"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.)

Dylan Box

I would love to have this.. to bad I didn't see it coming and budget for it. ok.. karma and scratch off lottery is my only chance. I hate lottery as its a regressive tax.. but I will give this one try. If I lose, I will listen vicariously through the musing of Muleskinner and One Man. but.. another cool box.

Warning - Off Topic - Dylan at My Door Too

I kinda forgot when the big Dylan set was supposed to arrive, and here it is today. Gotta say, the packaging and product (including high quality hardbound books and other deep ephemera) are off-the-charts great, and although I am only about to start disc 3 of 18, I am already really glad I'm hearing every shred of tape rolled during these sessions. It's amazing how the grooves of the songs were varied in search of the "right" one. They're all over the place. This will not stand up to the whole-disc/show repeated listenings of, say, 30 Trips, but I will have a lot of fun listening through it all and creating playlists of my faves. Being a studio sort of person, this is what I live for (sometimes).

Music players

"Sony has a hi-def Walkman ($299) with 64 GB internal storage and an SD card slot. It plays FLAC files too." I did very little research and ended up buying the Sony player about 5 months ago. I was actually thinking of having a 128g card in my carry along with the 30 days USB set on it.... dare to dream if that even really exists... but as far as players go, I'm very satisfied with the Sony. It's tiny, light, easy to use, and files drop to it from cpu very easily. I have the software but don't use it much. Just copy from my cpu hard drive to the storage. My wife takes it outside on weekends to garden and pairs it by bluetooth with a Bose Soundlink III. She loves the thing. I also used it via bluetooth and aux cable in a Dodge Ram driving 15 hours to a Montana vacation this summer. Both ways worked pretty good. Didn't like that it doesn't automatically re-connect when you go back to it via bluetooth in the truck. Otherwise the sound is excellent and it plays everything I have. I would buy it again. Now I'll go back to waiting for the USB to get here.

More Music Players....

I found an interesting review between the FiiO X1 and Sony High Def players. It jives with my experience with FiiO. Great player but the interface is a bit limited. I mostly play whole shows anyway, so you just select the folder w/ the show you want and hit play. I ended up going with FiiO because it was $100 vs. $300 and up for others; I can spend the savings on more music and bribing crooked politicians. _________________________ the X1 is overall better as far as sound fidelity and driving power go. it's one of the best sound/$ you can hope for. now the battery is just usual, around 10hours, the UI is very very limited and frustrating at times, the wheel isn't precise and it takes some getting used to it. and you do need to have your music tagged properly. you will pretty much browse only by folder because the rest sux and you need to scroll for too long for it to be nice. the sony is pretty much a box made from ease of use. the UI works fine, all the browsing methods are good, it boots fast, it's clearly smaller. but the output is weak. the impedance is 4ohm (2ohm for the X1). so if you want to pay for sound and are ready to work a little on organizing your folders and tags, the X1 is really a great DAP. if you want to pay for something practical before any other factor, then the A15 is like the son of a cowon J3 and you'll love using it. I ended up keeping both ^_^. http://www.head-fi.org/t/754386/sony-nwz-a15-vs-fiio-x1

re: Dylan

haha ya I couldn't help myself...Dylan was more prescient than he knew when he named 'I'll Keep It With Mine' as 'Bank Account Blues' for Tom Wilson's cue, haha. I really do believe in getting something and letting it sink in, but there's been so many releases lately, as well as nabbing up some (what I think were) good deals, I've bitten off more than I can chew... I'm through BIABH to the Like A Rolling Stone sessions, there's quite a bit from this period that has been released or bootlegged. I rank Blonde on Blonde as the third of the 'Electric Trilogy' to me (not a slight by any mean, just not as close to me as the first two..), but I think those sessions will be the most revelatory in this set. Did I mention he recorded and released those three albums within a <18 month span? And also, did I mention he recorded and released those three albums within a <18 month span?

Music players

Sony has a hi-def Walkman ($299) with 64 GB internal storage and an SD card slot. It plays FLAC files too. Thinking of getting one since Apple has failed miserably! Why would I want a music player that looks like my phone? Why would I want to store my music on my phone and have to buy a new music player every 2 years?

Muleskinner...

You got that thing??!!!?? Wow... good for you! I won't say that I'm not jealous. I too am an enormous Dylan fan, but the price scared me off a bit, considering, unlike 30 Trips, it was only 18 discs. I'm opting for the more reasonable, 6 disc version of that release. The price was a lot more palatable, especially to my wife! Enjoy! It really is a great time to be a fan of certain artists.

Embarrassment of riches..

So I just finished 1976, going in order through 30 Trips. So just about two decades left and the new Dylan set got here today. 18 discs, everything he recorded in the studio from the period of Bringing It All Back Home to Blonde on Blonde. The packaging is fantastic, several hard bound books, prints, 7" singles from that period and a small snippet of the actual film of Don't Look Back's theatrical release. Oh yeah, and the music. Listening to Disc 1 now..Bringing It All Back Home has the shortest air time of the three, and I've heard several of these, but already several highlights. The foot-stomping piano On The Road Again was great. Dylan vs. The Dead: http://s13.postimg.org/53a5yvhs7/IMG_5430.jpg

My box arrives

I just received a message from the carrier DHL. Heavy taxes to pay for France! The box should reach me quickly.

Emails

I've not had a single email from dead.net about shipping, miracles or anything else... even though the box seems to have made its way across the Atlantic to the UK...

Authentic tickets?

West Coast and Mid West shows didn't always sell out, most of the unused tickets are from CA shows. They also have an authentic ticket in the GD scrapbook from GD.net. http://www.dead.net/content/grateful-dead-scrapbook-deluxe-edition

rrot, you are a mother....

of all genius, thank you for the UPS My Choice tip. I opened an account and see that mine will be here by end of day. You can't imagine the load it took off my mind, wondering if this thing was coming today....Peace

30 trips here

arrived at home last night from a 16 hr day to find waiting, my personal miracle....30 Trips was here!!! And what a beautiful box it is. Now that I have the day to myself, I begin an audio journey,peace to all

7"

Am I the only one here who cringed when they saw that the 7" single was just on the lid sandwiched between 2 pieces of wood. No scratches but I'm curious how may will be as people try to slide it out.

When the box lands

Crank up that old Victrola, put on them rockin' shoes. The '66 show will have you moving like you're dancing barefoot on the surface of the sun.

Shipping

I think their trying to surprise us with the box my status still is backordered and I still haven't got a shipping email other than the one that say's we will be shipping your box soon.

So easy, a caveman could do it...

Another thumbs-up for the UPS My Choice- I just found out that it will be a very good weekend indeed. Thanks, rrot. Happy Columbus Day to all the Italian explorers out there in Deadland!

Tickets and Backstage pass :) Nice Touch decision Makers

Very cool that they are doing that !!! Two thumbs up from me People post your ticket and Pass Dates ,, curious to hear,, the 2.21.95 pass somebody mentioned,, super score !! I'm guessing a lot of 90's tickets,, I am pulling for a Greek pass or ticket !!! 7.13.84 Would be cool to get a New Years, Mardi Gras, Band Member birthday show, Last Show, or some other anniversary pass

Sweden/black market

Well doesnt seem as if my box has started its journey over the pond.The nice lady at DHL could give me a tracking number however, so at least I can watch its progress. As to Stephen and his repetitive touting of shows, I concur with all the others who are heartily sick of the constant admonishments to get em while you can,take this petty commerce elsewhere,pretty please. Stephen prospered in his....... ......where ever he goes they all complain!

MyUPS shipping

Hi all, I have noticed a couple of shipments arriving for me today and Monday. Can anyone tell me what they appeared as when you checked? Mine say "Warner Music Group Promo".... Not exactly sure what that all means. Thanks! Scott

"DP"

Double Post

30 Trips.....

....finished its trip to Northeast Philly yesterday afternoon.... I didn't get a shipping notice so that made it a very nice surprise. My first impression? "They sure didn't skimp on this."

Wood is Not Good

I wanted to start out by saying how grateful I am that this box was assembled. It's great to have a community so enthusiastic about music stretching back a half century. With that said . . . In response to the post on 10/08 at 12:43 by wissinomingdeadhead "It's WOOD and the wood is GOOD" Unfortunately - No. It's not wood. It's particle board with a veneer overlay. Mine came yesterday and the lid was peeled away from the front left corner. I made my avatar a picture of the damaged box. You can also check out a more detailed picture by searching Twitter for #30Trips or click the link here: https://twitter.com/hashtag/30trips Disappointing on two fronts. First it's damaged. Second, we paid $740 for veneer and not full grain, real wood. That's a massive, massive let down. Sure, it could probably be re-glued but that's not the point (and the veneer does not match-up when you press it down anyway - it's already warped, so it will never look right even if 'fixed'). I'm glad it appears from a review of the comments below that my box is the only one to have suffered this damage in transit. That's good for the GD fans but I hate to he bearer of bad news. The box's composition means that the condition my box is in now will eventually be the condition of each and every one of the 6500 boxes. Wood can withstand the test of time. MDF, Glue & Veneer cannot. It's not a question of if, only when. The music is the most important thing but when you make a decision to design a product instead of simply offering digital downloads, the physical design becomes part and parcel of the overall packaging. You simply cannot separate the two. It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. Ecstatic about the music. Deeply disappointed in the product design.

30 Trips

Arrived in Haverford, PA last night. Incredibly cool and the streams do not do the sound quality justice. 10-12-84 is just amazing. I am a fan of 1984 but given what they did with this release of that show, I can live with the likelihood of never seeing another 1984 release. Also, the scroll is much cooler in reality than comes across on the PDF. Book too, but moreso the scroll. Anyone get a USB delivered yer?

jw1895

I'd be really bummed if that happened to me.

Happy for all you guys

I seem to be the only one with no package arriving, even after checking with UPS Choice; nothing coming my way this weekend. Dead.net, per usual, was extraordinarily unhelpful. I hope all of you people receiving this treasure trove enjoy your weekend!

RROT

Do what RRot said below and you will see when Warner Music package is arriving. Im in Iowa and it says Monday. Looks like they are coming from Pennsylvania. Its a free service.

MA deliveries, &c.

Dear other impatient Massheads: I live just outside of Boston (like really 'just'--about 25 feet), didn't pay extra for faster shipping options, have had no shipping email from Deadnet (other than the really general one), and my order status is still showing 'Backordered.' But, according to the MyUps service (thanks for that tip, everyone), my box should land sometime on Monday. That's good to hear, as I'll be out of town from tonight to Sunday morning for a wedding in Philly, and now I don't have to worry about the goods disappearing from the porch while I'm on the road. It also means that I'll be driving south this afternoon from MA to PA, while my box rides with its friends from PA to MA. Arrgh--so close! Reports from those with this thing in hand are most encouraging. I'd wish you all a good weekend, but I know you'll manage to do that anyway! 2cents on the reseller question: I've never sold anything GD-related except extra tickets in the parking lot, but I've always sold those at face value or less, and always to people who looked like fans, not resellers. Too, I've bought tix resale, but only ever at face value, and usually from friends whose plans fell apart at the last minute. That said, I was pretty cash poor from roughly 1997 to 2007, and missed out on a lot of DPs, RTs, and FW69 because of it. To be able to get my hands on some of those releases has meant dipping into the world of resales, and I appreciate that there are copies out there for me to consider (although some are $till out of reach). Expect I'll see everyone in Worcester for Dead & Co.?

Thanks for the MA/Boston Update

I appreciate the update on the MA/Boston area shipment(s). For whatever reason, when I went to sign up for MyUPS Choice, I got to the very end, and it gave me an error message saying my address was listed as a commercial address and it is open to the public (news to me???) and therefore they couldn't give me tracking info. Odd, because we live in a single family on a cul de sac...the furthest thing from a commercial addy! Ahh well. Had me wondering though, when this puppy might hit my stoop. Need that Stoop Cam. Sounds like it may be Monday then...which incidentally is Columbus Day and I have off work but hope it's not a day off for Mister Postman. Cheers to all of you who are reveling in this awesomeness and thanks for sharing your giddiness and some content details as well. Sixtus

"My Choice?" Maybe, Maybe Not

I live in a remote part of west Texas and must rely on a post office box. This means my dead.net shipments come via UPS’s dreaded “Mail Innovations”. UPS hands off these packages to the USPS for delivery. I wasn’t seeing my Boxilla delivery on UPS’s “My Choice”, so I checked with UPS just now. They told me that Mail Innovation shipments DO NOT show up on “My Choice”. Looks like those of us in this boat will be sailing blind, but keep the faith – much more likely than not your tsunami of music is (or is about to be) heading your way! Get ready to catch that wave! Onward!

Squirrelly Guy

That squirrelly guy that got to do the unveiling is great. I've watched it about 10 times while I wait for the UPS guy.

Jack Straw/Sixtus

I share your concerns...I also remain in the dark about the status of my box. I had it shipped to my office here in the metro NYC area, so it would not sit on my front porch, but my office is of course a commercial address and therefore not trackable by MyUPSChoice. When I inquired this morning the nice woman at dead.net told me they would be sending out shipping confirmation and tracking numbers in the next "1 - 2 business days". So...I tell myself to remain a patient man a little longer. I suspect we are far from the only customers in this information never-never land. All things in time, all things in time.... Right?

Happy Leif Erikson Day! Hinga Dinga Doergen

jw1895 - You are not the only one - My box came with a nice puncture wound from the outside shipping box through the inside shipping box and right through my 30 Trips box. I already called for a replacement.

Oh man. That's even worse!

Oh man. That's even worse! Sorry to hear that. I contacted customer service as well. Here's to hoping they held a few boxes back.

That squirrelly guy is Dr. Rhino

As shown on the Rhino website.

THERE IS STILL HOPE HERE IN CONNECTICUT

After checking UPS website all morning long with no luck (THANKS TO THOSE WITH THE HELPFUL TIP SUGGESTION) and reading the posts, I decided to check the website one more time. BAM I signed on and there popped up a calendar on the UPS Site for a delivery between 10:30-12:30 from the Warner Music Group. PLUS... I have NOT received any email from Dead.net about shipping. Anyone thinking about torturing themselve and waiting to open this up on Christmas morning. Wouldn't it be nice to feel like an 8 year old kid and getting all excited about Christmas again. YES I'm actually thinking about it.... We shall see how long that lasts.... Stay tuned

BUT WAIT!

Call now in the next 15 minutes... ...and receive TWO SHOWS for the price of one! (just pay separate shipping and handling)

UK delivery

Just has a text from the carrier asking me to pay £88.00 VAT. Pooh!

Really??

THAT is Dr Rhino?? He has managed a couple of my product issues soooo much better than customer support. So does he own the whole sha-bang?

Box Quality

I have to agree with some who are not happy with the construction of this box. The laminate is already starting to peel on my box and some of the wood base panels do not line up. That being said its all about the music which is fantastic so far. For $23.33 per show I feel this is well worth the price. I just don't think the box will hold up very well.

Customer Service

Just talked with a nice rep at customer service. They have no idea if boxes are being shipped out. They are not getting updates. With that being said, she told me that there is a possibility it might have shipped already. I'm hoping so. I cannot wait to dig into those 93, 94 and 95 shows!!!

And just like that...

The box arrives. Only problem is I'm 2 hours away and it's raining back home. Had to call the neighbor. Luckily the box only got a little damp on the bottom when the UPS guy slid it onto the porch. Now the long wait. I love the camp in the Adirondacks, and I love the fall foliage, but I also really, really love the Dead. Maybe I can leave just a couple hours earlier then planned. Going to be hard to wait.

Got it!

Wow! What a nice surprise to find this on my door step. Began with Winterland '71, now listening to Golden Gate '75. Hat's off to the designers I think the packaging is superb! Any hoo , back to listening! On my day off too! Peace, Meeko

@StStephen71

I agree with folks on this board who always say to just ignore the real pains in the neck like you. But I can no longer do that. You have gone above & beyond anything I have ever seen here. Your crass sales promotion is exceeded only by your annoying habit of posting this thing every 5 minutes. I hope once you are done selling us everything, including your underwear, that we never hear from you again. You are beyond annoying!

West coast Deliveries

Thanks to rrrot for the UPS tip. Looks like the box will hit SF Bay Area on Wednesday...

DHL and Cinram Group (Commedy66)

Very interesting that Cinram Group manufactured these. I should have figured as there are not many CD pressing firms out there. That means these disks were pressed 10 minutes from my house. I had forgotten about Cinram, have had friends work there for years. I totally forgot about getting In the Dark and Dicks Picks 1 for free from some buddies. Man, I have to go through some of my old boxes. I was just about to buy DP1, and still may, off of ebay. I need some of you extremely organized folks to come spend a weekend with me. Free Head Food!

Starting to bug the F out

Any advice for someone who's credit card was charged but order still reads back ordered on this site and has received nothing as far as info from this site or customer service , plus after trying my choice UPS gets a message that reads " there are currently no items in transit to your address" (address has not changed either ) ... Happy for those who are already listening , but this kinda sucks for anyone in my shoes ...anyone else in this predicament ?

Boston Delivery

Hi, I also live right outside of Boston and my shipment time on the UPS MyChoice page is Monday between 10:30 and 2:30. Thankfully, I'm off for Columbus Day. It seems like most of the Boston area should get shipments then...

no need to bug

mikeblood - I'm in the same boat. i wouldn't worry. this is not unusual for dead.net. it'll all work out. my guess is that the shipping's happening over the course of many days. i've had situations where i get my box 2 weeks after others have received there's, and the email saying it's been shipped comes a day or two after it gets here.
