    "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.)

    Teach your daughter how to sell on-line for when your dead...hell she can get 1,500 for the 30 year box set...hundreds for most of your box sets...regular cds once you open them are worth pennies for the most part...independent CDs are worth more because of supply and demand laws...but keep buying grateful dead box sets as your contributing to your daughter's future...i'd get off rap ASAP that could destroy her life in more ways than one...buy her beach boys box set if she'll burn her rap records in the yard.

    Dave's Picks 16 sounds great to me..I'd be game for just about anything as I broaden my horizons, but I would say that setlist seems tough to beat. Speaking of '73, I'm in the same boat as boblopes, no bonus disc in '73 but in '77, which I have in May '77...haha, I guess that's an OK problem to have but I would have liked some new music and as I'm seeing, '73 has alot to digest. I have not done any streaming or even considered it for 30 Trips; when just about everything is new to me, no reason to jump the gun there. Currently listening to 5/4/72..I've slowed way past where I wanted to be on the Euro '72 box, but still enjoying it while taking those sidetrips, so it's not worth rushing. This Dark Star seems to have some weird rhythmic vibe that has gotten in my head, probably my favorite since the 4/8 one so far. As far as listening to currently, in a global sense, I took everyone's great advice here and been checking out some of the other 'country rock' acts while reading through that book, Are You Ready for the Country. Spent the most time with Sweetheart of the Rodeo (great reissue edition by the way, well done) and the Flying Burrito Brothers first album. Also listening to Houndmouth today, we are seeing them tomorrow night in a little bar / club. I'm not super familiar with them yet, but I have liked the vibe I've heard (Sedona is the 'popular' tune). I'll second the praise for the Rhiannon Giddens album (and the CCD in general). I love her voice, not to mention the diversity of the selection on the album...from Sister Rosetta to Geeshie Wiley to Odetta to Dolly, while giving her own vibe, that's pretty impressive. Been checking in on the Dylan tour and heard a snippet of the new Sinatra / Ray Charles cover on Youtube (really liked it), but haven't looked into any boots yet.

    I wonder/worry about my "collection", in the end you're dead sooooo. I have a buddy who collects and restores Cadillacs, we always joke 5 minutes after we're dead our family will be loading our stuff in the dumpster. My kid likes a lot of music, so it might be in good hands. I do point out to him certain thing not to sell cheap (like Europe 72). I have a goodly amount of vinyl (about 12' of LP's) about 300 45's (mostly top 40 from Early 70's), about 600 old 78 RPM records from mom. My LP's go back to my childhood lp's, faux Chimpmunks doing Beatles songs and other kid type things. I have several "picture" disc that may be worth something. I have an original Leonard Nimoy album, "the two side of Leonard Nimoy" (on the "Dot" label). I have about 14 "banker" boxes filled with cd's. But the most work has gone into my hard drive collection, I've spent years on that bad boy. I got about 500,000 songs/6000 artist on it. All in order & labeled. I keep this very backedup and have several offsite backups. I work on this almost everyday, correcting track syntax or adding new stuff. I worry my son who likes the collection will not keep it up to date and backedup and when the hard drive goes bad (which it will), bang it will be gone. That thought irks me a little since I have so much time invested into it. But like I said, I'll be dead, sooooo

    It's a tough dilemma. I'm an estate-planning/probate attorney, so I guess I come at this from a slightly different angle. Fortunately, my 12-year-old son is gradually becoming a pretty cool kid. He likes the Dead (a lot) and he absolutely adores the Who (we're going to see them together on their last tour soonish, if Roger Daultrey survives. So I think he'll get my stuff. Born Cross-Eyed had a great idea, except that my experiences with public libraries are that, too often, the stuff isn't taken very good care of, and ends up being gradually destroyed. I might recommend picking a favorite charity, one that is near and dear to your heart, and either auctioning the stuff online (Ebay or such) with the proceeds going to that charity, or just giving it to the charity and allowing them to do the auctioning. Either way, if you don't have anyone close that you think will cherish it the way you do, at least whoever is paying $$$ for it online is probably just like one of us. They want it, they're willing to spend good $$$ for it, and they'll most likely cherish it and take just as good care of it as you did. I look at it as "paying it forward", but all the while obtaining some $$$ for your loved ones or for your favorite charitable organization. Just don't let a person who won't love it like you do just sit on it and let it collect dust.

    thanks for the advice...the 50th anniversary has definitely tore me a new one. So now with the Winterland box and the 50th box, that is 4 complete shows in a row! I have to learn how to be a little more selective, but I am keeping purchases below my goal of an average of $15/disk.

    Watchya listening to these days?
    This afternoon it was the 7 Walkers disc from 2010 in my car. As I was reading this thread it was Johnny Halladay's Noir C'est Noir and other fun music from Johnny via youtube.com. This morning driving to work it was classical music via Philadelphia's Temple University WRTI as I usually do. Yesterday afternoon it was GD 5/3/72 Olympia Theater Paris - a part of the E '72 box. At work I am subjected to the hard rock sounds of Disturbed, via my work parter's hard rock/metal/punk tastes.

    I'm fortunate to be very close with all my family members and know if no one wants the collection they'll do as I ask. They contributed roughly 5% to my collection as Xmas and birthday gifts. Ideally I would like it to stay in the family but all good things come to an end.

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!
