    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.)

    Last night's reviews
    I listened to '71, '77 and part of '91. '71 didn't blow my mind. It was good, of course, but after the preceding shows, it's just slightly less amazing. '77 show also did not blow my mind. That would probably be the biggest shocker of the weekend. I enjoyed it, but it definitely isn't even close to one of my favorites from spring '77. '91 show made me stop and take notice. I had only really listened to DP27 from '92, as far as late '80s - early '90s shows go. And I did enjoy THAT one to an extent. With this show, I felt Jerry's voice had kind of a weak quality, but the playing and the quality of the sound were pretty darn good. Plus the whole Marsalis thing going on. I only got through disc 1 of this show, but I'll definitely be finishing it soon. *EDIT* Another hugely obvious difference in sound with this '91 show.. the audience. This is the first of the 30 trips shows I've heard from after the "Touch Head" phenomena. It sounds a lot more like a vast sea of applause than I've heard before.

    It's in the master tape. Can we blame Bear for this tiny little imperfection? Too bad Jeff Norman or Dave Glasser couldn't fix it.

    Dead in London 1970?
    I have just finished listening to the 60s shows in the box-everyone a gem. I have been reading Nick Merriwethers excellent commentary in the book as I have been going along. I started reading his account on 1970-and on page 45 he notes that the Dead played 2 shows in England that year-at Newcastle and London. This is the first time I have heard of them playing London in that year. I just wondered, with no disrespect to Nick who's writing is inspiring on many levels-if they actually did or not. Actually, listening to those 60s shows reminds me of what drew me to The Dead in the first place back in the mid 1970s. It was harder to immediately relate to their 1970s albums-maybe because I come from England, and they were informed more by traditional American music. But the first albums up to and including Live Dead-they really were something else!

    Donovan..take 3
    Comments not showing even on phone so hopefully this isn't showing up as three for you guys. Donovan made several trips to the states in 65/66, appearing on TV's Rainbow Quest and other shows with psychedelic material and Shawn Phillips on Sitar, as well as Newport 65. He also was generally hanging out with heads/musicians, and going to the happening spots while in the states at this time. His 1965 album Fairytale contained many obvious drug references and psychedelic material; such as Summerday Reflection, Sunny Goodge Street and Candyman etc, and there was a mystical/celtic vibe throughout the album. His very early 66 singles containing Hey GYP, and the Trip were a hits with the heads at the time and his 1966 (a lot recorded in 65) Sunshine Superman album was one of the first to be full blown psychedelia on every track. He was the first high profile drug bust so that limited his traveling later on, but before that He stated that he saw JAirplane before they had Grace and the Mamas/Papas, both of which he mentions in his song fat angel (later covered live by JA). It would've been hard not to be aware of him since early 65 due to his presence on the radio/tv and his being part of the forefront of the psychedelic music changes going on. The Dead were hip to the early changes, listening to Coltrane and being involved themselves so its safe to say they were listening to Donovan atleast a little in 65 and the more so after The Trip single and Sunshine album in 66. Mellow Yellow was the next after Sunshine and was a lot less trippy, and by 67 Donovan had given up most drugs in favor of meditation and urged others to do so also so he became a little less popular with the trippers.

    I am pretty sure
    that Donovan played the Fillmore before he played the Civic. And a whole lot of British artists from the Beatles on down were at least tourists in the SF scene. But Donovan's stuff in particular was part of the scene, from Mellow Yellow on at least, and it's what you'd hear coming out of windows a whole lot. It would be hard to be in the scene and not be really aware of it, I think.

    John Zacherle / Chiller Theater
    As long as we're throwing around Zacherle comments, I have an original LP from Zac from the day. It contained crazy songs, like Hurry Bury Baby, Monster Mash, Popeye (the gravedigger), Gravy (with some cyanide). This was the first of two albums he did. Has an interview (fake) on back cover, where he ends up eating the interviewer. Fast forward a shitload of years and they release both albums on a double cd. Listening to Hurry Bury Baby right now. Stupid, funny stuff,,,good for driving my wife nuts. Don't know how many know him, but on Metv on Saturday nights there is guy call Svengoulie, does the same stick out of Chicago and has been doing it since like 75. He shows cheap horror/monster movies does jokes in between commericals and usually does a song about the movie (music based on another song) This week he had a Bob Hope "horror" movie. A link to Hurry, Bury Baby https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dL-BkanY8I

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!
