    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.)

    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:

    USB
    Outsourced or not, the USB is a fiasco. More than two months after it was supposed to be delivered, still no useful update. Some of us bought it instead of the box to try and keep things minimal. The sound quality isn't likely to be a noticeable difference to these aging ears. I am glad for those that can hear the difference, but truth be told I just don't need to rip another massive list of CD's and store stuff as I downsize. So I paid a lot of money for a product that had less than the same price for all the extras. That is ok - I am a big boy and make my own decisions, and honestly $700 is a lot but not a life changer (which should be a BIG concern to Rhino, I buy a lot because I can, so treat me well!!). Saying we are a family and don't narc to the BBB is pretty silly. Rhino is a business. And for some -some of the very same who screamed bloody murder about their boxes delays - to say "just be cool, nobody is out to get you" seems a little bit much. Even for those who ordered the USB and are cool with waiting however long it takes. You pay your money, you are treated badly, at least be allowed to make your complaints. That is always how I treated my customers - if me or my team screwed up, they have the right to let me know. Anyway, I will wait and enjoy when I get it - but it hasn't been handled well. I renewed Dave's another year, received the extra chotchkies i bought already and will move on. But those who complain have the right. JimInMD - you didn't happen to be in the Air Force in the 1980's did you? You write like a Jim in Md I knew back then who was a deadhead. Y'all enjoy, life is short.

    Re: icecrmcnkd / USB Blues
    I agree with icecrmcnkd, this product was obviously outsourced. Complaining isn't going to get them here any sooner because there's no product 'here' to be shipped. Live and learn, Rhino.. Sorry for all the folks who are stuck in the crobbopple. I sincerely hope it comes soon. I'm not sure what the better business bureau is going to do as its a pre-order that's just late. By the time the wheels get moving on a formal complaint its gonna be shipping. I suspect you could probably cancel and get a refund then time a re-order for when the product actually starts shipping. I don't see this selling out instantaneously or anything..

    It is well documented that the BBB is on the take. Money gives a higher rating and if you don't pay, they slam you.

    Gary Farseer and USB
    D&C free live stream from 11/7/15 is on YouTube. No USBs and no info is a disgrace. My guess is that GDM outsourced it all and can only sit back and say WTF. But that is not an excuse for not giving the customers an update, especially since the customers are addicts who buy lots of stuff from dead.net.

    Awesome. Wish Hackett would come this way. DSO2500 bet that was fun. Still have not heard D&C should I be looking for tapes?

    Searching for the sound limited bonus CD
    Dennis Wilmot, you asked what was on the CD that came with Phil's book. As usual, the indispensable Grateful Dead Family Discography site had the answer, thereby saving me the trouble of typing all the info from my copy. http://www.deaddisc.com/disc/Searching_For_The_Sound_Bonus_CD.htm

    “Are YOU waiting for the USB ?” You got me there Outpost. I received my box three weeks ago – you’re right, there’s no way I can imagine what it’s like to be one of you BoltHeads waiting in the dark. Empty as it sounds, I truly hope this resolves soon. In my last post, I was hoping to deflect some of the unwarranted heat from the CS folks in the trenches. And, as I said, I don’t think any of us are impressed with the recent lack of communication from TPTB. A lot of the angst could probably have been avoided with a little timely information during the various delays. Still, I’m glad they stuck their necks out and took a chance on doing something special for the 50th. I hope that we’ll soon be able to look back and be grateful for the killer music and that much of the sting of having to wait for months will be left behind.

    I hear ya on the venues. Where I live they are building a small outdoor stage set up with multiple brewer/beer gardens/restaurants attached. Will hold 1,500-1,800 people for the burgeoning of smaller touring acts say like mule, or DSO, or TTB. Problem no seats. Stand, blanket, take your pick. My old bones just can't do the standing thing for 3 hours anymore. Dang making my athritic knees hurt now.

    Bummer for the continued delays on USB, lack of communication makes a bad situation worse. Anyone have a conversation with Dr Rhino on it? My dealings with Dr Rhino have always been positive. Issues I've experienced in the past was always corrected to my satisfaction... Got to see Dead & Co in Worcester, great show. Can't compare to seeing one of my favorite show with Jerry at the helm, but it was enjoyable. Saw two great shows this past week - DSO's 2500 anniversary show - was an elective show - they did an awesome Cumberland Blues. The real treat for me was the Ruben and Cherise in the middle of a Music Never Stopped / Scarlet Begonias sandwich (TMNS>SB>R&C>SB>TMNS) to close first set. Nice Dark Star tease into Dark Star in the second set. Last night saw Steve Hackett at Lynn Memorial Auditorium, another really good show. His singer was a genetic vocal twin to Gabriel for the material they performed. Not sure if Steve plucked him from The Musical Box cover band or not but very spine tingling vocals. The woodwind player was extraordinary as well. Thanks Jim for convincing me to go... Nothing beats live music - highly recommend those three shows. As for the boxzilla sequential listen, up to 77 and still loving it. Have a great weekend!

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!
