    "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.)

    Response to Tony is Dead
    Tony - I dont think its foolish to break up the set... My purpose is two-fold...1) to give those heads who cant afford the whole box or dont want all years - to select the shows they want and 2) to probably make about 200 bucks profit all up to cover the poor aussie exchange rate and shipping cost. I bought two sets - so i could be of service.... Also just bought the 18cd dylan box and selling the high-rez download card - so any offers - let me know - im keeping the box but NO need for downloads......

    If you get a chance to see him..go for it. I haven't seen him in a couple years, but saw him 12 times from 2007-2013 and all the shows were awesome. He's still got a very good band behind him.

    That's foolish to break up the set like that...I don't think you should do it...but do you have the set? when cd-r came out I tried buying an album burning it then selling the original cd but somehow it just didn't feel right I like having the real thing even though in theory there's probably not a difference between the real thing and the burned copy but in the mind there is...I think the set is shipping soon...although not one person mentioned that fact it may be...I was contacted by the dead if my address was correct for this order but no one else mentioned for some reason there's a disucussion on Dylan tonight...far as calling Dylan a kook for the gospel tour then your talking about something you don't understand...outside of anybody I don't recall better written gospel songs written by a songwriter...take any song from slow train and they're either prophetic, genius or just plain great...I won't tell you why but it's not preachy...I think by "Saved" it's getting boring but still those same songs worked a lot better in his live show than on the album...solid rock is close to good as any gospel song I heard outside of amazing grace and songs of that elk....I believe in you and when he returns are chilling!

    Gospel
    I think Dylan's album Street Legal got lumped in with the gospel ones because it evokes that sense of impending change that soon after erupted into full-blown born-again kook. I don't think any of those songs mentions Jesus explicitly but they sound evangelical somehow. The "Changing of the Guard" was coming. He ended most shows in late 1978 with that song. And yes, do seek out the bootlegs where he sermonizes and only sings the new gospel songs (starting with the Fox Warfield SF shows on 11/1/79). He soon after began to weave in some of the old hits but at first he fancied himself a real fire-and-brimstone preacher. I'm glad he moved on before too long. That act would have grown old fast. Still, it's fascinating to re-visit it.

    That song got a hold of me too, from the first listen. I stopped what I was doing. A powerful song.., I rewound it and listened to it again. I completely agree with that comment. I bet there's not a person on this board that didn't personalize the meaning of that one. Good stuff all.

    dave strang and Dylan comment
    You ask to imagine being 16/18 in 65 and hearing dylan. I was only 9, and yeah, Bob had it. Remember the power of the times they are a changin. I remember singing How Many Roads in church. Bob broke thru in ways others didn't. You would hear him on AM stations after Frank Sinatra, before Mr Sandman. Where you never hear the Dead on those type stations. Back when AM was all there was and it played top 40. Are there any stations like that today,, everything is pigeon-holed. Don't know if this Dylan been thrown in yet, but,,,, but his last album Shadows in the Night was great. You need to listen all the way thru and not pick and choose, but what a mood piece.

    Actually, Chuck Berry and to a lesser degree Buddy Holly were two of the first to write their own songs, but you wouldn't say they were singer/songwriters. I think Chuck Berry was discounted because he was black even though he wrote some of the greatest rock & roll songs of all time, and we all know what happened to Buddy Holly. And yes, Neil Diamond was one of the last to go out on his own. Even Lou Reed worked for a songwriting house pre-Velvet Underground. While the Beatles wrote their own lyrics and music they still sang about the glory and pitfalls of love. Bob Dylan was the first to write and sing outside of the 'love' box (no jokes guys, that one's way too easy). Imagine being 16 or 18 years old and hearing "You gotta lotta nerve, to say you are my friend" coming out of your transistor radio in 1965. NOBODY had done ANYTHING like that before. Even if you hated it, you stopped to listen because it was unchartered territory. Dylan was the first to show the possibility of a 2 1/2 -3 minute pop song. After 1965 there was no turning back.

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!
