    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.)

    1795 Box Sets Left
    I can put 1795 units in my cart but not 1796. I'm thinking this is going to be a stretch for them to sell off the rest. Presumably, all of the die-hards have ordered theirs already, so a $750 box set now has to be sold to 1795 casual fans. I'm not so sure that's going to happen before the Shipping date. What is going to piss me off is if they reduce the price in an effort to sell the remainders. I can't imagine the turmoil that would create on this forum. Nah, they wouldn't do that....would they? Probably not until after 9/18 (otherwise everyone would cancel their order, right?) I wonder how many of the sales are illegitimate, due to that computer glitch last week. Let's see, even at 4705 units sold, that means they've earned $3,293,500 (th-that's 3 million son). Just ship this shit already, I need a fix. I'm pissed there are no Help on the Way / Slipknot! / Franklin's Towers in any of the 70s setlists. What a jip. And not one show from the month of January, August, or December! Way too many other months represented in this set, but we January, August, and December lovers have to go f@#k ourselves. And if you count Dave's Picks, the January / August drought continues - so we can go double-f@#k ourselves. If you go back as far as Road Trips, there are still no January releases, so we January lovers are given the proverbial triple-go-f@#k ourselves. Make that a quadruple - Dick's Picks features nothing from January either - DID THIS BAND EVEN PLAY IN JANUARY?!? Ah yes, it looks like I have to delve into the Download Series all the way back to almost the 1960s to get my fix of January Dead, with Volume 2, clocking in at 1/18/70 and one of the shows where it all started - Live Dead The Eleven and Lovelight from 1/26/69.

    re: mabarilla 9/11/73 William and Mary
    yea.. but of all the fall '73 horn shows, 9/11 is by far the best. And there isn't really that much annoyance from the horns (comparatively), especially on Let it Grow. This could be the only show where it worked. The Playin', DS and MDew make this rise to the top like cream. Its a great show, Phil is heavy in the mix. Supposedly Hornsby's first show, so in a sense, changed GD history. My copy cuts out during Morning Dew though, and has an audience patch. I wonder what the copy sounds like that's 5 floors down under the vault? 6/10 and 6/30 are killer also. Can't make a bad pick between the bunch. ..also, for what its worth, I that Duke Ellington box looks really good. If I had more scratch, I'd pick it up.

    Just for the fact I have heard on record, the Vault Master state the Horns shows would not be released. Daves 15 my prediction is a selection from 1973 or 1976 A show that will include a few of the following, Stella Blue Eyes Bird Song Playing in the Band I will take 6.10.73 or 6.30.73

A few definetly stick out. 3.9.81 must have been nixed at some point in favor of another show, Could have been a switcheroo for 4.6.82 or RT MSG90 was chosen as the MSG material. 1.2.70 - classic Dark Star and following sequence 6.10.73 - 3 set epic, which a small portion will be featured on Sirius today at 7pm

    Just checked, used copies of the Duke are now going for 400 bucks and new copies are 600. I looked because it sounded like a great set to have. As long as we're talking money, have you seen the prices some want for Pure Jerry disc!

    Felt really bad about this at first. Limited to 6500? Couldn't they have given the 80s guys some relief by not making them have to buy ten 70s shows again? For a total of $700?People tearing their box sets apart before even getting them?But now I have ordered it. And it's all good. This is just too exciting. Can't wait for September. With all those single shows being offered here, everyone might get what he wants. And: A few days ago I realized that the cinema in my Southern German hometown will screen the last Fare Thee Well show on July 6! It won't be live, but anyway. The cinema might sell out quickly because it's rather small, probably a capacity of 50 or so. Never thought I might have the chance to attend such a kind of MUATM here in Germany. They call it "The Grateful Dead In Concert"...

    PT Barnum (and like-minded others) - I am frustrated too,
    but, I understand why it has to be this way. Maybe this will help put it in perspective...... You wrote: "Everything you said I agree with, release the music to the masses and let us purchase what we want when we want it, period. Limited editions is just a marketing tool to get an item sold as quickly as possible." This is the way that they need to do it to 1) make a profit, which they're entitled to, and 2) invest some of that profit into future projects, which provides availability of more shows for Grateful Dead fans in the future (some of which you may approve of). You also mentioned, "I had to laugh when I heard Dave's pitch to Rhino about this set, he stated they all perked up when he mentioned this, do you think it was because of all these great shows being released? or was it the prospect of huge rewards? Something to think about." Well I thought about it, and I decided that while it would be nice to pay one flat rate per show for (say 30 dollars) for whichever shows I wanted, it would benefit me, because I wouldn't be stuck with all of the substandard 80s and 90s shows that are included; but I also know that they are a business, and they're not going to take a loss for any customers - no business does this. And that is what would happen if they adhered to your business plan - assuming a sellout of these box sets before September 18th (which is almost a foregone conclusion), they will have sold 195,000 individual shows (6500 x 30) in 3 months by doing it their way. Your alternative idea, is for them to sell 195,000 individual units in 3 months, which is not going to happen, based on past experience. When you look at the numbers sold by other series, such as Road Trips or Spring 90 (The Other One), they're going to end up with a warehouse full of overstock for a long time. Time is of the essence in business; they may as well burn the money. So, I get your frustration, and believe me, I don't want all 30 shows for $700, I only want 13 for less than half that - but if the alternative is nothing at all - well then I'll just pony up and sell off my overstock on eBay (probably to you), and hopefully pay for my 13 shows with the proceeds - thank you!

    Making all single 30 shows available would be a major production planning headache: how many 90s shows to produce? How many 70s shows? A limited number edition makes perfect sense. Each disc will cost you ~$9 ea, how can anyone call this a cash grab? To give a perspective, the Complete Duke Ellington RCA box set sold for well over $300 when it came out, and contained only 24 discs(and of course, none of the $ went to either Duke or his sidemen since they were all long dead.) Also, if they decided to make single shows available for download, it still would not diminish the value of the box as a collectible(the original Beatles cover has not been devalued because it has been reissued a few years ago.)

    Well I agree with you in that if you want to hear the music it is all there if you can type in archive.org and turn on the computer speakers. I meant being able to hear these shows cleaned up and given the full sonic treatment in all their glory. Some people don't mind listening through tinny computer speakers and I do that a LOT when I want to hear a show I don't have but it makes me want to OWN it that much more. To be able to take it with me wherever i go and enjoy it any time or anywhere I want to. You are completely right though, this is the best time in history to be a deadhead for strictly having access to the music. It's truly incredible how much is available to hear. I can imagine how it must feel to have been listening to barely audible cassettes back in the day just to hear the band live versus what we have now. we are truly blessed!

I have poked around a few random shows but only listened to 1966 straight through. It changed my entire perception of early Dead. Just a wicked performance. I like when Jerry introduces Viola Lee Blues (it's at the end of the track before it.) They all sound a little hesitant to play it.

It literally means "next to last". In street speak it takes on the meaning "second to none" or simply used to describe something utterly appeasing. It is easy to get away with using this word because of it's confusion with "ultimate" by those who don't know any better.

I completely agree with you about Englishtown. The sound definitely turned with that show.I also agree with DL... The sound turned again after their ten day break in spring 1978. I know that everyone has their favorites and liking spring '77 is really easy... Kinda like being a Yankee fan. I genuinely think that people sometimes discount spring '77 because it's always talked about as being great. I go away from it for long stretches and then come back to it in absolute awe. It's mind-boggling at how tight they were at that time. If only they managed to thow a few Dark Stars in there.... Wow!

Agree 100% on the timelines there, including the DL 1978 assessment - stark contrast between DaP 15 and the 30 Trips show, just a few weeks later. WTF happened?!? Is that when Bobby picked up the slide? And yeah, it is mind boggling how tight they are - and also how good the recordings are. Something picked up a notch over '76's recordings, and they definitely lost something by the early 80s. I was raving about the '77 30 Trips show this morning. I have to listen all the way through, wish I had more time.

Um, try again. Listen to Werewolves from 4-24. Or Bertha, 4-19 for that matter. I still think the Dead were 1978 for the whole year, and I listen to a hell of a lot of it. It's one of my favorite years. Bob's tone changes a little on the second leg of spring and continues through the St. Paul, Omaha and 1st Red Rocks shows, but the slide was present on the first leg too. Just ask claney. Slide hell, anyone?

In the liner notes to the 1980 show Dave refers to the show as penultimate, when it's really show #2 of a 4 Show tour.Either it's a Canadian thing, or it's the penpenultimate show of the tour. Sorry for the confusion, it was more of a note to TPTB ;)

Very hit-or-miss for me. When it hits, though... Wow. DaP15 has quickly become one of my favorite releases in a long time.I might be in the minority, but The Egypt shows are a huge miss to my ears. Then they come back to the states for the "From Egypt with love" shows and knock it outta the park.

The whole thing of learning slide guitar from scratch, on stage is a mistery to me. Bob's picking up the slide instead of playing chords is a huge difference in the overall sound of the band in 78. When he played slide behind either Jerry's vocals or guitar leads, it made for a much thinner sound, with much less color.

there's a sparse clarity to the dead's sound in egypt that was truly a one off and incredibly special. it had all to do with the desert air, huge sky, looming sphinx and pyramids. the official dvd reveals the band's energy - to my eyes, jerry never danced so much! too bad billy only had the one good hand. that effected the sound, no doubt. didn't stop his camel steering skills though!

The sound is not optimal and even though it was mutitrack there were still problems. The Hamza parts are nice and Shakedown>Trucking from the 16th is amazing. The best recording of Egypt I have heard is an aud tape of the 16th made by one of the pranksters and has running commentary from Kesey and the bunch including a chorus of "backshish" during the drums and the search for a lost girl, Amy I think, who wandered off by the Sphinx. Man were those people fukked up :) What a nice audio landscape from the perspective of being in the crowd with the Pranksters, not just focused on what's happening on stage. I'm not sure if that tape ever made LMA, I don't think my copy made it through the 1980's.

Super impressed. 1966 - Good early stuff. I enjoy the early shows like this, and it has a lot of songs I'd never heard before. Very enjoyable, even if I wouldn't revisit it much. 1967 - Stellar. This is just top notch. 1968 - More good stuff. A short show. But I enjoyed this a lot. 1969 - Wow. This is as good as anything in the FW69 set. I love this and will re-visit often. 1970 - just started listening. Doing each show 2-3 times before moving to the next year. Love it.

I've listened to '66-'74 and '76. All sound great as do the performances. I haven't listened to '75 due to missing Disc 2 which Dr. Rhino assured me would arrive in 1-2 weeks. I listened to '90 last night and '91 tonight. The sound is good and I'm surprised how inspired the performances are. Bob's slide playing more than likely started during the making of 'Shakedown Street' since it was produced by Lowell George, a slide player second only to Duane Allman. The album was released in 1978 so draw your own conclusions. Does anyone know of him playing slide prior to 'Shakedown'? I've never had a problem with my PO Box as I've had all DaP's as well as both 'Spring 90s' delivered there.

To support the 30 trips shows being otherwise un-releasable in the more common Dave's Picks format: A lot of one or two disc shows in here. I think they found this set as a great opportunity to get stuff out there that wouldn't have seen the light of day in some while. Fine with me!

Boxzilla 3311 has arrived, actually yesterday but didn't have time to post. I patiently waited all day for it to arrive at work, and it arrived safely a hour before I left. 3311, no miracle ( tho I think this box of grate music is a MIRACLE! ) Good shape Blue Checking disks, so far ok Show: Oct 30, 1991, cool, I went to this show! (Can you believe ticket price was $22.50?) Pass: June 16, 1990 Lots of tickets from the October 1991 run, which as you all know, was right after Bill died in a fiery helicopter crash. Wonder why so many from that run? I only streamed two songs while traveling in France this September. I had to do some laundry in my hotel sink, and thought why not listen? I checked out the 1973 show. Since then I have been busy wrapping up my listening to the E72 box for the first time. Love all the conversations and box reviews in this forum! This box is awesome! I just finished listening to 1975, and I was there! What fun. Thanks to all who created this for the wide variety of shows through the years.

Greetings, I have been eagerly awaiting this box set for some time, with near panic ensuing last weekend as I started reading about deliveries last Friday. I was desperate for the box to arrive in time for the weekend, but mine arrived this past Monday instead. All good things in all good time. I have no disappointments. Everything is way cool. I would have been totally bummed had I not made the purchase, even though it was steep. I missed on on FW69, and vowed not to let that happen again. For those of you who did not get the box for whatever reason, well, I understand, but, so glad I did. Its smaller than I thought physically. The art work is cool, and the book is very cool too. The scroll is a big matrix with the years as columns, and songs they played as rows in chronological order of when they played the song, and for how long (by year). Its hard to read, but a nice little historical reference. Seems like some want reviews of shows, and I will post periodically as I progress through the set. I'm starting in chronological order. I've listened to the first 3 shows a few times. I admit, I haven't listened to a lot of 1966, but here's my first impressions: 1966 show (july 3) - So interesting to hear this. Great recording and varied set list. Primordial Dead. Classic 60's sound, in an Austin Powers way. You can tell they are good, but not overly mind blowing about what's to come. Jerry's guitar has no distortion, and lots of reverb but his playing is good and you know its about to burst. Interesting to listen to Billy. The drumming is very good and solid. Phil just started playing bass, and its definitely more of classic bass than his counterpoint playing style that would develop. Bobby not heavy in this mix. They are all still learning here. The thing that's amazing is when you listen to the next show from 1967. 1967 show (Nov. 10) - whoa! This is an amazing show. They have launched. The Viola Lee Blues from the 1966 show in comparison is a good place to understand how far they've come and where they are going. They are stretching out now. The sound quality is stellar here. Maybe the best 1967 show I've heard. Jerry has definitely found the edgy distortion now and plays throughout inspired and sustained. Where does he get the energy and stamina? Incredible stuff! This whole show has energy from start to finish. The drumming is evolving by now too. And it sounds really good. I love listening to the drums from this period. Mickey is blending in well. The drum tones and rhythmic patterns were among the best in their career in this early phase. Bobby is starting to show up more in the mix compared to the first show. A wild Alligator made me smile. I love this stuff. A top show in any collection. 1968 show - This short show is interesting to hear, but not the best 68 show I've heard. It had sound problems throughout which showed up in the mix. About half the inputs were not recorded properly in the first few songs, and there is a loud ground buzz that appears somewhere in the middle. Still, the energy is really good. I need to listen to again, but the 67 show was so good, almost anything after that would be a bit of a let down. Regardless, they are in a prime point in their career, and they are about to launch into what I consider my favorite year, 1969. More to come, if you want. Ciao, Tim

Who do we address issues with the discs we get received. I'm ripping my discs and find that for the '78 Providence show, and found that I have two disc 1's, one disc 2, and no disc 3. Do I contact Dr. Rhino? MaryE? Thanks

Yeah the GD began recording 'Shakedown Street' in July '78. That's why I was asking if anyone knows of Bob playing slide prior to July '78. I don't remember him playing it when I saw them in '77 or '78 for the matter but it's almost 40 years ago and that's many beers, bottles, blotters and bongs ago! How's that for an alliteration? Forgot to add: Box # 6203 Ticket: 10/30/91 Oakland Coliseum Arena - Oakland, CA Backstage Pass: 6/18/93 Soldier Field - Chicago, IL Currently listening to '77 and it sounds great. I've also listened to '90 and '91 and both are worthy additions to this box. The only show I haven't been happy with is '85.

He can be reached at: drrhino@rhino.com. I was missing Disc #2 from the '75 show and he addressed the problem immediately. Good Luck.

Thanks to Alain, JimInMD, antonjo & Born Cross Eyed for giving me your opinions on the Europe 72 Book. Sounds like everyone thinks it's a good one. Now I just have to find one. I missed out on the Trunk and have the music only edition. Glad to hear the Boxes are showing up around the World. Feeling for those who have not received theirs yet. Your patience is being tested "Grately", but hopefully it is just around the corner. So far, I've not been contacted by anyone from Dead.net or Rhino, with a resolution for the "name panel" error on my 30 Trips Box (it has 2 "T.C. Keith" panels and no "Jerry Bob Pig" panel). Have others with damage/defective Boxes received any definitive resolution to their Box issues? If so, from whom did the resolution come?

Apparently I wasn't sharp enough to realize that one of the moons on the box lid was a new moon. Thanks for setting me straight, Jeffsmith. Kind of cool how the names of the earliest band members start in "Spring." It would have been nice if Keith and Donna's names were together on the same side of the box but Keith and TC are the only names on the "Fall" side and they each joined the band in the Fall. Coincidence, or was that planned? Also, I'm a little surprised Bruce's name is not on the box. He was a member for about as long as TC. It's not a big deal but I'm curious about how that decision was made. Listened to the '84 show the last two nights and it sounds great. I'm really enjoying skipping around and taking my time with the shows.

Should your betrothed come out with a losing hand trying to procure the pearls, harp, and diamond ring, would you be true to his dying day...or find another sweet man to treat you with style? The eight-sided whispering hallelujah hat rack is the true grail here. I do hope you'd be willing to share it, though, should my quest prove successful ~ two of the eight sides is my only supplication (that's how many hats I actually wear of the myriad ones perpetually tumbling over each other atop my coat rack).

I finally finished burning all of the disks except for the 2 I received that had big cracks in them. As I figured they were unreadable and just made that tell-tale clicking/grinding noise. Disk 1 of the 75’ show and disk 2 of the 94’ show. The cracks were almost identical in length going from the inside outward. I wanted to burn them all to make sure none of the others had any issues before I contacted customer service. Just got off the phone with cs and I have officially been put on the Dr. Rhino shit be messed up list. I was told that I would be contacted via email within a couple of weeks. Amy said they were compiling a list of all the issues being reported. I haven’t seen anyone report here that they had any issues with their cases. I guess there was one person who said they had a spine splice. I don’t have that but about 9 of my cases had some smudging/spotting/smearing. Some just had a few minor spots but 2 or 3 had quite a few spots front and back. Is anyone else seeing this? I didn’t report it to customer service but when the good dr. reaches out I may ask for some replacements. Normally I wouldn’t bother but since they will be sending me 2 disks anyway it won’t hurt them any to toss in some empty cases.

Muscle from One Man, Spacebro and others won't be necessary, since our own site moderator weighed in just yesterday: "As for cannibalizing OUR wares and hawking them in our house? Really?
