    "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.

    Wilfred T, I will check out your fave Bertha post-haste. Those you mention at the end of your post are skipped by me too, along with other significant chunks of those 2 releases. I am still boxless in Atlanta but have done two things to ease the pain. First, I did finally watch that unveiling video. That dude (Dr. Rhino hissownself?) deserves an Academy Award. Hilarious! Second, I still have access to the streams, so have been jumping around the years a song here, a jam there. And I must say EVERYTHING sounds mighty great to me in terms of performance quality. Has anyone found any stinkers at all? I mean sure, there are always rough moments, but are there any truly crap versions of anything? I'm even more excited to see the UPS driver this week, and envious of those enjoying the full fidelity of the CDs.

    I do something similar. For this box I tagged like this: 30 Trips - 1966-07-03 - Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco, CA This way it's listed chronologically in my media player.

    Might want to quickly check your CDs..
    I'm in the middle of very, very slowly transferring my 30 Trips CDs to my hard drive. I'm on disc 2 of the 1977 show and so far everything has been fine..except for 1 disc from the 1970 concert. EAC showed the following: Suspicious position 0:07:20 Suspicious position 0:07:27 Suspicious position 0:07:34 - 0:07:35 I used EAC on 2 different computers with 2 different burners and got the same results. When looking at the disc it kind of has a wavy look. Hard to explain but I've seen it before. It's like someone spilled something inside the CD. The disc doesn't have the normally perfect circles. Honestly, I couldn't hear any problem but thought someone on here might like to know about this.

    I thought it was a strange/interesting choice for them to put the box's number on the scroll.. a peripheral item in the box. But, since it turns out the boxes are shoddy and might need replacing in some cases.. I guess it works out for the better. But not having the number on the actual box leaves room for some dishonesty. "This one is #0002.." but it was actually just the scroll and a different box.

    My favorite one is from 4/19/78. Try that claney, you might not skip it. They all crack up when Phil starts to enter 'doo-wop' territory. What a fantastic Bertha that is, actually it's top 5 all time for me. Instrumentally, it is fantastic and despite the anymore section nearly entering doo-wop territory, it is not WAY over the top (only slightly over the top) Re: the Berthas that were skipping for me, They were Winterland Complete 11/9/73 and Dick's Picks 25 disc 1.

    Chitown Rider / Red or Blue Felt inside 30 Trips Box?
    Chitown, assuming you have a Windows machine - here's what I did for the 30 Trips digital album cover art - Go into the PDF, carefully highlight an individual album cover and take a snapshot (this is a PDF feature). This will store the album cover in memory. Open up MS Paint (comes with Windows) and hit Ctrl v to paste. Then save as JPEG. I had to play around a little bit to figure it out, and the menu may be different from version to version of both PDF and MS Paint, but it worked for me. Good luck. On another note - anyone else have a blue felt CD Bay in their box set? I have several friends locally whose box interior is red, and my other sets red. Wondering how I ended up with blue....

    Question Regarding '67 Show
    According to Deadbase 50 the 11/10/67 show consists of: Viola Lee Blues It Hurts Me Too BIODTL Morning Dew Schoolgirl Alligator > Caution > Feedback the 11/11/67 show consists of: Lovelight BIODTL Death Don't Schoolgirl That's It For The Other One New Potato Caboose Alligator > Caution It would appear the 1st set from 11/10 (upto and including 'Schoolgirl) and the2nd set from 11/11 ('That's It…' upto 'Caution') were used for the 11/10/67 release especially since there's no 'Feedback' listed on the CD jacket for 11/10/67. Don't get me wrong, it's a great release but... 2 questions: 1. How much faith should we put in Deadbase 50? and… 2. Did Dave say this would be the case (the 2 dates being combined) in one of his 'Seaside Chats' none of which I saw. Your thoughts, opinions, updates, corrections...

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!
