    "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.)

    possible anymore , after now half of the trips listened to i can`t tell which is " best ".Thought in first listening sessions i dislike the 86 trip but especially the second set grows on me - that hypnotoc drums , the lyrical space and Jerrys guitar tone is a monster. On the other hand the 75 is really epic.....i am dwelling in my sonic area like a king these days. Only thing i fear is....when i have gone through all shows

    10/20/68 & Somethin' Else
    (in reverse order) Dantian, I'd forgotten all about Somethin' Else ~ my old roommate picked that one up some years ago, when we were really hitting the jazz of that late 50's/early 60's era. A gem indeed, that you've reminded me ought to be in my collection. Okay, I'll pay it forward to anyone who's never heard.... Brilliant Corners ~ Thelonious Monk (another one he turned me on to--would be in my top three or four desert island jazz discs) 10/28/68 ~ Did someone really not like this one? A powerful, slightly condensed shot of vintage Grateful Dead in their most psychedelic, and arguably heaviest, year. Schoolgirl's jam finds a space quite beyond the standard Blues planet, and Lovelight's is the Allman Brothers a year before their debut. Phil's harmonies on the Dark Star choruses are quintessential, and he's a bass-playin' fool on Eleven -> Caution. The explosion into Eleven out of William Tell is just that...the drummers set it up and the band knocks it, and us, into the Eleven Dimension. They're in the thick of creating, exploring and inhabiting their muse, their magic, and their legend right here. And Pigpen's organ is pretty wicked throughout. Love when he was still hitting it this hard. Sugar Shack shit, my @$$.

    I sent an email to Dr.Rhino@rhino.com. I included my name, order #, address, basically anything that I thought would help make their job easier. It took a couple of days to hear back from him and then a week or so later he sent me an email letting me know he had put my missing disc in the mail. A couple of days later it arrived. If you haven't heard anything back, I'd send another email.

    Fair points (but hurtful) in the recent "eras" critique, but....
    ...6/18/83 second set defies all the points made.I know that finding an exceptional show does not change the overall view, but these exceptional shows deserve attention! If you already have 25 AMAZING GDM-provided '72-74 Playing In The Band performances, is a 26th more worth hearing than a strong Throwing Stones > NFA > Touch Of Grey? But enough of the inflammatory rhetoric. I musta caught Ben Carson disease... The real point is: tuning 1:52 Scarlet 13:06 > Fire 12:35 tuning 1:20 Playing 18:24 > Drums 5:20 > Space 7:52 > Wheel 6:07 > Playing Reprise 4:10 > Dew 11:18 pause 0:50 Stones 8:57 > NFA 6:40 > Touch 6:20. Timings all mine. Don't know what the vault status is, but a matrix with the Jeff Silberman AUD would cure almost any quality problems. For my money, the '83 Scarlet Fires are just as majestic as the '70s performances. Any wear and tear in Jerry is balanced by Mickey's lead work with his exotic percussion toys. This Playing stays in the jam '72 style instead of floating into a fourth pre-Drums song, breaking two "phoning it in" rules at once. The Space > Wheel transition is ethereal and celestial, the Dew peaks in roaring waves, the NFA is '64 Stones style, and the Touch has nothing in common with the toy-store-orchestra sound of the album track. That's Saratoga Springs, NY 6/18/83. Aud available on Live Music Archive. (Oh, gee! New series to supplement Dave's Picks: 3 times each year, 4 discs with 2 80s shows in each release. Call it Exceptional Eighties!)

    How long ago you report the missing disc?
    I am missing a complete show and the 7" single. I reported it immediately, but still have not received anything in the mail yet. Just curious. How and to who did you report it to? I sent an email to dr rhino and dead.net.

    Thoughts...
    Hi all, I'm working my way from the beginning, as many are. It is cool to hear the progression of skills and songs as time passes. My thoughts so far: 1966: Phil lead bass, Bobby plays basic rhythm, fun to hear odd unknown songs "keep rolling by", Pig is great on Midnight hour, Bill Graham closes the show saying "Let's hear it for Pig". 1967: Multitrack sounds great. 1st set is good to great, 2nd set-WOW! Caution>Feedback, Aligator, Early lyrics for TOO, New Potatoe Caboose is so loose and psychedelic-Cool jam! 1968: Mix takes a while to zero in. Cool Pig keys on Caution, hilight is DS>11>Caution. 1969: Disc 1 is awesome. 1970: Disc 1 is ok, Disc 2 is the good stuff. Cryptical>Too>Cryptical>Dancin' 1971: Truckin'>D>TOO>WR, Caution>Feedback 1972: Bird song, Great 2nd set opener: GSET>Bertha>Promised, Tomrrow is Forever is a sweet rare duet with Jerry and Donna. Bass is up in the mix, as is Kieth, it's great to hear him clearly with his great fills. DS>Chinacat>Rider! 1973: WHAT A SHOW!! Here comes sunshine is the highlight of set one. BTW Jerry fans his guitar at the end, pretty cool. TOO Sandwitch is awesome, CC>Rider has great Phil bombs, Kieth plays great on closer GDTRFB>Sat. What a bounty of musical riches!

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!
