    "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.

    W73 - mine did not have the bonus disc either but w77 did
    My Winterland 73 box did not have the bonus disc, but my Winterland 77 box did, which was re-released as part of May77 (which I bought). Wronged by the fat finger of fate... Check your pm

    I really should have been keeping my eyes on Dead.net better over the past 10 years. I missed a lot of stuff I would've loved to have.. without paying price gougers on eBay. Not a mistake I will make again!

    It would help if I actually read your original post, huh. Sorry, was at a red light and saw some of the responses and thouhht , whoa I need to let this guy know cheap you can still find Winterland '73 - it's the only good deal you can find on a box set. Actually not sure why that one is not in higher demand - I love it, despite my complaints about the mid-range being too high(last year). Yes 12/4/73 Cincinnati is the bonus disc.

    Did the Winterland '73 box come with a bonus disc? I got mine from the local record store and it definitely did not have a bonus disc.

    The Winterland box is the one thing I actually already have from '73. I bought it back when it came out. Sadly, even if I find a DaP5 on eBay, it will likely cost MORE than the 3 show box set that I already own.

    Everyone who said DaP 5 is correct - great show. For the money, however, you can get on e.ba.y. the Winterland 1973 box set brand new for 120. 3 shows from right before the pauly pav show 11/9, 11/10, 11/11. in my mind, a much better buy, plus you get a lot of songs not on DaP 5, including the best version i've ever heard of Loose Lucy - very unique performance.

    > Variable bit-rate is superior to constant bit-rate because what > it does is use higher bit rates for complex sections and lower > bit rates for simple sections, Ok - I get that. When I make mp3s for ipod, etc., I use 320 cbr, as 320 vbr will never be at 320 (or so I have read). I also read (sorry no link) that changing compression rates in the same song can cause more ear fatigue (even if there is no discernible difference in sound quality). Something to do with pressure changes on ear mechanics.

    Trey Anastasio
    On Friday night, I had the pleasure of seeing Trey Anastasio talk with Alec Wilkinson as part of the New Yorker Festival. Much of what they discussed was about Trey's experiences with the guys from the Grateful Dead (and with Bill Walton), both preparing for and performing at the Fare Thee Well concerts. Trey also played acoustic versions of a few of his own songs. It was a delight to be there, and thought I'd share. http://blog.phish.net/1444067800/trey-anastasio-new-yorker-festival-int…

    @Chastason and last thoughts on the testing
    Variable bit-rate is superior to constant bit-rate because what it does is use higher bit rates for complex sections and lower bit rates for simple sections, making the average 256 (whatever number you choose). Constant bit-rate has to use 256kbs even where that's more than needed at any particular point in time, and can't go above 256kbs even where that matters a lot. Variable bit rate uses those simple sections to drop to a bit rate that will do, so that it can use bit rates higher than 256 where that would be most beneficial. The average will be 256. The disadvantage is that not all players/software that play mp3 are compatible with variable bit rates (but nowadays most are.) Also, I realized that for my testing, I am going to have to do two separate tests because there is no way to make the purchased 24/192 file (and it's resultant mp3) the same volume as the others, because the CD did have some dynamic range compression applied. So, we will have to compare the HDCD.exe'd files to the CD files (which can be made exactly the same volume), and then to do the test with the Hi Res download, I will use software to "downgrade" the 24/192 files to 16/44.1 with noise shaped dithering (using whatever default settings the software allows) and make mp3's of each of these. Then these files will have the same volume as each other. There is no way to get the 24/192 volumes to match the CD based files unless I mess with the 24/192 files to apply dynamic range compression to match the CD (I don't know how to do that), or to UNdynamically compress the CD files (I don't know how to do that either.) But, that should be fine. So, the tests will be: Test1: CD lossless mp3 from CD lossless hdcd extracted file mp3 from hdcd extracted file Test2: 24/192 file mp3 from 24/192 file 16/44.1 file made directly from 24/192 file mp3 from 16/44.1 file made directly from 24/192 file. Using the volume control knob is not good enough. Minute differences will invalidate the test. The volume knob must be SET and not moved throughout the test.

    Re: 1973
    Is it wishful thinking that perhaps the best of 1973 is yet to come? I am partial to the DS>MJB>Morning Dew from 10/19/73 with Pauley coming in a close second because it sounds so good and is a complete show. ..and what about RFK and PNC or am I getting ahead of myself? ..and to my narcoleptic friends, successfully falling asleep at a wedding is a skill very few possess usually reserved for Grand Masters.

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!
