    "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.)

    Incarcerated Client: Why the big grin, am I getting getting out jail? Me: I just listened to this killer Dead show from 1976. It opened with Bertha, which threw me because Deadbase X lists the opener as Sugaree. The opening disc was strong, my favorite being Scarlet, which was interesting because it sounds like Jerry missed a verse, but rather than starting to sing mid verse, he waited, the band jammed, and he picked it up soon after. The second disc had an interesting Samson, because Jerry doesn't play the typical notes; I'm guessing but I think the song was still a work in progress and he hadn't put it all together quite yet on those notes we know so well. Disc 3 was phenomenal! I love those opening notes of Wheel, but the highlight was Not Fade Away which begins with almost 4 minutes of jam before the verse, and more jamming with Jerry playing the opening riff of China Cat, you can hear the crowd cheering but the band returns to Fade Away, it was awesome and that's why I'm smiling! Incarcerated Client: Ya man, but am I getting out of jail? Me: What? With your record? Hell no! This is your sixth conviction for theft, you're doing 30 days which is a gift, don't you know Walmart has like 100 cameras in their store? You might as well wear a sign into the store that says, "I am about to shoplift." I'll come visit ya next week though, 1968 is up next!

    Of Yoko and child abuse
    I gotta say I never got what the few people besides John saw in Yoko's vocals. In truth she was pretty pathetic. The exception to this would be Cold Turkey. Her vocals definitely give voice to the torment of that. To the poster that was upset about the analogy about Donna and the abusive father stop looking for offense. I read the post and he didn't trivialise child abuse he was making a comment that while others might have phrased it another way is felt by a majority of Heads. What is truly offensive and of no question is threats don't belong on this site.

    this post by snafu really sums up a lot...i am thoroughly enjoying 30 trips. i've really enjoyed every show, and there are ones that rise to the (current) top, the listening and thinking about the shows reinforces many already stated observations and aspects of the dead. there is a joy in discussing the pros and cons of this show, that show, this song, that song, etc....few (no?) other bands have this legacy. enjoy these wonderful recordings! it is 30 daves picks at once! high praise

    Today is the anniversary of yet another 30 Trips show. Too bad it's not loaded on my phone yet and I have to go to work. Three more coming up soon as well: '79, '89, '90.

    observations on 30 trips
    Well I've had the box for 8 days now and would like to make some personal viewpoints. These are mine and only mine. Others will act or appreciate in their own way which is just fine. At 1st I was a little skeptical about the concept of 1 show a year, but have come to feel it really was the way to go. It really helps those oldies like me who have been at it since Captain Trips and relative to actual newbies gain an understanding of the growth and changes they went through over the 30 years they existed. While as I said I've been into them since almost the beginning and have been to many shows and have many shows on tape and disc I am not at the in depth knowledge level some here clearly are. so the box helps me remember or understand the difference between 76 and 77 or 66 67 & 68. While those who have studied the shows and differences may well be able to point to a better show from a specific year I feel they have done a really good job of presenting quality shows for each year ( I am listening to 78 right now ). I also feel that for most people a chronological listening is the best way to go. Excluded from this would be the people who have an encyclopedic knowledge of their shows. But then again even they might benefit from such a listening. I must say from audio quality and musical quality the producers have done a fine job. It's truly amazing listening to this and how good it is. In closing I would just like to say outside of 1 or 2 weak releases over the years we have really benefited from fine and moderately priced product

    The Weight and random ditties
    Those performances of The Weight with Brent are the unmistakable glint of gold in the miner's pan. This song, atleast to me, never regained it's former gravitas after Brent. Kind of wish I transferred the 30 Trips recordings in a more 21st century fashion, compared to the time consuming real-time recordings I'm in the midst of. That said, 27 down and only 3 left to go- 1974, 1980 and 1982. Was trying to record in order, but ended up with an ad-hoc desperate proceeding. It all turned out okay...Will be nice when all that's left is to listen.

    In my 30 Trips box. Come to think of it, I also didn't get the usual packing invoice from Dead.net for the box. Unless, in my excitement, the invoice and sticker were flung under the couch while I unpacked the mega-box.

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!
