    "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

    *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.

    Corrupted files
    DallanW - Mine was a different volume. It is easy for files to become corrupted, not the sources but the generated copy for download. Customer service here is excellent, it's just a small number of people with a lot of demanding customers. I have bought many gigs of download files. Out of roughly 400 separate tracks, two were defective. That is about 99.5% perfect files. Not bad, pretty damn good, basically excellent quality control. I wish everything I dealt with met the standards here!

    I won't get into childish name calling as you have("@davestrang aka bigot"). If my reply to MinasMorgul upsets you or seems harsh, too bad. I DO NOT appreciate being likened to elitist snobs who care more about the color of someone's skin and the contents of their wallet and bank account instead of the content of their character and their personal achievements. The experiences I recounted in my reply to MinasMorgul are all true and my opinions of the residents come from 27 years of living among them. The truth is unpleasant sometimes but it's still the truth. That being said, I will not look for, nor reply to any further posts from you or MinasMorgul. I won't turn this into a p*ssing contest.

    You sir are way out of line. There are many obnoxious things I could write about you and your thoughts but I don't want to turn this into the Zappa site. I'll leave my simple truth in the title say what needs to be said

    Your English is fine, there's no need for excuses. I admire you greatly for having seen any of the Europe '72 shows. 5/4/72 was a great concert also. 'Sugar Magnolia' was taken from this show for the original Europe '72 album, so I think that speaks for how highly it's regarded as well. The inclusion of 2 shows from France is an indication that your country brought out that special GD *magic* too. I can well understand your excitement over 30 Trips!

    DaveStrang,I have unfortunately not attended the show of 5/3/72 but I attended that of 5/4 (with a great, great Dark Star). That was one of the three biggest shows of my life, taking into account all the artists I've seen on stage. And it was the month of my 18 years. The Grateful Dead European tour 1972 tour is probably my favorite. There were many excellent concerts on this tour, and that of May 3 was magical, actually. The Parisian show of September 21, 1974 was not a big show. That is why I am eager to receive 30 Trips and hear the show in Dijon, gave three days earlier. Finally, I was at the concert on October 28, 1990, the tomorrow of the show that is in 30 Trips. Both evenings were very good evenings. I was amazed that 30 Trips has two concerts in France. My top 5? It's difficult. I'm going to try. May 4, 1972, Paris, France August 27, 1972, Veneta, Or. December 31, 1972, San Francisco, Ca. May 19, 1974, Portland, Or. May 8, 1977, Ithaca, NY. Mbarilla, I also really like the concert of May 14, 1974. For cons, I do not know that of October 2, 1972. (Excuse my English).

    Have you ever lived in Ocean City? Or are you one of the good "Christians" who currently reside there? Or better yet are you one of the good "Christians" who come to Ocean City for 4 months and have the audacity to call yourself a "local"? As for me I lived there for 27 years, day in, day out, hurricanes, Nor'easters and all. During that 27 years I've talked with shopkeepers, people in line at WaWa on Memorial Day weekend when the line was 30 people deep, people at the library (and they have a beautiful, well stocked library) who decried all the "outsiders" moving in when they themselves are only there 4 months out of the year and have never experienced a Nor'easter themselves. My next door neighbor (a 4 month "local") who liberally used the 'N' word was on the verge of selling his condo when a black family just RENTED the bungalow across the street. My own landlord was a racist prick who considered selling for the same reason. He also had the nerve to call himself a "local" yet ran back to Cherry Hill as soon as any storm clouds moved in. Neither sold their property once they found out the black family was only staying for a year. You say "slander" when I'm talking from experience. As for you Morgul HOW DARE YOU liken me to those narrow-minded, racist, bigoted, homophobic good "Christian" sons-of-bitches? F*CK YOU and the horse you came off in!

    Thanks, Rhino had a tape about a catalog. Dead.net customer service said they'd look into it. Glad I'm not alone, and they know. Just surprised they don't fix it. In the mean time i just went to archive and inserted an audience copy for now.

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!
