    "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.

    Tapes..
    I always thought I had a killer tape collection back in the day. History can be harsh.. looking back with clear reflection it was laughable. I did have the best collection of anyone I knew.. but most of my friends weren't heads. I would trade w/ anyone that had an interest though.. I also remember the day I got Cornell (among others) and who I got it from (thanks Mike). It was in the '80's, likely not too long after it started circulating widely. That batch of tapes moved to the top of the list.. just in time for the summer me and my and gf hopped in my Toyota and drove cross country seeing as many shows and climbing as many cliffs as we possibly could. ..and look at us now, what a wealth of great music at our fingertips. Its good to be the king.

    More Tape Trading!
    Thanks for the clarification KayakGuy. I got Eaton's role mixed up with Ken Genetti's. I love this quote about what Ken Genetti said when he saw the stash of Betty's that the co-conspirators had (from the relix article): "Genetti shared the couple’s intention to spread the musical wealth, although initially he advocated for an aggressive, populist twist. “I told them: ‘You know what? It would be really great if you look in Relix and Golden Road, where there are these ads for people saying, ‘Just starting my collection; please help.’’ I was thinking: If only we could send out these to those people. Then, all of a sudden, those people, the newbies, would have all these tapes that nobody had. It would flip the whole scales upside down because I was so sick of these hoarders who had a whole closet of stuff that nobody could find and they would never show you what it was.”

    @prafter - tape trading culture
    Yeah, I will never completely understand the mindset of folks like that. It's not far removed from the mindset of "I can make you a copy of this, but you can't make one for anybody." There were people who would "cut you off" if they found you had made copies for anyone. It was part of a social hierarchy of having the best tapes. Quite a bit has been written about it, and I think one of the Compendiums may discuss this aspect of the tape trading culture. The total opposite of the GD culture I was immersed in. It may have started because Latvala (and probably others) who had access to the vault sometimes made copies for folks, and requested that they not spread them around, but those reasons had more to do with their feeling at the time that the tapes weren't really theirs to "spread around." This was NOT the motivation behind this behavior by that portion of the "trading elite" that lived by those rules, but I suspect that their attitude may have had its genesis because of this. In any case, it's great that others with "elite" access didn't feel this way. Also, that after Latvala passed, those who had copies directly from him (these are folks who had much better motives for their behavior) felt that they were now free to pass the tapes on freely. And then there's the Eaton tapes of the Betty's, where they went out of their way to undercut the "social hierarchy" traders specifically, by trying to make sure they were spread far and wide.

    wjonjd re Cornell and tapes
    I became acquanted with a couple of tape traders who'd transfer Reel to Reel to cassette...they would always stop your tape at some point, while the Master rolled, to give you a drop-out in sound, so you couldn't sell (¿wtf???) their recordings. annoying as hell.

    I will have to add this to my list. It sounds like it will go well with Kreutzmann's autobiography, also on my list of soon to be read books.

    USB Blues, try THRAK to clear the palette
    This is for the guys and gals awaiting the USB version, if you have any cash left over. Just picked up the King Crimson THRAK box. If you are inclined to that music (or are open to it), this is a great way to clear your head for 30 Trips. Completely different, and definitely great. Like any other ambitious collection, some flaws, and King Crimson purists might not care for the remastering, but for everyone else interested, a fabulous set. Especially interesting (aside from the concerts and versions of the original album), the engineer/artist assembled and created two cd length compositions based on outtakes etc. Just a suggestion for something to listen to while waiting for GDM to put together perfect sets for us!

    I've been reading Blair Jackson and David Gans' just published Oral History of the Grateful Dead the past two days. I'm now up to 1970. It's a very, very enjoyable read.

    Just curious, is your screen name a nod to the Farseer Trilogy? Wondering as I just picked up the first book of the trilogy and haven't read it yet. Currently reading NeuroTribes, but after that it will be time for some fiction.

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!
