    "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.)

    Viewing the digital book:
    You can either view it within the program that comes on the drive, or by opening the PDF directly.

    The Dave's Pick Rumor of Greek 1984 is based
    on a post in this thread from October 21 at 5:05pm where there was a spotting on dead.net of a banner saying that Dave's Pick 17 would be July 13, 1984 at the Greek, which apparently was immediately taken down. I posted a copy of this on my Dead blog http://gratefulseconds.blogspot.com/2015/10/daves-picks-17-berkeley-gre… My raising of the rumor is based on several actual dead.net readers seeing this banner. I do not know if it is true, but it would be cool. I'd still prefer the 1982 Greek shows or the 1972 Berkeley High School (Community Theater) shows

    DAVE L WAS RIGHT
    Dave's comments on the inside cover on 1978 were right. Take a real good listen on this one. He said that Looks Like Rain is "of particular interest" Boy was he right. I would say EXQUISITE sounding comes to my mind. Donna was quite lovely in the background. Bob was flawless.

    just a quick update
    Today I had the chance to listen to the rest of set I, and all of set II for the '77 trip. While it was good, it wasn't end to end mind-blowingly fantastic (some out of tune moments in Wharf Rat). Still very good and I am 100% pleased with the choice. The band seems happy to be back at the Palladium as well, as evidenced by Phil's 'thank you, nice to be back' before the encore. The return to Playing in the Band is classic. That cacophonous climax and subito is awesome. I was also able to get in the first set from the '78 trip and I am highly impressed by it. For me, TLEO, Looks Like Rain, and Let it Grow were the highlights of a great first set. Onward to the second set tomorrow and who knows where else whim may lead with this superb set.

    So, I noticed....
    ....I was playing Oxford '88 and had Waterbury '72 on deck. Had both cases opened on top of my stack. The main and secondary colors are transversed! Awesome!! Perhaps sensing a trend? ...on deck. Royals are taking care if business.... Edit kids. My 14 yr old kid loves Franklin's, Fire and US Blues. Mrs. Vguy loves the same. Still trying to expand their horizons....

    Breakthrough!
    Child #4, the 11 year old, came into the kitchen while I'm cooking and blaring Shakedown from 1991. She exclaims, "I like this song!" and starts dancing with her moves and shakes. She doesn't realize the thousands of dollars she just inherited, from music to cookie jars to autographs. Fourth time was a charm!

    The Replacements
    This talk of "replacement" boxes is making me nervous. How does anyone know they need a "replacement" when some boxes apparently haven't shipped (or haven't reached their destinations)? I'm getting a sinking feeling now, and I've never had one single problem from Deadnet/Rhino before. My turn I guess. The emails have been sent. The lame replies have been received. The streams are mocking me.

    Box vs DaP16
    Which will I get first? Emailed customer service today regarding my hypothetical Box. Got an email confirming receipt of my inquiry email regarding my Box. Did not get an email confirming existence of said Box.

    30 Trips Box Set
    Working my way thru the Box from the beginning. I am enjoying this thoroughly. Especially liking the 70' & 71' shows, Top notch! I would have liked to see a little more of Alligator (Only the 67' show). There was a solid representation of Dark Star & at least 4 shows have The Other One. Don't get me wrong, always liking "Other ones" but 1 more BIG Alligator would have been Nice.

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!
