    "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.)

    Yeah, that was the article, "What's become of the Bettys? The fate of the long-lost Grateful Dead soundboards". Interesting article.

    Chasing The Magic => The Monster At Barton Hall
    Eeeeh, if there's anything I'm second most familiar with after E72, it's Spring '77. I've had everything commercially available for a long time, as well as some soundboards of 5/7, 5/8, and 5/9 that are better sounding than many official releases from other years. I can't find the magic in Cornell, compared to everything else. They all sound f@#king fantastic. Even Morning Dew I put to the test on one of my 80 minute commutes to work, cycling through 5/8, 5/22, and 6/7, and I couldn't find anything to elevate 5/8 above 5/22 and 6/7. They all had blistering crescendos with great soloing from Jerry and lighting fast flourishes from Weir (which I was surprised were him - that's one takeaway from the listening session I'm speaking of). I'm all for talking it up, however, because I would love to see them obtain "the tape" and release it in bulk to distributors all over the country as The Monster At Barton Hall. But yeah, Cornell, great show.

    Cornell 77'
    I agree with wjonjd that Cornell might actually be underrated at this point. It's been talked about for so long as being the greatest show ever(mainly by non Deadheads) that a natural backlash occurred but it really is an amazing show as is the next night! I also think it's the best Morning Dew of all time and I've only ever owned an AUD version and I still think that it's the best! Ha! I would snap up an official release in a heartbeat, much like Veneta when it finally came out. I had been wanting that show for so long. They are both probably in my personal top 5 of all time.

    money for tapes
    Yeah, I remember seeing that, too. But, I remember seeing something since then, much more recently, that discussed that they might be getting closer to an agreement. I wish I could remember where. And who know if it was really accurate, anyway?

    Wjonjd / Taper's Section
    Never really realized it or thought about it. The story I was talking about earlier on the hotel room taping experience, got me thinking. Especially about the Betty's and earlier tapes being lost/found/booted. In most ways we owe a lot to Dan Healy. I know he wanted to get the ever increasing Microphone jungle out of his line of sight. Understandable. But he also created the taper's section which naturally meant there was spiderweb of growth in relationships among the taping population. So in many ways, without the taper's section and the friendships that developed, and then the speed at which tapes started to move, the Betty's and others would not have proliferated nearly as fast (or as wide)as they did. Now looking back, it has helped piece together much of the recorded history of GD. By which the many more people who had tapes made sure they would make it to the digital age and where we are today. Amazing to think about, as we gather at the river. I know some bad grammer, forgive me, I am janked on Doc's coffee. I am and was on the side of not holding on to tapes and keeping them for my own little use. That type of thinking is totally against my type of thinking. As Doc and others say, Rock On! Indeed Edit: Question wjonjd, Joel wasn't from Pennsylvania was he?

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!
