    "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.

    Weir's 1980's vocals
    Is it just me or does Weir's nutty screeching vocals drive anyone else crazy? I have to skip some of those songs. It's so obnoxious to me! 1988's Estimated Prophet for example. 1987's Good Lovin' also. He's trying too hard. His older vocals were much better, but in the '80's it seems like he felt a need to prove something. He desperately wanted to become the front man, was jealous of Jerry's front man status, and since he didn't have the talent to do it for real, he just screams a lot. OMG it's tiring. Is it just me?

    How long does it take to "polish" a USB drive? Dead.net and Rhino... UPDATE those of us who have paid and are sitting here reading these glorious reviews without being able to make our own notes.

    Now I have it rbmunkin, this Other One is as good as advertised. Jerry really turned up the Blues dial here, while Weir, Lesh, Pig, and Co pound out the rhythm; rock 'n blues. I'm going to have to circle back to 4/15/70 and sort this all out....

    Uh...no, not jacking anyone....I had 80 minutes and was picking the most appealing 80 minutes of the electric set list for the drive home...I was just wondering if the magic was ascertainable in what I selected. I didn't end up listening to it due to this got damn '73 kick I've been on. Ended up listening to DP 14. Listening to Harpur now. The Cosmic and Casey are definitely smooth. Good Lovin' jam is really nice, I'm beginning to feel the appeal. Man's World just started, watch out. I think this, Morning Dew, and Viola will complete my journey to the Dark Side. I'm sure this is all a big misunderstanding emanating from too much Dead and not enough time. What I really need to do is quit my job and start from the beginning. I actually bought this one after reading how hot The Other One is on Heady Versions (probably novembereleven and rmunkin right?) Not a big deal, but almost sounds like this is in mono....

    '84 30 Trips show.
    Checkin' out the '84 30Trips show. That second set, especially from Uncle Johns Band(!) through the end of the show is very toasty. The opening Stranger smokes, too.

    Harpur Charlie (or Cosmic Harpur)
    My Harpur College tape is why I always pined for a Cosmic Charlie bring-out...the definitive arrangement & performance. Even though Jerry all but said they wouldn't do it again, I still always thought they would. (In the years without Jerry, I've seen the others play nearly all the psychedelic songs from 67-69...but Cosmic Charlie, and New Potato, shall remain the rings that just slipped away. Of course, I never imagined I'd see Phil singing What's Become of the Baby...!) Other awesome Charlies I've been enlightened to in recent years are 1/02/70 and Thelma 12/11/69. Thanks, Dave, for that awesome pair of Dec '69 bonus discs!!! Honorable mention to the 5/15/70 one on RT 3.3, perhaps unsurprisingly given its proximity to 5/02. Does anyone else remember those Cosmic Charlie t-shirts, with a tie-dyed Charlie Brown lying on his back having a Sunshine Daydream with the rest of the gang dancing around him?

    Great posts! I'm still only just on San Diego 73 in 30 Trips (listening now). But you've inspired me to give Harpur another chance - like Keithfan, I never "got" that one before, but it's been years since I pulled it out. Will do soon! (Maybe after a couple more 30 Trips shows).

    novembereleven: "the Cryptical->Other One->Cryptical->Cosmic Charlie is to me, since my first listening a few decades back, the single greatest and most exciting piece of Grateful Dead music I've heard. Nothing else is even close." All I've got to say is "ditto". But let me elaborate: back in the '70's I had suit cases full of cassette tapes of Dead shows. I lost them in Seattle at one point. Very sad. But I STILL have the 5/2/70 show. Why did ONLY that one survive in my possession? Back then it was the greatest show I ever heard so I always had it separate from the rest, I guess. And it's been the greatest to me ever since.

    ....to quote Mr. Diddley on DP 30...i.e. Academy of Music 3.25.72...."I enjoy them all". Actually the song is titled "I've Seen Them All", but if the shoe fits....

    I assume KeithFan isn't trying to jack with us, but the response would seem to reflect someone who is. I'll preface this response by saying this stuff is certainly subjective. But the Cryptical->Other One->Cryptical->Cosmic Charlie is to me, since my first listening a few decades back, the single greatest and most exciting piece of Grateful Dead music I've heard. Nothing else is even close. It's loud and raucous, joyous yet angry and grungy before grunge was in the vernacular. I can ID any part of this show with little more than a 5 second sample. It's all great, but the aforementioned jam is just pure bliss. Now having had similar negative or neutral reactions to certain shows, I'd recommend Keith putting this one away for a few days and waiting till you are in a good (doesn't have to be great) mood. If 5-2-70 takes hold...well...just give it another chance....

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!
