much I love bacon, but maybe you're onto something. Funny thing is, I haven't even told her yet that I cashed out the life insurance to pay for boxzilla...

I was curious enough to check (cause ya can't beat '70 dead) and that just might be a partial setlist from 2/8/70. Would be nice to have a board of that!

....gonna do it one day. It's on my bucket list. Not too crazy of an idea if you ask me.... ....on this, the most somber date among fans, I'm rejoicing by spinning Wichita. Love, love this show. It's got a top ten Cumberland for petes sake! I try not to be melancholy on 8.9, but rather celebrate the player. And what a player he was. Saw an interview with Jerry yesterday. He said something along the lines of, "I don't think I'll be remembered as a accomplished musician. I just want to be remembered as an adequate one." Sorry to disappoint you Mr. Garcia, but you are.... ....stay kind my friends, and Play Dead....

5/8/77 & where were you.....

After a GREAT night of um, "sleeping" the wife & I went out to breakfast & check this out SHE treated, after we came home she went out to look for new bedding & a few things to accessorize the bedroom, while she was gone I decided to give the fabled show, May 8, 1977, Cornell a REAL good listen, do I still feel it's OVERRATED, yes, the thing I cannot get past is the fact that this show doesn't contain the "usual" 1977 concert staples such as MNS, H>S>F, 1/2 Step, Bob & Donna duet on LLR or the ANTHEM of 1977, Terrapin. Now with that said it does contain the BEST Scarlet>Fire of 1977, & the St. Stephen>Dew is a one time only masterpiece. For me 1977 begins & ends with 5/4/77 the BEST (IMHO) of 1977, that 2nd set with the most muscular of Estimated ever performed & the Terrapin>Playin>Comes A time>Playin is sublime & amazing ALL at the same time & the 1st set has the BEST tear jerking version of LLR ever done, IMHO & the other thing about 5/4/77,is that NO ENCORE was given it's as if the GD were saying we gave you the GREATEST of our BEST, nothing else needs to be said. To me 5/8/77, has more of a sentimentality going for it than the actual performance, it's played at an Ivy League School during a freak snowstorm on Mother's Day PLUS the tapes that were trading around 1981 of this show were the BEST sounding tapes up to that point in fact the only other tape I possess that even comes close to it in term of sonic clarity has to be a 4/21/84 Set II AUD that I received in late 1985, in fact 5/8/77 sort of spoiled us avid tape traders with the notion that ALL GD tapes had the same very high quality sound, alas we were fooled into thinking that every show was a "Betty Board" this was & still is the case, for this "OLD HEAD" I still look for the BEST sounding tape not so much for the performance itself, as I can & will find something I like in EVERY show I listen to. Now 1977 was a great year musically as Fleetwood Mac's Rumors was at the top of the charts, Frampton Comes Alive was the TOP SELLER of 1977, The Eagles released Hotel California & Pink Floyd released Animals. On stage Yes were selling out 90,000+ stadiums, Peter Frampton was selling out EVERYWHERE he played at, & yet the Grateful Dead became the consummate "professionals" without much fanfare, it seems as though the GD were saying we're not relying on the "JAM" alone we're going to play as professionals not on in the studio but also on stage. I often wonder if more "non" Deadheads would have gotten "on the bus" had 5/8/77 been released on vinyl at that time. IMAGINE THAT!!!! Now just because I SAY 5/8/77 is OVERRATED I'm not saying that if TPTB saw to it to release it I wouldn't buy it, as YES I WOULD!!! So now begs the question will the fabled show played in Ithaca, N.Y. on Mother's Day 1977, ever see it's way as an "official" release? My response to that question is if we do it will be as a stand alone release, because a show of legendary proportions deserves to be released as just that a stand alone release. A show that has NO EQUAL, So To The Powers That Be LET'S RELEASE 5/8/77 as part of the 50th Anniversary of the band is not the BEST at what they do, but they're the ONLY ones who do what they do, the GRATEFUL DEAD!!! Where were you on the day Jerry died? I was at the Philadelphia Fire Administration Building filling out paper work to join the HAZMAT Unit. Local radio DJ Pierre Robert (93.3 WMMR) announced at 10:21am that Jerry Garcia was found dead of an apparent heart attack in his room at a California Rehab Facility & he PLAYED DEAD up until his shift ended @ 2pm, Such a sad, sad day in Deadland folks it's hard to believe 20 years have passed where has all the time gone, HE'S GONE AND NOTHINGS GONNA BRING HIM BACK FARE YOU JERRY GARCIA I LOVE YOU MORE THAN WORDS CAN TELL!!!!! PLAY DEAD DEADLAND!!!!

Good job on the room, sounds real nice, I'm sure your wife is very happy. I think my wife wants me to be more active, or get a new hobby or something, instead of just drinking wine and buying expensive GD box sets. We were watching discovery channel the other day, some program where these guys wearing flying squirrel suits jump off cliffs and fly like 100 mph through jutting rock formations. She says to me, "Why don't you try that honey, looks like it would be fun, doesn't it?" I said, "I don't know babe, not really my thing." She says, "What about skydiving then?" I don't know where she gets these crazy ideas from.

'77 book

Wissinoming, when I saw the subject on your last post I thought you were going to write about DaP7. I guess '78 has been on my mind a lot lately (for obvious reasons). It looks like the book you mentioned is the new Howard Weiner book that Muleskinner wrote about a few days (or weeks?) ago. Sounds pretty cool and Weiner seems to be good at zeroing in on very specific topics so this is perfect for him to write about. I finished Tangled Up in Tunes awhile ago and have just started Positively Garcia. Weiner does a great job in the latter book explaining why Jerry isn't held in higher regard by the uninitiated. I don't agree with all his opinions but he's very well spoken. I bet he has a lot to say about 9-3-77 in the new book; in Tangle Up in Tunes, his memoir, he writes about that tape being among those that really turned him on to the Dead. As for Cornell, I think it's possible for it to be spectacular and overrated at the same time. To me, it's the best show of '77 although I admit that familiarity is part of the reason for that. Great as it is, it would not crack my top 10 or 20 all time shows (theoretically speaking) as they would all be pre hiatus. It would be really cool if Weiner wrote a similar book about '73. I suspect that would take a little longer to research--longer shows with much more going on during the jams.

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).
