    "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.)

    When you say top five 5....
    ....I assume you mean top 5 shows attended. I narrowed it down to a top 6. No particular order, so I will list them chronologically....it was a long time ago.... 7.26.87 Anaheim Stadium. My first Shakedown and Dylan!!! 7.31.88 Laguna Seca. Midnight Hour encore, final Gentlemen Start Your Engines. David Hidalgo sat in on Rooster and West LA. Awesome scene.... 2.12.89 Great Western Forum. More Dylan and Spencer Davis! Second set pre-Drumz was as follows... Iko Iko Monkey & The Engineer Alabama Getaway Dire Wolf Cassidy Memphis Blues-> Drumz ....the night before was excellent as well, but I was really, really tripping hard that night, so a review may be too subjective.... 8.5.89 Cal Expo Playin'->I Know You Rider....nuff said 5.12.91 Shoreline First Train To Cry in almost 20 years. Mother's Day show. Roses everywhere.... 5.31.92 Sam Boyd Silver Bowl Steve Miller opened. Attics out of drumz. Miller sat in on Spoonful->TOO->Dew and the Baba O'Riley->TNK encore.... ....as you can see, I like my guest appearances..... ....honorable mentions. Every other show I saw, except 5.19.95 Sam Boyd. That one was a turd. We almost,(I said almost), walked out. Sensed the storm clouds coming that night....

    Yeah I loved 48th street. I would go to Mannys just for the hang and check the people. Never knew who could walk in there. I remember when Sam Ash bought their shop, that was a heavy blow.One time I watched a guy try and steal a camera from a shop. He grabbed it and ran outside, the shop keeper vaulted over the display and chased him! And I swear to the Lord this is true, the theif ran outside the shop into the street right into the side of a mounted cop! The fool ran straight into the horses side. The cop just reached down and grabbed the guys collar while the shop keeper was screaming in Korean at him. I couldn't believe what I was observing. I laughed over that for hours. Fate was a bitch for that idiot that day. Going down to Washington Square ANYTIME day or night for the wildest collection of folks humanity had to offer. And going up to the west side to hang at Cafe la Fortuna, because that was John and Yokos favorite coffee shop. That's gone now too I know. Hold tight to what's left!

    Hey Alain
    While you may have seen the band "only" 3 times, I think all would agree you were able to see them in 3 of the greatest years possible. If you saw the 5/3/72 Paris show, then I would say , and I think most would agree, you saw one of the greatest Dead shows of all time. 'Jack', 'Jed', and 'China/Rider' were all taken from this show for the original 'Europe '72'. How about it Deadland would you agree? Disagree? Your top 5?

    FloridaBob - Thanks for reminding me that some things are still left...The White Horse is still there, for now. If you stayed on 14th and University, then you may remember Bowlmor Lanes on University Place (just 2 blocks down from your landlord's)? Gone, after 76 years, to make way for yet another "luxury condos" glass tower. I know you play guitar, so maybe you remember Music Row, all those music stores (Sam Ash, Manny's Music, etc.) on 48th Street? All gone now, except for one holdout that won't be there much longer. More luxury condos coming soon. There are a thousand more examples of the above. Don't mean to make you blue, but it is what's happening. Jim - I know, and NY was always changing, but the rate at which they are tearing down the old, beautiful architecture and replacing it with generic high-rises has reached a fever pace. Anyway, I'll shut up now.

    The shows that I wish I had in "30 Trips"
    French living in France, I have only seen three times the Grateful Dead in my life (in May 1972, in September 1974 and October 1990). The shows that I wish I had in "30 Trips" : 31/12/1972: after Truckin', the longest jam I've ever heard(43 minutes!), and a Morning Dew very well built and very moving; 05/19/1094: a China> Rider and Goin 'Down The Road Feeling Bad very hots, and after Truckin' a jam very blues-jazz, which gives me chills every time I listen; 08.28.1981: the most interesting show I know of to 1981.

    We will have to just agree to disagree, my friend. Admittedly, both Saved and Street Legal have some individual strong tracks, I don't think either of them stand up as the same quality as most other Dylan albums as a whole. I see you left Down In The Groove off your post. I'll assume that you agree with my assessment of that one as a "turd." Again, even though they are my least-favorite Dylan albums, they are still better than most work by most other artists, IMHO.

    Dantian. Bad news
    Reading your posts is making me blue! NYC was the coolest place I'd been back in the day. Starting going in 87 as my landlord lived there. Stayed with her down in University and 14th a bunch of times. Saw some incredible sights just getting a slice and sitting watching the sidewalks. Always a fun time hanging in Manhatten. To think of those icons not there sucks. Didn't Dave like the White Horse Tavern?

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!
