    "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.

    Re: The Book in the Europe '72 Box Set?
    For me, the book included in Europe '72 is really worth. For three reasons, two very personal: - It is very well done, with lots of photos of musicians on stage; - David Lemieux has published the photo of the front of the theater of Olympia (in Paris) I sent him, and he used the articles of the French rock press of the time for the text of the book I also sent him; - And in the last page of the book, my name is mentioned among the people thanked. You understand that this book was for me a far greater value than market value. I do not sell it.

    I love a good conspiracy theory..
    Did I somehow miss yet another conspiracy theory? Damn.. Well, now that the cats out of the bag, I KNEW IT!. Jerry is alive and well, living in a guarded complex in Fuji, snorkeling by day snoring by night. He lives comfortably with two roomies, Elvis and Roy Orbison. As many of you already know.. Elvis HATES 1980's GD.. he digs that '70's sound. So there you have it. I think that explains it, no loose ends. Back to the box. _________________________________ One Edit/Add: Unlike Elvis.. I do like 80's shows. They are playing Dicks Picks 13 on SiriusXM today, man.. that Let It Grow freakin' smokes. As for my box.. it arrived yesterday. I am so overwhelmed.. I really don't know where to start. I only streamed half a show (95 at that).. I guess I will start at '66 and remember to take baby steps. Holy mother of god.. this thing is massive in scope.

    Miracle
    Yes, I had a miracle yesterday but it had nothing to do with the scroll.After discovering my box had damage I was somewhat bummed. I decided not to focus on it and play some of the delicious music instead. Bam, the power goes out. I think, after all this waiting you've got to be kidding!! Must find batteries for boom box. No "c" batteries. I decide listing on computer speakers would be a buzz-kill. This quandry continues for an hour. My girlfriend says let's go for a ride so you can hear some JERRY. As soon as the sacred name is spoken the power comes on!!!! Thank You, JERRY

    Question: The Book in the Europe '72 Box Set?
    I missed out on the Europe '72 Trunk and all its goodies, but bought the music only version. For those who got the trunk, can you tell me if the Book included is worth seeking out to purchase? And now that you've had a chance to look at it, what would be the most you would pay for it? Thanks!

    . . . g1u2i3 doesn't stand for anything. Many years ago, I was trying to set up a new username with "guitar" in the name and kept getting it rejected over and over again. Finally, out of frustration, I just added numbers 1,2 and 3 in between the "gui" of guitar and voilà, it was accepted. Simple as that. Wish I had a more creative interpretation.

    Arrival Outside Boston
    Box #1813 landed on my stoop yesterday/Monday and it was a Holiday/off work no less so I was able to wrap myself around this bad boy in a fairly significant way. No miracle, but love the scroll and the question is do I have a wall space available to frame and hang this sucker?? it's pretty neat. Book is also a nice touch with the leather cover and of course the secret stashes for each item are cool. My 1 1/2 year old thinks those compartments are the coolest... Ticket: Cal Expo, 5/27/93 Backstage Pass: Delta Center Salt Lake City, 2/19/95 No personal ties to either so if anyone is interested in a swap, PM me.... Started out listening to '67 in most of its entirety (outstanding), then proceeded to jump all over the place, revisiting some gems from back in my cassette days. But started with the '73, then jumped to '76, then I really wanted to hear the start of the second set in Cape Cod, so naturally the '79 got some airplay. I was at the '94 show in Boston so looking forward to getting into that one formally as well. Hours of listening in front of us All.... No overall issues with the box itself in terms of construction and shipment. Inside has red felt. Interesting that there seems to be a split between red vs. blue innards. Glad we're all starting to revel in the receipt; for those who still have the acquisition to look forward to - there is no disappointment here, enjoy the anticipation! Sixtus

    80s sound
    With the exception of '82, I thought they sounded acceptable ('85 has some hiccups), and the '84 show exceeded my expectations.

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!
