    "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.

    *Helpful hints for using your USB:

    Running the 30 Trips Player / Reader program:
    On Windows – Navigate to the USB drive and double click the PCStart.exe file to run.
    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.

    Importing music into iTunes and other library programs:
    When you import the songs from the USB into your library, the information used to identify the track will likely leave them sorted incorrectly. Please use the song list found here to re-number the songs for each show so that they playback in the correct order.

    Lovin' it too
    I'm also lovin'the boxzilla. It was truly an indulgence, and I don't regret it. I'm lucky my girlfriend of over 25 years is so understanding. I get a certain minor thrill when I close the box and it makes a solid sound. I know that sounds silly, but it is true. I'm still into the physical thing, I enjoy looking at the sleeves, and even just seeing the box sitting next to the E72 box on my desk. I have been reading the fan comments in the book, and they are very touching, really special stories about how the band has touched their lives. I am also very sad about the bolt and how poorly bolt buyers have been treated. I feel poorly for each buyer waiting with no word from CS, and I feel poorly for the tarnished reputation of a cherished brand - dead.net. I did have one experience with CS when I changed my shipping address for the box. It took me three emails trying to get it right, before a guy named Jonathan was put on the case and immediatly made it right, apologizing for the other CS rep. So I was fairly happy with my CS experience. I'm up to 1979, with a detour to 11/11/73. That 79 Dancin'>Franklin's is awesome! Man that band Grateful Dead was really something!

    Hey Sam
    I think you misunderstood my comment.. he said he recognized my writing.. and my reply was because it is often riddled with typo's and bad grammar. It was a self derogatory comment. I have nothing but respect for all that serve our country.. especially in trying times like now. The people I know that are / were in the military are sharp people. Its a noble profession filled with highly trained and skilled individuals. If you look at my posts.. they are often riddled with typos and such. I should proof read them more. But I never said I avoided the military because I can write.. the military was just not my calling. ..and neither is teaching English. That's all. I try very hard to be respectful here.. if things come across pointed, that certainly is not my intent. Lastly, thank you UnkleSam for your service. I sincerely appreciate it.

    wow, some nasty comments
    Gosh Unkle Sam - I think it's possible that young men who avoided military service in the '60's were just as brave as those who allowed themselves to be drafted. It takes a lot of courage to understand the depth of what you're doing - risking jail, maybe moving to Canada or Europe with no plan to come back home. Standing up for what you believe in. There's a wide spectrum of response to that war...everybody had to make a choice.There's more than one way to define "do the right thing" in regard to that war.

    yea bad discs and other damages
    I am currently at a Standoff with 10.20.68 ,, I want to listen in chronological order (1966-1968 Pigpen is the star of the show) and could have been a sweet 3 show mini box. 1969 is where I have to cease my 30 Trips due to damages. But I still have a reserve of GD skull splitters to keep me busy. Sirius, Tapers Section, JOTW, 30 Days of Dead !! and the 81 disc skull splitter set that I got in early summer. I guess 81 discs is one too many because whoever decided on counts for CD cases went with an 80 disc holder. Might be a good investment to get an 80 disc case holder for the 30 trips set for those who want to handle the digi packs less.

    wow, some nasty comments
    on this site, just want to comment :) Sorry for all who do not have the bolt, but there is a way to get it all back, don't pay for it, wait till it comes, then declare it is a faulty product, cancel your credit card order and don't pay. If you have a good card carrier, this should be no problem. Some one here said they avoided the military because they had good grammar and could spell and type without typos. And who do you thank for your freedom? Your English professor? Maybe one day you will need someone who is not a coward and is not afraid to do the right thing, unlike some, who take it all for granted. Vietnam vet here and if you had been around back then and old enough to serve, you would have found someway out of it, right? College deferment? Rich parents? Littering? Or like some, fake a suicide or say you are gay? Or would you be one of the ones who spit on the returning troops? Thanks for your support, with Amerikans like you, who needs enemies.

    if I combine the 2 boxes.. I have 1 pristine 30 Trips set
    @mbarillaDid your sets have skips and such? I'm listening in order and am up to 1992 and haven't had a bad disk yet. Which frankly amazed me, considering how many bad disks I've had from Dead.net in the past. I just figured they got their QC act together finally.

This offering from 30 Trips is a classic Bruce/Vinnie show! The whole fall 1990 tour really. For a band who just hired two new players this tour has some mighty fine moments. New York to the UK and more! Good stuff!
