    "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.)

    You're not entitled. If you don't agree with the majority, you're WRONG, man! Honestly, I thought I was in the minority enjoying Donna. And she really has grown on me in recent years ~ during my show-going years, I really didn't want to know.... As for recent Neil.... Dude. If the current Promise of the Real tour hasn't hit your town yet; will hit your town yet; you haven't bought tickets; and you still can.... GO. This tour is one of the great ones...however you feel about Monsanto Years (I think it rocks, but no matter). Didn't see Neil in the 70's, but this was the 9th time since mid-80s(including four times with Crazy Horse)...and I didn't remotely expect to be saying this: this was the most powerful Neil performance I've ever seen. Tremendous setlist, but that alone doesn't tell the tale. He out-Welded Weld with the finale, Love and Only Love, blowing past mere extended feedback outros into much more dynamic Dead & Floyd territory (he even did a little Crazy Diamond riff at one point). Jaw-dropping, especially from a 70-year-old! Ok, gush over. Back to the GO'GD.

    It's totally fine, Zooks
    I wasn't getting flustered. I just wanted to make sure I was understood. And I listed only examples of things I DON'T like by certain artists. Other examples where I am actually on the supportive side would include.. Pink Floyd: There are many who think they were crap after Roger Waters left. I strongly disagree and enjoy the albums released in his absence. The Beatles: Many consider John Lennon the most important Beatle and view McCartney as a dick. I also strongly disagree there. I consider both Lennon and McCartney's contributions equally important and enjoyable and they both had their egos.. then you'll also get the George Harrison supporters. It's great that the Dead had a long and varied enough career to nurture these differing opinions of the different elements that came and went with their music and performances. Can't really say the same for... The Doors.. for example. Unfortunately.

    I apologize
    I apologize to lowspark75. I'm in a foul mood, and could have stated my thoughts better. I did the same thing at work today also, I am so gol-darn grouchy as I age. I need to follow my own advice, and respect my fellow travelers. Again, I apologize for my remarks.

    RE: My 2¢
    It would be a wonderful thing if the CDs from Rhino came seamless, hopefully they will go the seamless route in the future.Until then we have to fix our own backups by deleting the overlap. CM was also slow to come around the seamless transition until about 2007 when someone started "fixing" his seeds as soon as he'd seed them, by making them seamless and CM's name got bumped from the new SHNID by Tetzelli, who made 2nd sets seamless but messed up the mastering in doing so.

    the list grows
    I have been listening to a lot of shows but it is still overwhelming. These shows are rising to the top of my list: 1991 - 9/10, Madison Square Garden, NY, NY - Branford. Nuff Said. 1972 - 9/24, Palace Theater, Waterbury, CT - great all-around show 1979 - 10/27, Cape Cod Coliseum, South Yarmouth, MA - Impeccable show 1967 - 11/10, Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles, CA - even hotter than '66 1966 - 7/3, Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco, CA - still cant get over how hot this show is 1982 - 7/31, Manor Downs, Austin, TX - if the hiss wasn't there this would be incredible what do your lists look like?

    I get it man.. I don't expect my distaste for some of her contributions to be popular on a forum of people who are here because of their enthusiasm for everything Grateful Dead. It's just my personal taste and what sounds good to my ears. There are probably elements/phases/eras for nearly every band or artist I love which I don't care for. Religious Dylan? No thanks. Recent Neil Young? No thanks. Rolling Stones Undercover and Dirty Work? Don't love it. There are classic Van Morrison albums I don't care for... and I freaking LOVE Van the Man. And on and on. But other people might be enthusiastic enough about any of those artists to think everything they put out or did was golden. And that's fine. It's also fine to not like some of Donna's vocals... or to love ALL of Donna's vocals. That's what forums are about.. expressing your thoughts and opinions. Just so you aren't attacking someone personally for their views.

    Coincidentally... I actually AM listening to the first disc of the '74 show right now before I get ready for work. Funny. Also, I do want to reiterate that there are some of those examples I agree with. Sometimes Donna sounds just fine or even enhances a song. BUT.. I absolutely do not enjoy her singing on Playing In The Band or Scarlet Begonias.. And I'm entitled to that.

    Not sure what happened to my attempted post earlier, but to g1u2i3 & lowspark ~ give 9/18/74 a spin from the new box. Donna's spot-on all night, both in pitch and in knowing where she is in the mix (raucously in key on BIODTL, nice and soft on Ship of Fools), and spaces out just right on Scarlet. ivhs72, thanks for the historical perspective on her aesthetic. In any event, she was indispensable (like it or not) once Phil stopped singing high harmony. As someone said, she was really nice on Cassidy & Looks Like Rain in the later 70s, and generally nailed the Let It Grow choruses with Bob. "Lights Went Out In Georgia" was offered to Cher first?? That would totally have been another "Gypsies Tramps & Thieves" for her, I can hear it in my mind's ear....

    Donna brought the family vibe, listen to pretty much any Mississippi Half Step. I really enjoy most of her vocals. There have been a couple times where I thought her volume was too much, but other than that I don't have any complaints I can think of at the moment.

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!
