    "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.)

    Sampling Boxzilla since the stream has been available and I am VERY impressed! About a show a day and mixing up the years and today was 1971. Wow! The whole show is so diverse yet so together. The boys are very tight. That Wharf Rat was too good to be true. Love this band.

    I remember you championing the Music Box a few weeks back. If they get in my neck of the woods I will be there! Never thought about Bob being the chief killer of Tin Pan Alley but you are correct. I mean he (and of course the Beatles as a group) launched the singer/songwriter era. Is that correct? Wasn't Neal Diamond the last great Tin Pan Alley writer before he broke out on his own???

    You have heard of Cowboy. I am too young, well in my 50's and climbing. But I only heard of Cowboy recently. Documentary - Song of the South - they discuss Cowboy some and the Hour Glass. The guys from Hour Glass mention opening for Grateful Dead at the Filmore (I think). They say the blew the doors off. I am sure they did well. There has been a discussion among heads for years about the Moutain Jam tease Jerry does in 1968 or so? I think I heard it maybe on the 1968 Valentine's Road Trip. The discussion was always that the Allman Brothers got that more solidified jam from Jerry's musings. However, if/when Hour Glass (with Duane and Greg) opened for Grateful Dead, it would make sense that Jerry heard Duane teasing/working out that riff. Discussion? As far as Cowboy, just went and heard them a couple of weeks back. Did not know there story until the following article. Small joint, place packed. I sat outside and listened for a while. http://www.al.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2015/09/scott_boyer_talks_cow… edit: I cannot remember, I am sure some here do, where the Mountain Jam riff was lifted from???

    I really like the streaming format, had some fun clicking through each show and listening just to the drums sections. It's neat to hear the change in sound over the years. I agree on the band 'The Musical Box'. I believe they're touring again with the Selling England and Foxtrot albums. Just to hear 'Supper's Ready' is worth the price of admission. cheers, Mark

    MMiles: I'll go with Bob for 1960 forward, if we have to have just one. And we are talking music. If by Robert Johnson, you mean the man himself, I think you are wrong. If you mean 'Robert Johnson' as a stand-in for dozens of blues musicians who arose in the 1910-1930s from Texas to the Delta to the Carolinas, you have an argument. But for the pre-1960s it loses to: Louis Armstrong. JiminMD--you are right to recommend McNally's book On Highway 61 for historical perspective, and interesting opinion. Another book, that uses Robert Johnson as a way to look at the development of the blues, and its revivial in the '60s, is Escaping the Delta by Elijiah Wald. Finally, Ted Gioia's Delta Blues is informative, though is not the all-inclusive survey it is marketed as. McNally's and Gioia's books are easier reads, Wald's more deeply insightful.

    Re: GenesisAs someone who saw the 'Lamb' tour at the Phila., Pa. Civic Center in 1975, I urge, prod, goad anyone interested in this album to see the Genesis tribute band 'the Musical Box'. The performance I saw in Atlantic City, N.J. in 2005 is as close as any of us will get to the real thing. They have the bands' blessing and were given the slide show that plays behind the band as they perform the music. If I get the chance, I would go and see them perform the 'Selling England…' show (I was fortunate enough to see this tour twice) to see how accurate their performance is. I would jump through hoops to see the 'Foxtrot' show since I never saw this tour. Re: Bob Dylan According to Wikipedia, 6 Bob Dylan singles are released in 1965 (Muleskinner you might have more accurate dates?): 1. The Times They Are A-Changin' (3/8/65) (You have received your warning!) 2. Subterranean Homesick Blues (3/8/65)? 3. Maggie's Farm (6/?/65) 4. Like A Rolling Stone (7/20/65) 5. Positively 4th St. (7/29/65) (only available on Greatest Hits - the 1st to do this?) 6. Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window? (12/21/65) Common thread? Not one of these singles extoll the virtues of love nor lament the loss of it either. Unless I'm mistaken, Bob Dylan was the first musician/band to get on the radio consistently, while not singing about 'Love'. He wrote his own lyrics, he composed his own music (and yes, he stole liberally from folk and blues, who the hell doesn't?), he was young, he was defiant, and most of all he was confrontational while hiding in plain sight. In one year Bob Dylan single-handedly killed Tin Pan Alley and the Brill Building (sorry Carole King) and popular music would never be the same.

I do include the "Southern" bands in my list: Poco, Marshall Tucker, Charlie Daniels, Commander Cody, Souther Hillman & Furay, ABB, Grinderswitch, Elvin Bishop, The Byrds, Cowboy, The Jayhawks, Flying Burrito Bros., Leftover Salmon, Kingfish, Mudcrutch, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ozark Mt. Daredevils, Outlaws, Henry Paul, NRPS. And Wilco's first album, A.M. Rock on

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!
