    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.)

    Maybe a little off-topic
    This might be a little off-topic, but Minas' post got me to thinking about DP8. If I'm not mistaken, most if not all of that show is recorded only in monophonic. I remember reading a story where Dick Latvala, very early in the Dicks era, mentioned to some of the folks involved, including engineers, how great the Harpur show is. They responded by laughing that he must not know a good tape, because that one was in mono, and not a great recording even so. Of course, Dick, like many of us, always valued the performance significantly more than the sound quality. In any case, years ago there was an attempt by record companies to offer simulated stereo versions of older recordings that had only been recorded in mono. Back then, this simulated stereo was really bad, and the idea never really never took off. However, with modern digital technology this need not be the case. A company called Pristine Classical offers their version of stereoized versions of older mono classical recordings. I don't remember what they call their process, but they describe the process on their website. Even though the purist in my cringed, I tried a couple of these, and you know what? They sound great. Very natural, as if they were originally recorded in stereo, giving the result a much more spacially natural presentation when played. My question is, since this is can be done very well now, do you think most deadheads would rather get the best mastering possible of the Harpur show, but essentially left as it is in mono, or do you think folks would be willing to give a stereozation a shot? Personally, I wouldn't mind paying to get a professionally stereoized version of this show.

    what 970jbob said
    "These new cds are of unreal sound quality in General. Not sure what the dead or Jeffrey Norman starting doing in mastering in the past year or two but I am eternaly grateful." I agree - these sound so good, it's like some new technology was implemented. I would like to see some Dick's Picks remasters with the 30 Trips treatment. Let's get Dick's Picks 8 sounding like the 30 Trips Winterland 1970 show; let's get Dick's Picks 1 sounding like 30 Trips San Diego 1973; let's get Dick's Picks 3 sounding like 30 Trips Possaic '77 (I mean wow, this 1977 show is fantastic, probably the best sounding '77 show - put Peggy-O on the headphones). Even the DaP 15 show from 4/22/78 sounds eons better than DaP 7 from 4/24/78. Performances two nights apart, releases two years apart; I know, there's something going on says Frida.

    re: jbob
    Thanks jbob. Now if someone will come forward with my missing Fox Theatre '77 tape.. that will complete the run of misplaced tapes from my stay at Martha's Vineyard. Reminds me to be careful with my Dave's Picks while driving through Massachusetts. (kidding) As for the Augusta '84 show, that's Quasimodo on lead guitar and vocals.. Jerry called in sick that day. Man that guy can play the guitar!

    With the grace of God we all
    With the grace of God we all can be forgiven. I too committed a terrible missdeed I must confess to you now. It was the summer of 1989 and was also coincidentally on Martha's vineyard as well. Was at a rich spoiled kids house party and took one cassette on the way out. It was an incredible recording of Fillmore East Dark Star Lovelight with the allman brothers. This tape turned so many people onto the dead in college it was incredible. I have felt guilt but let it go as an act of rebellion as a wayward youth. I wish this could be an official release Dave lemeiux ??? Life is about moving on and forward. Couldn't afford the box but have gotten 1968 1979 1983 1984 1988. All great in their own way. Love the matrix recordings of 79 83 84. These new cds are of unreal sound quality in General. Not sure what the dead or Jeffrey Norman starting doing in mastering in the past year or two but I am eternaly grateful. Also the 1984 show is top notch all the way but to see what Jerry Garcia actually looked like, poor condition physically all hunched over barely moving is nutty but obviously mentally he was all there. https://youtu.be/3cgc7Srb_Jw

    This song turned my 4-year-old son on to the Grateful Dead (or the Skeleton Band, as we call them). He loves it. One time, I put the song on and set iTunes on to the "Classic Visualizer." We sat, listened, and watched as my son ooh-ed and aah-ed at all of the cool shapes,color, and patterns on the screen. Kinda reminded me of the digital images they'd put up on the screens at Dead shows. I'm so proud!

    The 83 Worcester show
    I just finished listening to the second set of this again, and christ jesus i can't fathom how anyone wouldn't get off on this show. It's fantastic. Has one of the best drums-space they ever did, and the whole set rocks and rolls and jams and takes off. Someone commented earlier at there being no creativity in Jerry's playing on this show. Listen to the second set of this show with headphones and play it loud (there are parts of this where the wisdom of moving sharp edged furniture out of your immediate vicinity will be apparent), and then re-read that last sentence. I LOVE this show.

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!
