    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.)

    I have a 1/17/68 Carousel Ballroom, which seems to verify with deadbase 50, it's 4:48 min long decent/good sound. Goes into a China Cat. This 68 show looks good, has a 7:40 min Dew. The more I listen the better the recording sounds.

    Glad to read that some of you have got your boxes already. Waiting patiently in Pittsburgh so it can't be that long if Eastern PA got a few already. I have other things on the way, but I'm fairly certain this will stand out. Happy listening to those that have it!

    Looks like mine is scheduled to arrive Friday 10/9 in the afternoon. I've had the last three weeks off and leave for work for a few days about 2 or 3 hours before the box will arrive. I won't be able to see or hear this in person for a few days after it's arrival. Arrrgh.

    Arrived Today - My wife was away!!!
    OK - so I had to post - it is so good to hear that others were concerned about the box arriving and their wives discovering it. I have had to keep this seriously quiet. I used a credit card that she does't know I have - and when she heard about it from a co-worker, I said that I would never pay 700.00 for shows that I already had in my collection. I do have most of them - but I still bit. I haven't even dug into the box because I am keeping it in my car overnight until tomorrow. I have, however, begun listening. Everything sounds great so far - thanks GDP. I just have to say this though - on several of the disc jackets, 83 and 84 for example, there are remarks by Lemieux regarding the inconsistent play of the band during those years. As I interpreted the numerous remarks of this nature - I began to get more and more irritated. Lemieux -are you freakin crazy? Fall '83 holds its own with any of your precious 70's tours. Maybe not better - but in the conversation. I love the 70's as well -but I saw the bulk of my 250ish shows between '82 and '90. '82 was unbelievable for long stretches as was '85. So freakin what if Jerry forgot some words or was smokin coke. If you discount shows on those terms (drugs) - you'd have to stop listening. Have you even listened to any of the Merriweather shows? Springfield, Mass. '85 might have been the best two shows I ever saw (The HSF night reigns supreme) The Greeks and Frost? Red Rocks? Alpine? How about the St. Stephen shows from 83? Iowa 82? Glenn's Falls 82? MSG 82? How about Fall '85? C'mon man - sometimes the light needs a little dark - like a touch of grey - you know? There are a lot of us out here that feel this way.

    I live in a pretty big co-op building and was greeted with a brown box on the stoop, not unusual and I don't order shit so I blew past it, or was about to, and I saw scrawled on a side in this Hobbity typeface -- Pen Mill Phil Mickey-- and then there was a steal your face and my name and my address ann I took it home and then I opened it and unpacked it and then, and then.... The cardboard box in and of itself is cool. The packaging clever. I'm going to keep it. In fact, it's in my basement storage now. Otherwise one of my cats would piss and shit in it and the other would eat it. I spent a lot of time just touching it. It has some kind of hajj thing going for it. I just want to circle it. Over and over. If you haven't watched the video on how to navigate this thing, don't. Not sure what's in the video but I got probably way to much pleasure figuring it out. Seasons and phases and grain patterns. Ticket and backstage pass inside an embossed leather book. Maybe pleather.Or vinyl. It's not leather but has that feel. It's pretty sweet. Embossed both sides. So much symmetry. And, I've only gone through a bit, but the contents found therein are colorful and touching and warm. Terrific art. Terrific personal narratives. Ticket and backstage pass (both authentic from Oakland Coliseum. Ticket: 10/30/91. Pass: 2/25/95. A timeline scroll. Inscribed panels. Obscured inscriptions. So. All of this without listening to a single note, which is the whole reason for this thing. (And I'm listening to 10/20/68 right now and it's crisp and grand and the CAUTION!!.) But the best is that my daughters, 10 and 8, are so stoked because I love it so much and they want to play with it and read the scroll and read the book and look at the art and I get to explain it all to them and they're LISTENING to me, for the first time ever, because it's just so fucking cool and you want to touch it and it has this gravitas, it's IMPORTANT. My wife, I think, is a little disturbed by it and my daughters' fascination with it and she's wondering how long "that thing" is going to stay on the kitchen counter. To each their own but 'that thing" is pretty fucking great. So much to take in!

    UPS Tracking
    When I first signed up on the UPS site there was no information on the box. I clicked on the "Tracking" tab on the top of the page once signed in, then clicked on the "My UPS Choice" on the next row of tabs down from the top. This took my to a screen labelled "My Delivery Planner" and there was the tracking information for the box. Hope this helps anyone who couldn't find the information on UPS 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!
