    "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.)

    Yay!!! #6333 has made it home to Mountain View, Ca. Wow, thank you Dave, Dead and Rhino for such a sweet gig, i'm chuffed! ;-)Coincidently i was home early from work today and the box didn't have to spend more than a couple minutes getting acquainted with the front porch. It's exactly perfect, but i did perfect it even further by cutting up a MoFi vinyl record sleeve to fit into the 45 slot, so the record is now protected by an archival anti static record sleeve. As i'm typing 1975 has just finished. What a great show! Blue Velvet Got the Trout and Fly 8/22/90 Eugene Pass, Oakland Coliseum Space Head 10/30/91 #5241 ticket i got to check, i think i went to this show! Cool beans all around. I got lost in the book. Waiting for a Saturday morning with coffee to get into the scroll. Good to hear the worldwide folks from Japan to Europe got the box on the same day as this California boy. All Good Things in All Good Time Indeed! Collective Enjoyment. Peace, Love and Happiness to all

    ...when I heard there were blue & red velvets, I hoped for blue. Blue Velvet was waiting, beneath cardboard, when I arrived home this evening. Love this box. Love the scroll. Love the CD covers and packaging (back covers remind me of the '73 box). Love the hiding places for the book and scroll. And the art scenes on each panel are charming ~ my favorite one being just in time for pumpkin season...! Can't listen to anything tonight ~ saw Wayne Shorter last night, and my ears were already still ringing from Neil & the Promise of the Real last week, so they really need a break ~ but I'm just reveling in this treasure chest like Edmond Dantes on Monte Cristo. Ticket, with Steal Your Face graphic, is another from Oakland Coliseum, Oct 30, '91 ~ anniversary coming right up. Ticket price $22.50. (Up from $15.00 in '87.) Stage pass is Vegas Silver Bowl, complete with silver Lightning Bolt, May 15, '93. Ahoy Texas, Nevada, my fellow Portlanders, and Japan.... The Great Pumpkin came through at last!

    Lovin' it
    Box #160 arrived safely in St. Louis metro on Monday. I was sitting at work when I got the confirmation that it was delivered. A little later some pretty short but intense spot showers popped up, worrying followed. Seems to be hit and miss with UPS at my house. Half the time it's propped up against the garage door, half the time it's on the front porch. The garage door offers no protection from the elements and I've come home to soaking wet boxes on more than one occasion. Delivery notice said front porch, but until I got home I was a little worried inside. Got home and it was on the front porch, dry as a could be. I couldn't wait and tore right into it. The box itself is in decent shape. I haven't gone over it with a fine tooth comb, but no obvious issues with the packaging itself. I'm content with that, it's the music I wanted. But first, a quick peak at the scroll and a peak at the book. Found the extra goodies: 10/27/91 stub and 93 Buckeye Music Center pass. Just finished ripping all the discs. I've been listening to little bits here and there from all shows/discs as I was ripping them to try to make sure I didn't get a bad disc. They all seem to be good to go. I was planning on listening to them in chronological order, but that didn't happen. I gave in a listened to the 75 show today since I was on the road most of the work day and I loved every second of it, even had to go back and play through some selections a second time after I finished it. The only issue I have is that I received 2 disc 2's from the 77 show. Missing disc 1. Sent an email to Dr. Rhine (thanks to whomever posted that information). We'll wait and see what transpires. If by pure chance somebody ended up with 2 disc 1's from the 77 show AND happen to be reading this thread, let's hook each other up. I feel for those that are still waiting and hope all the boxes get home soon. I'm enjoying reading all the happy responses from everybody, puts me in good spirits.

    Got it today at noon. The box is quite nice and the book looks like a fun read. I should have enough space to put the very cool scroll on the wall. The ticket is to a show I went to Oakland 10/30. By the way not sure why it's so hard for some to believe they aren't original. They bought in bulk those they didn't use got put away thus the pristine condition. Whatever. Now the music and the lucky us. I'm a chronologically oriented guy so that's how I'm listening. God are they good shows and good recordings. I'm finishing 1970 tonight and continue to be amazed by the quality. 45+ years old phenomenal. The items are nice, I'm a collector so I want them, but they'd be worthless without great music. I have everything they have released over the past 20+ years and will continue. Probably the main reason I don't have a lot of sympathy for those who want it on their terms, they pick and choose, and then whine when something eventually sells out. I say eventually since outside of the Fillmore box the releases have been around for a while. Thank you GD/Dave/Rhino/everyone making this possible. What's next. I kinda think we'll have to be satisfied with the subscription for a bit. Wait for them to catch their breath

    Nice observation on the tree rings. Having only held mine up briefly in soft light, I hadn't realized that yet.

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!
