    "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.)

    Box 4026
    Box 4026 arrived today at 3:15 PM. The UPS driver saw the stealie on the packing box and asked me what was in it. I told him and he said he had been to Chicago for the Fare Thee Well shows. My ticket is for Oct. 28, 1991 and the backstage pass is for June 16, 1993. I've been playing 4/5/77 while looking through the book. My letter didn't make the cut, so, I thought why not show it here? It was July 27, 1973 and I had been looking forward to "Summer Jam" at Watkins Glen since it had been announced. I wasn't able to leave Brooklyn, NY earlier than Friday night because of work, so, my friends and I missed the sound check concert on Friday. We drove west through Pennsylvania and then headed north to the Finger Lakes region in NY to avoid the traffic on the main roads in NY. We were in four vehicles and numbered eighteen Grateful Dead fans in total, not one of us with a ticket but we hoped to score them at the site. A short distance after we crossed the border between PA and NY, we were stopped by NY State Troopers, who had set up a check point on an overpass which led to a road below that would take us into Watkins Glen. I was driving the first vehicle in the caravan, my orange VW Beetle. When I stopped at the checkpoint, I was told by the Trooper that the road was closed and I needed to turn around and go back down the road on which we had been driving. When I asked, "What if we have tickets for the concert?" The Trooper said, "What part of the road is closed, don't you understand?" Not wanting to antagonize him, I turned my Bug around and we drove back to the other vehicles in our caravan to let them know what was happening. We drove a short distance back down the road and pulled over to discuss our options when a NY Trooper pulled up behind us in his car and told us, "If you don't have any place to stay for the night, we can put you in jail. Now, get out of NY state." After being kicked out of NY, we drove back into PA and being tired from the drive through the night, pulled into a field off the road to rest and decide what we should do. We weren't there for more than thirty minutes when a PA trooper pulled up and told us we were on private property and couldn't stay there. When we told him what had happened and still would like to get to Watkins Glen for the concert, he told us about another route into Watkins Glen that wasn't closed. It apeared he had decided the best way to get rid of us was to send us back into NY. The PA trooper's directions led us back into NY and we were able to drive right into Watkins Glen where we parked our vehicles and walked a short distance to the racetrack. There were no fences or anyone taking tickets and we walked right in, set up our tents and checked out the stage. There was a reported million people there and it certainly seemed that many were attendance to me. It rained during The Band's set and we got under a tarp we had attached to a chain link fence. We had plenty of food and were dry because of the tarp. We even had enough room to offer shelter to some Deadheads from Ohio who had no shelter of their own. When the concert resumed. many had left because of the soaking rain and I was able to walk up to the front of the stage where I enjoyed the rest of the concert. Good times for all - Good Ol' Grateful Dead

    0846 arrived in Pittsburgh today!
    So excited, the pass is from 5/23/93 shoreline amphitheater and the ticket is 12/12/94 Oakland. Also, so no wars are started, I will be likely selling some of these as I'll never listen to them. Contact me with what you want and we can work it all out. I also have a copy of Hofhienz I never listen too and Daves Picks Volume 12 at Colgate. For now I'm going to enjoy the 70's with a Dogfish 61 minute IPA.

    Seems weird...When I was a child my friends never received the same gifts as I so, there wasn't any commonality to add to the enthusiasm of receiving gifts on Christmas morning. What a strange marvelous world where were able to communicate the excitement of being a child again. :^) #0230 No golden ticket. Don't really care. Have to investigate what that was all about. Ticket: 5/27/93 Cal Expo Ampitheatre, Sacramento, CA Backstage pass: "In Attendance" 3/22/95 Charlotte Coliseum, Charlotte, NC

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!
