    "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.)

    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.

    What 5 titles are you listening to while awaiting the BOX DROP? GD can be included. 1. Gary Clark Jr. - Blak And Blu. Great guitar work-outs mixed with mid-60's R&B/Soul 2. Richard Thompson - Still Deluxe. If you should purchase this do yourself a favor and get the deluxe 2 CD version with 5 additional songs. These aren't alternate/demo/live versions of songs already on the album, but 5 fully realized outtakes that should have/could have been on the main album. 3. Los Lobos - Good Morning Aztlan (or 'Kiko') I'm looking forward to the new album. It seems like you can never go wrong with these guys. 4. Genesis - Live at the Philadelphia Spectrum 9/18/07. A friend sent me a soundboard(?). Not being much of a post-Gabriel listener, I was pleasantly surprised at the mix of old and new material. 5. GD - DP33 10/9 & 10/76. 2 afternoon concerts opening for the Who. 'Nuff said.

    Thanks wjonjd - so 1985 was it as far as complete TIFTOO. Too bad as I really enjoyed the 'Crypticals'. Some great jams could come out of the 2nd one. You have me salivating anew with your descriptions of the other shows. As expected '68-'76 will probably be worth the price of admission alone. While I didn't expect a top shelf '77 (5/7-5/9), another '77 is always welcome. '79 was #6 on my list as I think Brent really gave "new life" to the band as much as I liked Keith.

    And even it was $6.5 million sold, 1% interest for 45 days comes to about $7150 dollars.Are you really going to complain about that while Rhino works out all of the kinks? I mean c'mon. That's peanuts to a big corporation Rock on

    Finally got It
    So I finally have figured it out. All of you are marketing Bots designed to bleed me of every last dime. I will stop listening to you from this date forward. BTW, I just picked up the 73 Winterland also, for $108.99. This must be the last one because now the cheapest new version is $273. I had been eyeing it for a while but after posts on here I figured I better grab it. But after this, "No more Soup for You"! Oh yeah, what were the other 73DP?

    You need to check your math my friend. Even if they sold all 6500 boxes, and the 1000 USBs, which they have not yet done, that comes to $5,250,000 and not $6.5 million Rock on

    Cryptical was played 6/16/85 at the Greek, first time since 12/15/71 at the Hill Aud. In Ann Arbor, MI. They only played it 3 more times after 6/24 - on 6/30/85 at Merriweather Post and 7/13/85 in Ventura CA (at both of these they only played the part that precedes The Other One), and 9/3/85 in Kansas City MO where they played both sections. I can't really answer which I'm most looking forward to because I've been going through the streams in chronological order and am into the 85 show already. I will need to listen again to let it all sink it but I remember being especially blown away by the 68,69 and 70 shows. There haven't been any duds. The first set of 76 is fairly standard, but the second set is unbelievable. Although there are lots of highlights on the 79 show (Phil's entry on The Other One, the Dancing->Franklin's), I've always preferred the following night of the two-nighter in Cape Cod. I was surprised at how good the 84 show was, major fun. The 71 thru 74 shows were not surprising, they were predictably top-drawer jaw dropping. The 75 show is, as you would expect, unique. It has a looser feel to it than the Great American, with prime Phil everywhere. Love the early Help-Slip, and it's interesting how they sandwiched out the Franklin's. The 77 show is very solid, but relative to other 77 we already have, it's not at the very top of the heap. I love the early 80's stuff and don't mind the patches. There are Scarlet-Fires on both the 82 and 83 shows and they're very different. For those that have never fallen in love with Brent's playing I'm hoping that some will after really listening to these. He was a really brilliant player, and they were fabulously lucky to have him.

    As others have stated DaP5 11/17/73 is a great show with well "Norman-ized" audio. Honorable mention: DP19 10/19/73 Oklahoma City, OK RT4.3 11/21/73 Denver, CO (4 days after DaP5) The following shows are incomplete, but still great listening: DP14 11/30/73 & 12/2/73 both Boston, MA DP28 2/26/73 Lincoln, NE & 2/28/73 Salt Lake City, UT I asked in an earlier post if you'd be willing to re-purchase incomplete shows if now complete (returned reels etc.), these were some of the shows I was thinking of.

    That makes for a 45 Day interest free loan of $6.5 Million. Must be nice! I sort of feel like a patsy.

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!
