"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.)

...and regarding Ginger Baker. You know full well that any of us would just as quickly blow through $5 million if we got our hands on it and there was $5 million worth of previously unreleased Dead recordings to be purchased.

Song Version Reviews

Loved the E72 Dark Star blow-by-blow, 6-tus. Now, who wants to host a web repository (blog form or whatever) for this kind of thing? I'll contribute a review of every song version officially released on CD -- including 30 Trips, eventually. All of the others are done already, they just need a loving home and the chance to interact with other reviews. PM me!

60s music

Tube amps! Love um. I once owned a Mesa Boogie Mk 3 Simulclass that had the most rich warm melt your soul sound I ever heard. Loved that box. Had to be played LOUD just had to be haha.Sold it along with most of my road gear, but picked up a little Orange solid state amp, and for $239. It's a screaming lil monster. Very nice tone at any volume. The days of huge Marshalls are pretty much over. Such a pain to move them around. Plus these new Little boxes make great sound. One thing I learned that amazed me is Jimmy Page and his fav recording amp. It was a little amp as well! He miked it up perfectly. Distance is Depth! Page learned a lot from the ole 50s engineers. I read Ginger has pretty bad COPD now too. It showed with the chain smoking in the movie. Very sad story blowing through 5 million bucks and being dirt poor cause you can't withhold your compulsiveness. What's the line about a fool and his money?

Summers Eve

lol, right you are Florida. I felt a little bad for him throughout the movie; but then toward the end, his son said he blew him off, and that Ginger had already blown the millions he received from the Cream reunion shows. Talk about blowing a second chance - that's not just down-on-your-luckedness, that's bonafide Summer's Eve! I do love that late 60s tube amplification stage sound of Cream and others, especially with the Who and the Marshall Stack configuration. It's crazy to think now, how short a span all of those late '60s bands existed on stage. The scene was pretty much changed for good within 10 years.

Totally agree KeithFan

Moonie was the best in my book. Love his approach. Unparalleled in RockGinger considers himself as Jazz. I see that and his choices are spectacular too. But himself as a person? Summer's Eve comes to mind!

How about a NYE box set?

There have been some great New Years shows, and I think a box of a few would be cool. My fave is 12/31/81, but there are so many. https://archive.org/details/gd81-12-31.sbd.bertha-ashley.12784.sbeok.sh…

Make sure to rip first

My advice to ckcoffman (and others) is to first rip the discs in the box to iTunes or your other favorite software. That's a quick way to find out whether any discs are defective. You can then listen at your leisure. I haven't yet listened to any of the streamed concerts. Recently listened to Dave's Picks 15 - wonderful stuff. Since there's a fade between discs from Rhythm Devils to Not Fade Away, I used software (in my case, Amadeus Pro) to edit the two together, so I now have a seamless performance from Estimated Prophet through to Sugar Magnolia.

It all rolls ...

Wow, you guys are making my decision not to stream harder and harder! I decided just before the delay in shipping was announced to go on a GD fast, in order to drool even more heavily than usual when I got Boxilla in my mitts, but the plan got pretty hard to follow-through on when the shipping-later-than-Sept announcement came through. I've of course cheated--listened to the 9/11/73 DStar several times this week--but am generally trying to give some of the rest of the music collection some exercise so that my aural tastebuds are primed & even hungrier than usual for the GOGD. Deep into Cecil Taylor at the moment, and Los Lobos are entertaining me a good bit, too. I have to second that emotion w/r/t the kindness of '90s Dead getting some love. I was too young to experience Pig, TC (seen him since), Donna (seen her since), or Keith with the band, and I just missed catching Brent. I don't usually reach first for 1990s GD (I'm generally a 69/70 and 73/74 kind of listener), but sometimes nothing will do but Vince-era. It's all good, depending on mood and timing, and I hope we all get a few surprises out of this box. Anyway, happy anniversary of every show the GD ever played on 9/27 (here's looking at YOU Stanley Theater!). Out of curiosity: I'm planning to listen to the Box chronologically, but, with a job, a spouse, and 3 kids, I don't get enough uninterrupted headphone-time to expect that this won't take me several months (took me about 6 months to get through the E72 materials). So my crisis is that I am not sure what I'll do when DaP 16 (and 17, and maybe 18) arrives. Do I stop my Boxilla experience to groove on Dave's latest fave, or do I wait and wait until I've finished out the Box experience to listen to the next tasty treat from DL? Anyone else have a plan to accommodate this earth-shattering problem? It'll be a hard choice either way. As Oscar Wilde said, I can resist anything except temptation. I know ... it's all good, and I wish these were the biggest problems we all had everyday! FWIW, my half-year-long excursion through E72 was not hitch-free. I got to the penultimate disc of the box and found it skipped. In spite of the long time since order shipment, Dr. Rhino sent me a replacement within a week. Whatever complaints there are about TPtB on other people's parts, I have to give them some cred & mucho gratitude for coming through when I needed it! And, I don't recall who said it first, but the upcoming Dylan bootleg series release shows you how well treated we 'heads are. $600 for 18 CDs? No thanks, even for this Dylan freak. I'll go for the 6-CD version, probably, in the end, but can't help feeling cheated even there. I have everything the man's released, on vinyl and CD, but when I compare his catalogue to what we're getting from Rhino, I feel disappointed (as a BD fan) and grateful (as a GD fan). Now if only Dylan would step out on stage for some of the Dead & Co shows ....

mr baker

Saw it last year. Was also surprised how screwed up he is, but also how musically schooled he is. I knew he was a great drummer, but to hear him talk about it, there is clearly nothing unplanned when playing live. He scoffs at Moon, which says a lot about his approach to music. I don't think he appreciates Moon's talent and uniqueness. Nobody else in rock n roll is a lead drummer, and it"s almost impossible to replicate Moon, because his drumming was an extension of his explosive disposition. Few drummers' personalities are mirrored in their style to the great extent that Moon's is. It's the element that drove The Who's live sound. Everyone else was a passenger on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. Listening to I Need A Miracle from the Closing of Winter land. Fantastic. Perfect. The best. And it's good too... On to Playing in the Band. Love this mix, I can hear everyone, and Phil especially sounds good. I get a chuckle when people put down Keith in '78 - he plays as well as ever on pretty much everything I've heard, including this Playing. It is true that his talents are not showcased in the later years, but I maintain that's a product of the music's style, not any personal limitations.

Secondary market beats dead.net

I bought a single show from a helpful head on this site that doesn't like Brent.I bought it for my brother in Texas,as he couldn't buy the box.Looks like my first listen to physical product will be with this secondary market purchase before TPTB can get my order to me. In this day and age,this is pathetic. Shit,we got tha interwebs,indoor plummin' & lots o modern convienences out here in the boonies.... Give me an address....I'll come pick it up. Good excuse for a road trip,eh?

kleinmatt66

That's awesome, congrats!

Sorry...

I'll leave you good folks alone now.

For those still waiting

I received my box last Friday at 1:47 pm. The email with tracking info arrived Friday at 7:42 pm. Also as far as ripping, I put in the comments: YYYY-MM-DD-## town, state, venue ##= set list number. Then in iTunes I sort on comments and get all the tunes in chrono order. For studio albums, I use release date.

For those still waiting

Anyone selling the 5/16/81 show?

I probably should have thought of this sooner, but jrf68's post got me to thinking that an individual show could make a great gift, especially for someone who was at the show. An old friend of mine that's not a deadhead, but does enjoy them, was at the 5/16/81 show. And he lives in Texas, too. But, jrf68, unless your name is Michelle, my friend is not your brother so there is no risk of us both buying this show for him :) If I can get it for a reasonable price, PM me.

Re: St. Steve..

We know.

re: jrf68@hotmail.com, anrumler ...

And anyone else still waiting? Where in U.S. are you? I know it's easy for me to say, but I wouldn't worry unless it's still MIA at week's end.

Dijon, France

I'm in absolute awe of 9/18/74. The sound quality is as jaw-dropping as the performance. I've had this show for years but I guess I didn't give it enough love. This is going to be all-timer for me...

@Alain

Did you submit an article about the Le Zénith shows?

Well....in all fairness

the "Michelle"-Vegas-'94 show was just a case of too much....oh...is this thing on? Whoops Uhh...err ummm...I mean,I'm really mad and stuff and where's my stuff and stuff?? Golldarnnit....and stuff. Shit

Still Waiting in Atlanta

UPS.com does not show it to be in transit, so it may be a while. I'd love to have it for the weekend...

Still Waiting

Still do not have my box either in Georgia. When most of you got yours last week, I called and was assured I would get it today. Didn't get it today and called and was told that it may be a while before mine was shipped, but that they would do something special for me. Got an email a few minutes later letting me know that since I was being patient about not getting it when the rest of you did, they would let me stream the box for free. Really?!?! Like the rest of you, trying to stay positive and wait for the box. Kind of weird that I ordered it on the day that they announced it and still don't have it while guys in Europe are already getting theirs. Wish they knew more about what is going on at dead.net. The wait will be worth it.

Almost here

My box has made it to customs in Sydney. Now let's hope it get through without any additional import duties. Technically it should, but you never know.

Assieland...

...before continental US?No offense Aus.,but for $700,.....REALLY? Good F'n Grief!

Check those discs...

Finished ripping almost all the CDs to my computer. Had a couple shows that played better on another computer, but the freakin' last disc of the 1995 Salt Lake City show won't play on any of my computers. Looks to have a little bit of disc rot or something on the edges. haha..the last disc. Anyway, check those CDs. Wouldn't want to find this problem 3 or 4 months from now.

Saintstephen1971

Text me your address and I'll fly over and make sure I'm there when it arrives. Did you get slugged any extra tax?

WhiteWhales...

If you emailed me in the past for white whales, check your pm's.I got several in for people and am sending pm's tonight.

Re: Chilly

Hate to burst your bubble, Chilly.. but I just spoke to jrf68 who is currently on a red-eye to Australia as I write this. He told me, come hell or high water he was getting his box tomorrow. So one box for jrf, the second just sold on ebay for the exact price of his plane ticket. No need to rush over to steve's place.

jrf68

Not sure what the issue is but something is not right. There are several guys in the U.S. still waiting. The only thing I ever received before people in the U.S. was DaP's 6. But I still have not received any shipping notifications from anyone which is just wrong.

@jiminMD

I advise hoping on a DHL plane out of Cincinnati as it appears those cargo flights get here several hours faster than commercial flights. I'm still trying to figure that one out.

waiting, but on schedule

UPS emailed saying delivery to Portland, OR tomorrow. I guess the corners take longer to get to.

int'l v. US shipping

There have been many recent cases where overseas folks have received their shipments before continental US folks. I know how it feels to be waiting while other folks are enjoying the bounty. And it sucks. Best wishes on a tomorrow delivery for everyone.

Re: White Whales

Brian.. thank god. I am desperate for a few shows from the box, specifically 90,92,93 and 95. I will pay anything. Can you hook me up?

CURSES!!!

Three times since the initial shipments I have opened the front door and discovered a box, only to see Amazon or Macy's and addressed to the wife. That Gal can shop! Something tells me it doesn't add up to $700+ though! One day to go!

huh?

Classic vince shows?classic and vince are two words that should never be used together with reference to a GD show, unless classically UGH is the intention

-American Humor

Sorry man.. I was behind in my reading and Brian hooked me up before I got to your subtle, disguised offers. Brian came through with a good price though, $38 per show and he threw in Jerry's favorite coke straw. Hope that makes it through the mail.

Snooze

I'm sure its still fresh tasting and moist. ..and Steve, we still know what shows you have.

Flower Power

So I'm a little confused, because of the frequent mixed messages here- the 90, 92, 93 and 95 shows are still available- and the Jerry signed lp is included with a package deal. How much for the Dobermans (sans shotgun). Or maybe a 92 show and one doberman? Peace, love, some Dobermans and a shotgun- Man I miss the 60's.

#0164 arrives in Chino, CA

I just received my box set, finally. I waited all day to received my box which arrive at 1900 PST. My arrived with no damage to the box itself. All discs in tack, ripping now to iTunes.Red Felt Ticket Stub: 11/27/91Oakland Couliseum Backstage Pass: 5/16/93 Las Vegas

#0164 arrives in Chino, CA

Question about the Dobermans..

A quick question about the dogs. I did not know they were part of the deal. Are either or both of the Dobermans signed by Jerry? Or Phil or any of the original band members or are they just signed by Vince or are they unsigned?

Easy boys...

...I feel (felt) your angst this past long (holiday) weekend, but, with absolutely no notice, and while completely off radar at UPSMyChoice, 30 Rock debuted in the Dark Heart of Appalachia today. Based on criticisms, I had expected a balsa contrivance secured for shipping with only a few drops of Mr. Ed destined to disintegrate upon contact with O2 at opening. Far from it. Not Samsonite; but, at a gross price per disc that we near-universally agree is fair without discount for packaging, anything more is simply unrealistic. This is the new bar. Moreover, having collected every official release except TOO (a Spring Too Far), or any of the "greatest hits" comps, and in light of the comprehensive coverage provided through this production opus, I now withdraw from compulsory purchases. Thank you Rhino & GDP - it's been a phenomenal trip! See y'all on the discussion threads./peace, K Edit: I received a ticket for 2/26/77 and a backstage pass for 6/21/80 with a handwritten sticky attached that read, "KC, these are my tentative selections for numbers 17 & 18 - your thoughts? Love, DL". Absolutely and categorically untrue, but if wishing made it so, I'd be violating the purchasing moratorium in fast order!

Golden Ticket

Has anyone received a Miracle Box yet?

miracle box

By my count, there was exactly one miracle box (which was immediately offered for sale @ $500) and 2 or 3 Miracle scrolls.

Individual Show artwork

Does anyone have a link for jpeg artwork from the individual shows contained in the 30 trips box set??

Jack_Straw

Someone did, scroll though the posts. Maybe some kind soul will repost it here. Folks were grabbing them from the .pdf download. Even better would be if Dead.net made them available here. hint hint.

Booker's single barrel-130.8 proof

I've been saving it for quite a while.Not hard to get,but not run-o-tha mill either. Cheers :)

what's with the static? & a worst sounding show question

Wow, a lot noise going on about some Australian guy (or gal, or guys), can't follow it, probably better if I don't. Anyway, I am waiting (I guess until the beginning of November) for the USB set, and restraining myself from listening to any of the streaming sets. My question (may sound odd, but give it a read), which show has the worst sound in the set? That is the one that I want to start with. Why? Because I don't know where I want to start, and I already thought about bouncing back and forth starting form the middle. From what I've read, it looks like one of the early '80s shows has the poorest sound (on the CD). Also, I am curious about if there is a difference between the poorest sounding CD and its USB (supposedly high res) version b/c I was told they were separately mastered. If anyone is interested in a virtual shoot out, send a PM, we can trade copies and compare. In the unlikely event that I get more than a couple of responses, I'll pick two at random. Glad everyone is loving this set (aside from a few defects, not surprising).

Some may find this funny

no comments about the 1970 show??

was just diggin Dave's #6 & thought how there hadn't been a comment about the show from 1970 while feeling jrf68's pain reading these comments...pretty sure most of us in Cali are still waiting too, brother... but we ALL SHOULD be happy tomorrow... mine is supposed to be delivered on wednesday & read a few others expecting their Boxzilla's tomorrow as well... may the force be with you... ♤

Celebrating the arrival....

....I may not have any fine spirits, but I do have some impressive samples that are dark green in colour....just....waiting

The Eagle has Landed :)

#6337 arrived today with no issues. Ticket from 10-0-91, pass from 8-22-93. First show in the player: Augusta '84. Can't wait to start dipping in the pool. Hope everyone gets their box soon!

It is approaching!

30 Trips arrived in Paris! It is approaching. Home delivery is scheduled for tomorrow. I will take a day off to take delivery of the magic box. I'm overjoyed! Wilfred, No, I have not proposed or submitted article on the show Zenith. I attended the show on 28 October. That of October 27 has great moments, like China> Rider.

Bonne nouvelle Alain....

....Bonne nouvelle....

"Also, I am curious about if there is a difference between the poorest sounding CD and its USB (supposedly high res) version..." With the USB you should be able to hear the hiss and distortion more clearly.
