    "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.)

    ROLLINGSTONE.COM SONG PREMIERE AND EXCLUSIVE DAVID LEMIEUX INTERVIEW
    Head on over to Rollingstone.com for the very first listen of "Morning Dew" 9/18/87 Madison Square Garden, David Fricke's exclusive interview with archivist David Lemieux, and the reveal of 30 TRIPS AROUND THE SUN's '69 and '84 shows.

    *Helpful hints for using your USB:

    Running the 30 Trips Player / Reader program:
    On Windows – Navigate to the USB drive and double click the PCStart.exe file to run.
    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.

    Importing music into iTunes and other library programs:
    When you import the songs from the USB into your library, the information used to identify the track will likely leave them sorted incorrectly. Please use the song list found here to re-number the songs for each show so that they playback in the correct order.

    Glad to hear you mention him, UV1, he's a good writer. I'd recommend his book, Mr. Apology and other Essays to all of you. There's a couple essays about Bob Weir and at least one about the Buena Vista Social Club. A couple more about hockey. Good stuff.

    Everything released from '73 is worth owning. Glad you mentioned the Denver Road Trips VGuy, it's spectacular, but I'm surprised you're not more enamored with the 12-4 bonus disc. That's essential listening in my book. 10-19 is an all time favorite for me going back to the cassette days so Dip19 is a MUST have IMO. 12-2-73 set II was one of those life changing tapes for me years ago (okay, that may be a bit melodramatic but hopefully you get my point) so DiP14 is essential even though I've never really gotten over the exclusion of Sugar Mags before the Morning Dew encore. I'd love to hear some thoughts on the Cleveland bonus disc, 12-6. It's almost as if they tune a bit and eventually find themselves playing Dark Star.

    ....i.e. the bonus disc from Winterland '73.... ....got the box two (?) years ago with bonus. Listened to it. Meh. Spun it again six months later. Still meh. Dusted it off a year later. Post-Drumz woke me up, but still meh. Played it last night....got to Truckin', got bored, then popped in Denver 11.21.73 (i.e. RT 4.3)....now That's a Truckin'....not to mention a first set Brokedown, and a relaxing Uncle John's encore....entrancing... ...maybe one day Cincinnati Gardens will grab my collar....one day

    wjonjd, hdcd & hi res tests
    Interesting that you found a 6dB drop between the decoded vs not hdcd discs. Makes sense, they do sound softer, and better. I believe that this is because without decoding the low amplitude parts of the signal are boosted, and the cd sounds too hot (like most cds), i.e. compressed up). I've never heard software decoding, but the hardware decoded hdcd's sound fine, normal amplitude. Your test sounds interesting. I'm not an adherent of double blind testing, but it is fun to try. Here's an easy experiment to work in, if you want: Take a track that you like from Spring TOO 192/24 bits. I used Crazy Fingers 3/14 because it has interesting things going on in the harmonics. Transcode the original FLAC to AIF, WAV, ALAC. Have someone put the four (FLAC, AIF, WAV, ALAC) files in a random order. Have someone play back the first minute of each, or pick a random minute in the middle. Do you hear a difference? Do you have a preference? That's a listening exercise that I'd like to hear about. The amplitudes are supposed to be identical, the quality, supposed to be identical. In fact, the files are supposed to sound identical with identical data content (after decoding). If you have an extra couple of minutes, give it a try. I do not know Windows software to transcode, I use XLD, but I think that is Mac only. Incidentally, I use equal 125 step analog volume controls. When a CD (or download) is poorly mastered, (compressed for loudness), the first couple of steps give a huge jump, much too loud, pragmatically demonstrating the compression. This problem doesn't exist with HDCD decoded or true high res material. The unencoded HDCD exhibits the same problem as overly compressed CDs. For your bet: No idea. Auditory memory is really poor. Listening side by side, assuming well mixed, well mastered recordings, probably yes. Listening to several versions, doubtful. But you answered your own question! You noticed that it is impossible to volume match the hi-res audio.

    Surely this only occurs in legend and lore. A fable of the unobtainable, a flight of Icarus. But pulling this off would give you the supreme title of Shogun. Master of all Samurai, commander of all people and ruler of all fiefdoms.

    I don't think I have the bonus material from Winterland '77 either. I had my own facts a little off regarding my '73 catalogue. Besides the Winterland '73 box, I do also have the Download series show from 12/10/73. But that doesn't sit on a shelf in physical form with the rest of my collection, so it's easy to forget about.

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!
