    "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.)

    The Stream......
    I've really been digging the stream. Playing it at work every day. I hope it stays up after Boxzilla is delivered. What was that line in Ghostbusters about "The Stream"?

    Re: MilesM - Broad Shoulders
    No doubt Bob had broad shoulders and moved everything forward; a powerful figure at a pivotal time. McNally's book On Highway 61: Music, Race and the Evolution of Cultural Freedom shows a great historical perspective better than I can through a post. Its not a quick read, but its a good book and does cover the topics you mention in great detail.

    Desire and New Morning are my two personal faves!! They see the most play of all my Dylan albums. As such, Another Self-Portrait (Bootleg Series Volume 10) is a bonafide treasure chest. But I'll echo the praise for Blood On the Tracks & Time Out of Mind. Live At the Gaslight 1962 is another choice vault release. And Basement Tapes, OF COURSE. The only issue I've had post-TOoM is the high percentage of "genre" songs -- traditional folk/country/rockabilly/bluesy structures with Dylan lyrics draped on them -- as opposed to original melodies, a la "You're a Big Girl Now," "Lovesick," etc. But I confess I still haven't heard his last album...and I'll certainly cut him some slack after five decades of iconic songwriting. It's still good music, and amazing he's still as engaged & prolific as he is at age who-knows-what. Of the times I've seen him between 86-07, the Time Out of Mind tour was head & tails above any other--Bob was the lead guitarist all night! (By contrast, he never left the piano stool last time I saw him.) The Dead tour in '87 was pretty heart-cheering stuff, too, however history may assess it.

    Bob
    In my opinion Bob Dylan is the most important artist from 1960 to today. I would say of all time but I feel that Robert Johnson held the title pre 1960. Now this is a bold statement so I will not leave you without reason. If you google Bob Dylan Newport Folk Festival 1964 you can watch a nice clean cut boy play a very nice clean cut performance of tambourine man. You will notice a man in his mid-50's tapping his foot in the background. This proves that not only did young folks enjoy Bob but so did their parents. Now fast forward one year later and watch Bob's performance at the 1965 NFF. You will see Bob in a leather jacket raging through a stellar performance of Maggie's Farm. Electric guitar in hand singing how he ain't gonna work on that damn farm no more. On this day Bob Dylan changed the face of music forever. He paved the way for everyone to follow and the revolution began. His words are the fabric of our culture. It's no surprise why Jerry loved Bob's music so much. In fact I think anybody who is anybody in music realizes how important Bob is because all the greats play his music.

    Re: Genesis
    Phil's back issues have prevented him from doing anything further. He says he's interested in sitting back and only taking the drummer role. The real culprit in delaying a Genesis reunion is Peter Gabriel. He works notoriously slow and sort of half-assed says he's interested but on his own timeframe and the others can't work like that. Steve Hackett says he'd do it only if Gabriel is involved. There's not neccesarily bad blood between Tony Banks and Gabriel (and Hackett!) but their personalities clash and they have a very difficult time working together. Any true Genesis fan will tell you Tony Banks is the heart and soul of the band and the one most interested in keeping it alive. It's a complicated mess. I've a feeling it will never get sorted out. We have a brilliant back catalog to keep us company at least.

    Favorite Dylan Albums
    In no particular order: Pat Garret & Billy the Kid Street Legal - maybe my favorite Planet Waves John Wesley Harding Time out of Mind Highway 61 Bringing It all Back Home I could name 10 others at least. They're all good and unique. I'm less into the new stuff but I like Love and Theft too.Its amazing the vibe Dylan is able to create throughout an album (any album really), that's so different from his other stuff.

    Genesis
    If there were ever a reunion, which there won't be with Phil Collins (he says he physically cannot drum anymore and is officially retired), I wouldn't pick the Lamb in its entirety for the set list. I would go with a best of Gabriel era Genesis - Trespass, Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, Selling England, and the Lamb. There's really no reason they shouldn't do it without Phil. I wouldn't miss him - throw in Bruford and or Chester Thompson. It still probably wouldn't happen though - if I read between the lines correctly on their most recent documentary with all 5 of them, Hackett HATES Gabriel. And why do it all with Hackett.

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!
