"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.)

ROLLINGSTONE.COM SONG PREMIERE AND EXCLUSIVE DAVID LEMIEUX INTERVIEW
Head on over to Rollingstone.com for the very first listen of "Morning Dew" 9/18/87 Madison Square Garden, David Fricke's exclusive interview with archivist David Lemieux, and the reveal of 30 TRIPS AROUND THE SUN's '69 and '84 shows.

On MacOS – Open the GD 30 Trips drive, and double click the MacStart to run.

Viewing the digital book:
You can either view it within the program that comes on the drive, or by opening the PDF directly.

To view the PDF, open the PDF folder on the drive and the USB_bk_spreads_08-31 file within. Selecting the option within your PDF reading application to view as a “single page” might be preferable to viewing as a continuous document.

I paid this box off last month....

....and it wasn't too painful. The band-aid came off relatively quickly, and now I can bask in all it's (faux) wood glory, paid in full. Totally worth it. 1970, 1994 and 1976 have rotated at least five times. Checking out 1990 tonight. Vince and Bruce didn't miss a beat....

30 Trips

I agree with Hbob this is a thing of beauty - listening to '87 now but it was hard choosing. '67 Shrine is through the roof, I particularly like BW & BK's playing on it. JG's solo is perfection. And that's the thing about this box set…magic and surprise at every turn even though some of us have been listening for years. I'm still amazed!

Re:

Agree with the recent comments.. this is the gift that keeps on giving. An amazing amount of music that this listener has not yet wrapped his brain around. It does look like there is an even dozen USB's left. oh.. and Keithfan, I like your answer to 'Why is it so Fast!?' the honest answer would have been Too Much Coke, but why tarnish such a young brain with the bitter truth. I laughed when I read that.. oh.. and RDevil, I have been on a sequential trip and like I previously posted.. I blew out the JBL's in my car on the Shrine. It is that good.. and no response from Phil on replacing my speakers even though we all know it was his fault!

re: Boston '91 Box...agreed!

Kayak Guy, I wholeheartedly agree on these Boston Garden run of shows in fall 1991. they were all excellent with Bruce in top form and each night has something special to offer. DP 17 is a prime example and I'd love to see the entire run get a similar formal release treatment. One of my favorite segments from the entire run is from the second night, the Eyes of the World that's followed by all the boys leaving the stage except Bruce Mickey and Billy and it's a very fun romp for several minutes. Part of the magic addition of Bruce in my opinion. You select some great shows. Agreeably, Sixtus

I too couldn't afford E72 when it came out. It took me about about a week to come to that realization. It was just too hard to justify at the time, being in school and not working. It wasn't too long after that when the Dave's Picks Series started. I feel really lucky looking back now remembering how I barely had enough for the 1st years subscription. If I had bought the E72 box I probably wouldn't have joined the Dave's Picks club. And now the E72 shows are available individually (which I have about 8 of). So, everything has really worked out.

30 Trips one for the ages

I have to agree with Mustin321. This box alone contains enough great music to carry me for a long time. Don't get me wrong, after going through the whole box once, I am now mixing in more listens to each show, along with other Dead shows from other releases. Many of those from suggestions heard here, such as Go To Nassau, DaP17 and a lot of '74 shows. I think the box really shows off the 80's & 90's in a good light. Those shows sparkle with electricity and energy. For those of you who could not spring for the $700, I feel your pain. I could not swing the E'72 box at the time of its release, and while that was also true of this one, I just could not pass this up this time. I would have to kick my butt with both feet which would be tough! If you poke around on ebay, you can pick up single shows for decent prices. Of course the whole box set is available there also, but they are all pretty pricey. I have shown this box to my kids and told them what a thing of beauty it is, both outside & inside. A true family heirloom I hope! Rock on

Round one...

Finally finished listening to all the shows. This box set is absolutely incredible. So much good music, so many years. Some shows that stand out to me are 67 (obviously), 77, 89, & 92 (favorite from each decade). The best thing about this box is the later years, in my opinion. All the people that complain not getting anything but the 70's...this is the one. Don't get me wrong. All of the 70's shows are really great, but none really stood out that much to me, I assume, because I've heard so much more from that decade. 85 & 86 are really great shows that sound very similar to anything from the late 70's (besides the keyboard), in my opinion. Besides 67, the 89 show is probably my favorite show in the box...a 29 minute Dark Star in the 80's...not too many others out there and the ones I've heard aren't as weird and spacey as this one. And the 92 show...just surprising all around. I made sure not to look at any of the setlists before listening to any of these shows...so, my mind was pretty blown when they unleashed a Dark Star>The Other One>Standing on the Moon>Lovelight...and it was all just crackling with energy. Really the only show that wasn't outstanding in the box was the 95 show. Lots of good moments, but just not quite the same energy level. I think that show, for just the sake of shows, is a really good one and if I were there, I'm sure I would've had a blast. It just goes to show how great this band really was and It's amazing to think how great they played only a few months before in the 94 show...which is right up there with 92, and 93 for that matter. It must have been incredible traveling around seeing shows in the 90's and then getting something like 10/1/94...ahh, the legend continue...the whole show is great but the H>S>F opener is just exactly perfect...as good as ever really. We could all probably say that this set is enough to last a lifetime, but I guess we wouldn't be true Deadheads if we didn't wish for more. thank you to all who made this box set possible

the Shrine

I've been saving this one for awhile and finally listened to it over the holiday weekend.Daaaaaamn! The inclusion of this show in the box tells me that Dave and company really took this project seriously (master of the obvious, yes). But this sounds so damn good it easily could have been a stand alone show like the Vault series or like To Terrapin or Sunshine Daydream. Yeah, there may be a show or two in the box that might not have seen release otherwise, but there are a ton of gems included and this is certainly one of many. If it's true that the USBs are close to selling out do yourself a favor and buy it. I almost didn't get the box but it is so worth it.

30 Trips 1978

Eyes of the World was cranked up, and my 9 year old asked, "why is it so fast?!?" "Because it's 1978" I replied...

Not to talk about the box being offered here, but...

First time here in a while. Just for fun, I tried "ordering" a bunch of flash drives and it would only let me order 12. I hope for their sake they are about to sell this out. Personally, I'm only up to 1973 in my listening. Hate to say it, but kinda burned out on the GD recently. I'll get it back. :)

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.
