    "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.

    I hear ya! Lindley Meadows is an all-time favorite of mine, and that alone made this box a must have for me (though there are many other great shows in this box as well). Also, thank you for your service. Several Marines in this Deadhead's family and extended family.

    Spoiling it all with streaming..
    I planned to wait for the product in hand too. I went ahead and started listening though. I've only gotten through the first 3 shows, so I am not too worried that I've ruined it. That still leaves 27 trips. Looking at some more of the set lists, I am super excited about the '77 show. I think the only favorite they didn't play that night for me would be Big River or maybe one of Bob's other cowboy songs. I think I am going to be very pleased with the shows from '77-'81. Really can't wait.

    Dylan Revisited
    I really enjoyed the Dylan thread over the last few days. Interesting stuff and some profound comments. Dylan was at the center of a movement, but I think a few others deserve a little credit too.. The Woody Guthrie, Pete Seegar, Pete and Alan Lomax, Harry Smith and Delta movement certainly influenced him. Not much of that was mainstream or tin pan alley, cookie cutter stuff. The beats and poets likely played a role. He was certainly aware of Ginsberg, Kerouac and the like. But perhaps Albert Grossman, as much as anyone, deserves a bit of a silent nod. Much like the Colonial did with Elvis, Grossman provided access and marketing to Dylan in his formative years and had a lot to do with his success and ultimately influence. Not to take away from his talent, that goes without saying. Just a few thoughts.. I think tin pan alley had lived beyond its useful life by the time Dylan came along. He probably was the one that pulled the plug, but the times were changing.. he gave the new times a fresh voice and spoke for the new generation. Anyway, really good stuff. I shouldn't be surprised how well you all know your music and history. I am often humbled. I guess that's why we read this stuff. Great thread and great contributions everyone, thanks a lot.

    11/8/70 and my 30 Trips plan
    Someone mentioned 6/24/70 Capitol Port Chester, an excellent show, but for anyone that loves this period of the Dead, do yourself a favor and listen to 11/8/70, also the Capitol Port Chester. A one hour acoustic set, a bit over an hour New Riders w/Garcia etc., and an electric set that starts with a version of Morning Dew that will blow you out of the room. The second part of the electric set starts in with Truckin' right into Dark Star and keeps going weaving an early Main Ten ending with Dancing, then NFA, Good Lovin'. There is a solo gong/feedback/percussion section in the middle of Dark Star. Sophisticated performance, not usual. A decent audience recording circulating, never heard of a soundboard. Sounds like a balcony recording (drums are distant in the back but Lesh/Garcia shine). The aud circulating captures the sound of the room really well, limitations mentioned, but the band comes through. The early part of the electric set is also unusual. I haven't listened to any of the streams and I will wait for my USB. My plan was originally to start at the beginning and go to the end, but now I think I'm going to do something a little different. I like contrast, and so I plan to start in the middle and work back and forth, ending at the beginning, sort of like this: 1980, 1979, 1981, 1978, 1982, 1977, 1983, 1976 etc. I'm trying to figure it out so that 1995 is second to last and 1966 will be the end (or the beginning of my next trip through their music).

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!
