    "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.

    A nice gesture would be if they were all made to contain miracle scrolls.

    If I could drive my box down to GA, I would. So sorry all. I think whoever posted that the unshipped boxes have not been delivered by manufacturer or production is probably right. Makes sense. Unfortunate, I can only hope when yours is delivered, you are as pleased as I was. Hang in there.

    No love over here in Cabbagetown (ATL) either. But ya know what? I don't care that much. I'm on a huge Miles Davis kick right now anyway. And for some reason, my streams still work -- good for background music while executing chores!

    Mags72 - they aren't telling
    Mags72 - they aren't telling you the truth. I am also in GA and I ordered mine within minutes of getting the email announcing the box. I STILL do not have it. One of the supervisors told me last week that they haven't finished making them all yet. Not sure what to believe at this point. What a colossal screw up. No way in hell am I going to let them do this to me again - I'm going to cancel my order for the Fare The Well box and just get the best of set at Criminal Records. At least I'll get it when everyone else does. You wait - I'll bet we get Dave's Picks before we get the box.

    a good '78 Let it Grow
    From around the same time as Dick's Picks 18, Chi-town 1/31/78. Both the AUD and SBD are good listening. I'm personally careful with this one though, some of Jerry's licks have a certain earworm quality to them for me, much more so than other versions of this song.http://relisten.net/grateful-dead/1978/1/31-5/let-it-grow P.S. I've finally jumped into 30 trips. First show I went for was Cobo Hall '76. Highly impressed with it, though hard to get used to the edits between songs in the first set. No interminable pauses between songs. It's probably like this on the master, it's still a little weird to go from song to song in the first set without a break between songs where there would normally be one. Also, besides the well known China Cat tease out of Not Fade, I'm pretty sure I heard Bob play a few notes of it as well in the jam out of Good Lovin'. All in all, a very nice show with some x factor showing up from Scarlet Begonias on through to the end of the show. One of the things I like about '76 is that some shows exhibit a little taste of '74 (like Playing in the Band and also the Phil soloing into the Dancing in the Street reprise) and foreshadowing of '77 (heavy during Scarlet Begonias). I was also able to get a good chunk of listening in on 10-21-83. Cumberland Blues in the first set really stood out for me, as well as the drum solo and space leading into Truckin'. I stopped listening after Truckin' so I will have to recue the segment right about there when I'm ready to resume listening. The next show after that one will probably be Lindley Meadows.

    Yeah '78 has some gems. DaP 15 is a fantastic show. It's also cool to hear the later in the year shows with songs from Shakedown Street . The Closing of Winterland has some nice stuff on it - Stagger Lee, and I Need A Miracle are outstanding (is that Bobby playing slide on Stagger Lee? if so, it's one of the times it truly sounded good; but there are so many guests on that show, I'm not sure). There is also that wonderful return of Dark Star that goes into TOO. DP 18 of course is solid all the way through - love the Music Never Stopped, Estimated Eyes, Samson with extended intro jam, and the Playing -> Wheel. Some nice moments on the Egypt compilation - Iko, lone Fire on the Mountain (really like this), and Shakedown Street. Also have not gotten to the 30 Trips show from '78 yet...

    I've always liked the 8/22/93 Autzen version. The entire show is pretty good, too. I lost my friends going in, and when we met up after the show, it turned out we were about three people away from each other the entire show and didn't know it.

    Lovin' this box so far! I'm going chronologically. Dream Bowl is magical. Side note: there are three CDs or sets that stand out in my mind for the Summer of '92 and they are One From The Vault, Without A Net and Evening With The ABB. Nuthin' but the finest of quality. Peace. Oh yes and Phil you've been in my thoughts lately. Get well!

    Still waiting in ATL, cont.
    Called customer service again today, was transferred to speak with a supervisor. Was again told that orders were being shipped out in the order of when they were placed and that all the boxsets should be shipped by the end of month. Now, either people in Georgia and Florida are the only ones being vocal about not receiving their box, or someone is not being truthful here. I'm curious if anybody living in other states or outside the southeast is still waiting.

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!
