    "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.)

    Anymore
    One Man, that's funny - I was thinking the same thing. I was listening to that just yesterday in my car, with my six-year old. When it got to the endless anymore section, there was a skip alright ... it was ME hitting the skip button. I HATE it when they did that (some Sugar Mags come to mind too, and some Deals). I'm sure it was fun live and all, so I'm not complaining, but I always skip the repetitive "excitiing" scream fests, or Jerry fanning fests. Most will of course find this to be insane. It's just how feel, baby :) By the way, am I actually the only one who just puts the CD's on a shelf and listens to them? (No backups, no ripping). I'm a freak!

    If it was the Dap 15 version of Bertha, it wasn't skipping. There is an endless blizzard of anymores at the end of that one. It's absurd, but I love it anyway.

    Most times I listen to digital copies I made myself (lossless WAV) using windows media player and I store the discs for occasional reference. Most times I don't need to, but when I need them I'm glad they're there. For example yesterday, I was listening to my collection on shuffle (which I often do when doing yardwork) using wireless headphones and I heard the song skip. So I made a literal note of it, using pencil to note the song and disc (I had to go inside to check the player). Yesterday was the second time in going on about 2 years I can recall having had any skipping. Ironically, both times it was on the 'Anymore' part of Bertha. Well, this morning I referenced the discs, listened to each track through from the original discs and alas, thankfully there were no skips. So, I re-ripped each of those tracks to replace the skipping files in my digital collection. I have triple redundancy, but not off-site which I will do now and that is a superb suggestion One Man. Annoying problems I have to work on figuring out, is how to change the artwork. Which I think I am on the verge of figuring out, in the past I have had problems getting this to work. The first time I tried, it simply wouldn't work and the second time, the player would not execute the action while the files were in use. I was able to successfully change the art at that time, but sporadically, it would not work in every case but I know it is possible because I did it. Finally, the last problem I'm having is I notice the cd online database is not recognizing disc one of Winterland 1977- The Complete Recordings. I am presently going to check the other discs, but I am afraid I am going to have to input the data manually which is frustrating and time-consuming. But, it is a price I will gladly pay for being a dead freak and being able to enjoy all of my recordings while mowing the lawn or anytime I want in great quality without having to take the discs out of the jumbo cd binder in which they are safely stored. Update-9 out of the 10 Winterland '77 discs have 'mostly correct' track info. metadata, but the disc titles, composer information, and album art are either incorrect or missing. Disc 1 has nothing. It looks like the task will take some time, but not as much as it potentially could to have everything 'just exactly perfect'. It's probably no wonder why this one has not yet been ripped to backup in my case. Hopefully, I'll have that fixed by today. Love that 6-8-77 Sugaree!

    You ask : «My question for anyone who cares to answer... for the shows that were placed out of order for disc space reasons... will you change the alignment of the songs in itunes?» For my part, I put into iTunes the songs in the order of the concert, always. Because what is important to me is not really CDs but mostly the show. Discs boxes are beautiful objects, I love them, but, for me, above all music comes from the show.

    2069....
    Arrived in NC on Friday... I was away on an Anniversary Trip with my wife(who is truly a MIRACLE to me) and came home to this gem.(not a MIRACLE) We were in St. Maarten for the week and as the week went on and as wifi permitted, I'd check in here to read about Boxzilla landing on doorsteps. I haven't posted much along the way but figured I would now that I've had a night to tackle this a bit. I just wanted to chime in on the sorting/labeling convention conversation. iTunes is my hub, and I too, am rather pit-nicky about how it flows. My collection sees various approaches but for boxed sets, I typically lead with the name of the boxed set, then date, venue, disc# Name of Box - 00/00/0000 - Venue,City,ST. - (Disc #) For this beast, I stayed with that with the exception of adding a prefix... '66 - 30 Trips Around The Sun: July 3, 1966 - Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco, CA (Disc 1) This allows it to stay grouped together and stay in the right order. In fact, I may find another prefix methodology for the other boxes...hmmm? I clipped the disc art from the pdf download of the book > Export to jpeg. My question for anyone who cares to answer... for the shows that were placed out of order for disc space reasons... will you change the alignment of the songs in itunes? I wish you all great listening. I can only imagine what I'm about to get into.

    I just wanted to chime in and say - don't be intimidated by digitization of your collection. It can be as complex as just described (and therefore more reliable and flexible in terms of edits to the jams) OR it can be extremely simple. I just rip all CDs to ALAC using iTunes. The files go to a 1TB external hard drive. This drive is mirrored onto a similar drive that I keep in a drawer at work. I think off-site backup is a must. Beyond that, all I do is edit the metadata BEFORE ripping (because iTunes will sort by album name, and you want consistency there so you can find everything.) Grateful Dead (and related) stuff gets its own hard drive, since there is so much of it. There's a nice stealie on the primary drive, and I put the 30 Trips sticker (Where did I get that? I don't even have the box yet.) on the backup drive. Ripping your CDs is a must. The discs themselves are prone to damage. Some players will scratch them even.

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!
