    "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.

    Disc rot...
    The type of disk rot my 2nd CD of 4/25/77 has looks like when a wet print gets smudged. The back of the CD is fine, but when you look at the silver side there's like a translucent "thumb print" on the inside of the outer edge of the clear plastic CD and won't play the last track. It's a 1/2 inch "wave shape from the outer edge of milky unplayable CD.

    get well Phil!!
    Just got the following email from TXR: 10/24 & 10/25 Phil & Friends Show Cancellation A Message from Phil: Dear Friends, I am sorry to let you know that I will need to cancel the October 24th and 25th Phil & Friends shows with Chris Robinson. I was diagnosed with bladder cancer in early October, and have spent the last few weeks at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale doing tests and eventually surgery to remove the tumors. I am very fortunate to have the pathology reports show that the tumors are all non aggressive, and that there is no indication that they have spread. So thanks to my local doctor Cliff Sewell, and the incredible team at the Mayo Clinic, all is well and I can return to normal activities in two weeks from my surgery. Unfortunately, that means I will have to cancel the PLF shows scheduled for Oct 24/25. We will reschedule these shows as soon as we can, but in the meantime, keep a lookout for a free Grate Room show before I leave for the East Coast shows. I also plan to pop in and jam in the bar before we leave, so I hope to see you there at Terrapin. Love Will See You Through.... -Phil PS Ticket refund info will be posted soon

    Conspiracy!
    I am pretty sure by now.. everyone has gotten their box except one man. No, seriously.. I feel your pain.. I do love a good conspiracy, but often there is a less fun, but rational answer. ..there is something wrong with getting this out all at once. It could be staffing, clearing out half a warehouse within a few days creates its own logistical problems. It also could be simpler. Perhaps there were production problems and the supplier could commit to half the inventory by x date and the rest by y date. But who knows.. what I do know is something doesn't make sense. Could also be the boxcutter bandit struck again and they caught it before mailing and rejected those. But something is weird and I do feel bad about those who don't have their box and me having mine. So without offending people from GA, FL and clearly WY, something is not exactly perfect and getting fixed. Only speculating.. but the reply jrf gave from Cust Serv tells me there is something we just don't know. Either that or there are 10 employees at the warehouse and they have reached their 40 hour limit and no boxes for anyone in GA, FL and WY. Or perhaps Vladimir Putin did in fact cut a couple thousand boxes with a soviet made boxcutter. We will never know for sure. What else could it be?.. but one man and jrf.. I think its worth the wait. _________ One edit: my bro, Luis! Great to see you.

    @ Alain - the 11/10/67 show and 'Anthem' would be a good place for anybody to start as far as understanding the GD and what they were about. @ Keithfan & Lowspark75 - that '77 show is as near perfect as we're ever going to hear as far as live GD. Everyone, including Keith can be distinctly heard in the mix. All around fantastic mastering job with the '77 show.

    Conspiracy!
    Has anyone in GA or FL received their box? Why do the gods hate us? I thought for sure Mr. UPS would darken my doorway and thump my front porch with some precious cargo today but all I hear are crickets out there. What is a red-blooded southerner to do? At least I have some fresh (to me) Miles Davis to keep me company. But still...

    Disc rot...
    Best to just Google it, OE 800. You'll find lots of pictures. Some of my old CDs from back in the late 80s show some signs of disc rot. My old Europe 72 double disc has it in a few places and won't play. I have an old Bob Dylan bootleg, and if I look at it in the right light, It's hard to explain, but It looks like something was spilled inside the CD. Not sure if that's the beginning signs of disc rot too, but it won't play either. edit: I've noticed some of that "something spilled inside" effect in some newer CDs (at least 1 in 30 Trips), and they played..although they sometimes get a suspicious activity mark from EAC. It's really bad on the Dylan boot I have and that CD use to play just fine.

    Sounds like there may be a fungus among us that develops over time. I checked some of my 80’s disc’s and luckily no rot. Is it contagious?

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!
