    "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.)

    Yes, antonjo and hippiedarkstar (and others that PM'd me). I must have been burned out last night, the DP4 is certainly not the 2/14/70 early show Dark Star. Incredible though, that between 2/13 and 2/14 they evolved. For anyone that hasn't listened, 2/14/70 early Dark Star-SS-the 11-Lovelight is extraordinary, fluid, marred only by a missing couple of minutes of SS (I edited in a crossfade in my listening copy to ease the pain). I believe that the great recording by Bear is still circulating, at least as an mp3.

    ....but you didn't listen to the Scarlet -> Fire? Esp Fire? It interests me that you can like a band, but totally diss them because of a new member....I thought the same thing when Ronnie James Dio took over for Ozzy. And that turned out alright....

    In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] often for their own amusement. I'm not sure wiping Vince from the memory of the GD will upset anyone or create any emotional response (like Vince's keyboard skills lol) right? Therefore the definition of troll does not equate. Prove me wrong ;)

    Lowspark ... What a great show! I remember this one very well. What a time at MSG!!! What I remember most is somehow feeling very at home in the stadium, wandering around at set break. I distinctly remember the Spinners in the corridor as the second set broke out broke out with a delirious HSF and that amazing second set fuelled by Branford magic. This was a highlight for my show days - for real. Alas, no box copy for me, sniff. I have my denon tapes though! In my car right now, matter of fact.

    Let my fingers do the walking last night, and they landed on '74. Considered listening in order, but after the hoppin' pace of '66, I was ready for something mellower than a mind-shattering '67. Love this choice. The first set has to be one of the best of '74. Uncle John's opener delivers 2nd set intensity right out of the gate. Jack Straw is starting to stretch out a little...love what Billy, then Keith, then Jerry do just before the "leavin' Texas" verse; Billy just goes for it, with the confidence he'll be able to quiet down in time (and does), then Keith throws in a nice little lick, which Jerry then answers in the little moment of space left before Bob starts singing. Keith is really present in the first set. I love how much Rhodes he plays in this show, gives it that Blues For Allah feel. A rare post-72/pre-hiatus Friend of the Devil is a treat, sounding just like '74 Dead while still nailing the original arrangement; Billy sounds psyched to be playing it. The country tunes, Mexicali through Race Is On, sound really authentic, in large part due to Donna's input. Her voice really shines on this show, especially the country harmonies but also her Scarlet wail, which is particularly spacey, Jerry even seeming to play off of it. She's nice on Ship of Fools, too. But the country blue ribbon goes to a sublime To Lay Me Down, where Jerry's voice sounds like '72, clear, confident, and sweet, with Donna once again keeping the harmony bar high. (Looking forward to that '72 Tomorrow Is Forever....) The Playin' that closes the set is right up there with the two on Dick's 31 from a month & a half earlier as perfect manifestations of jazz-Dead (Dick's 28 is another). Not an unexciting minute in all 23. What a set. Loose Lucy launches with such a phat groove, it really is too bad that, as others have noted, the vocals are all but missing. What happened after the first set? How come it wasn't rectified in shorter order? That groove doesn't miss, though...the music stays tight and hot. A similar issue, slightly less severe, plagues the U.S. Blues encore, also. Truth be told, vocal mix is a bit wishy-washy throughout the show, and not this recording's strong point. That said, I'm SO glad David chose this show. The band is on, and obviously having fun ~ the energy is just really cozy. And the instrument mix is superb. Even Billy's ride cymbal is present. Billy's tremendous throughout this show. The Caution jam, coming out of a particularly cool Drums, is the jamming highlight for me ~ where they get into that certain groove that's pure '74/prelude-to-'75. Even as they're playing a very old tune (and this is truly Caution, not merely suggesting it). Between this, the Eyes outro, the Uncle John's jam, and Scarlet, the jazz 'n space lovers get what they came for, but the songs are really showcased here, too. Bear with the vocals, and there are sweet returns here.... (having just heard the '66 show previously, the contrast of electric jug rave-up with 73's Bakersfield approach on "Beat It On Down the Line" just reminds me again how much I love this band....)

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!
