    "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.

    ...that 4/23 one-discer does look sweet-tastin'. I do like to make anthologies from within a show, or a stand...one- or two-disc best of a show, or three- to four-disc best of a stand. I've also gathered up various orphans ~ archive, Taper's Section, 30 Days, bonus tracks, So Many Roads box bits ~ into miscellaneous-by-year discs; or miscellaneous-by-season-of-a-year discs (Fall '70 or Summer '73). Some of these hang together better than others. And I'm constantly having to re-sequence them as complete shows get released that are home to some of these tracks, and 30 Days comes round again with another scoop of wandering performances....

    Found this pair o' posts on the Set List program for 2/13/70: According to Owsley, there was no early /late shows at these dates. He offered a 1,000 dollars to anyone who could prove him wrong. He died before anyone was able to collect. -Tom (07/08/2011) Owsley was wrong about no early show on 2/13....'cause we were standing outside the Filmore waiting for the late show listening to the sound spill out from the early show. Had to step over the unconscious guys from the early show to get to our seats. Late show was my first and will always be my favorite...and doesn't hurt that it's one of the best ever! -Don (06/07/2013) Someone posted the 2/13 Early Show setlist, too: Cold Rain And Snow Beat It On Down The Line Good Lovin' Mama Tried -> Black Peter Hard To Handle Saint Stephen -> Not Fade Away Casey Jones -Anonymous (03/13/2009) Good Lovin was, of course, included on the remastered Bear's Choice (my first indication Bear was mistaken), and Stephen > NFA later appeared on a Taper's Section. Not sure where this complete setlist came from, though.

    I've done the same on occasion. One such disc opens with none other than the UJB from 9/18/74 above, which I know someone here turned me on to...it was either danc, or rrot, or someone else with a four-letter name, wish I could remember... damn, my memory sucks...I must have been dropped on my head as a child, or as an adult, or both.

    good discs can work some of the time.. but pull out a '70's show to an 80's freak over there and they will take a finger or two quicker than you say Hey Pokey Way. Trust me, I know. How do you think I found out non other than Valdamir Putin was the box cutter bandit who slashed all the spines on Dave's Picks 15? They love their Brent in that part of the world.. They're crazy about him.

    We all have our opinions. Mine with 1992 is not very positive. The first year I pulled from the box was 1987, which opened with a strong Bucket. My second year was 1992 which also opened with Bucket, and the difference was remarkable. I kept waiting for Jerry to attack those opening notes but they never materialized. While he does remember most of the lyrics during the show, sometimes his playing is entirely missing, Promised Land for instance. Man Smart starts strong but during the last jam it's lost, although on a second listen maybe it's intentionally for Bruce or Vince to play lead, but something is missing. I don't think it's a coincidence that Bruce quit shortly after this show. On a positive note, Althea was great, though perhaps because I don't recall hearing much during streaming from other years, and I really enjoyed Space, which is typically not my thing, so sue me. Tomorrow is a long drive and 1976, looking forward to nothing but smiles!

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!
