    "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.)

    *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'm on 1994 right now (Promised Land.. last track.. disc 1).Honestly, so far, I'm impressed. 1992 didn't disappoint, and I enjoyed 1993. This one also, you can't tell Jerry was a zombie nor do I have to listen to Vince much singing. The lack of Baba O-Reilly in the set lists has been pleasant. :-) I do see Samba in the Rain is waiting for me on disc 2 of 1995. I'll have to load up on Maalox that day. But in all honesty, everything up to right now, has been a joy! I still have so much I have to back and catch up on once I get through this box, I'm actually racing through these last few. What I have to catch up on: Old / In the Way - Live @ The Boarding House JGB - On Broadway - Act One Dave's Picks 16 J. Garcia - Collected Artworks (2 CD's) and a few more. But those are the main 4 I need to get through... I have to listen to everything I own at least once, and those are my latest 4.... Then I'm just about done and have all the stuff listened to.

    While I have no idea if that pic was taken in Jamaica or at the US Festival, I just wanted to clarify an earlier issue... that being that The Clash DID play the US Festival. In fact, it was the very last gig they did with the 3 original members, as shortly thereafter, Mick Jones decided to head for greener (???) pastures, i.e. Big Audio Dynamite. Thanks for posting the pic Kate_C. Regardless of it's origin, I'd never seen it before, and it's nice to know that one side of my musical lineage rubbed shoulders at some point with another side of the family tree!

    re: prafter, dstrang
    prafter.. I think the FW box set was priced at or around $100 ($109 comes to mind). I agree, that could be the very best box set that made its way to me.. I think a tour such as E72 deserves a steamer trunk. Not to caviar for me. If you price it out by CD.. it was basically free anyway (less than $7 per CD, I think). DStrang, I think Da 8 is a sleeper. Cool beyond its recognition. Under-rated in my opinion. I'd be fine to see the night before be given the royal treatment. What could possible go wrong. __________ One small edit: The 30 trips '80 show was 11/28/80. What a great sequence. They should all be released one day.

    The entry for 1980 is from The Fox Theatre in Atlanta, Ga. 11/30/80. Please do yourself a favor and listen to the night before 11/29/80 in Gainesville, Fl. I guess they didn't have the tapes etc. but this show should have been included as the 1980 entry in the 30 TATs box, it's that good. i downloaded it from Archive and listen regularly.

    re: Ironman/wallet lightening
    I concur with your comments regarding the price of a ticket to ride the Dead carousel.While Boxzilla and Europe '72 are impressive, for me, the simplicity of the Fillmore 1969 Box is ideal. We get the music we pay for, without taking up swaths of household real estate with various sized Boxes, Steamer Trunks & oversized CD cases (May 77) that we pay extra for. I just crave the tuneage and to hell with the ephemera clutter. Except for May 77, at least they had the good sense to create normal CD sized cases. to brianhahne - whaddya think about the 95 show when you hear it? I was quite surprised, it's quite good. I prefer the 67-77 period in my Live Dead shows, but Boxzilla has been great at connecting me to all the Live Dead Era's. The only show I haven't liked is the '89 Trip, as Brent's keyboard sound grates on my ears. Here's looking forward to what Dave's Picks has in store for us

    No Sell Out
    I see that despite the initial teething problems now having been solved, the USB version of 30 Trips has still not sold out. Interestingly too, the 18CD Deluxe version of Bob Dylan's The Cutting Edge too seems to still be in plentiful supply. Now I was so sure that that limited 5,000 copies only world wide edition would sell out in nano-seconds that I placed my order the instant I read about it on my iPhone while taking a dump on the Kaiser just minutes before racing out the door to pick my 14 year old son up at the airport from a school trip to China. My bank immediately flagged the >$1,000 AUD transaction as potentially fraudulent and put a stop on my credit card so that next thing I find myself stuck at the airport carpark with no cash on me and "credit declined" on the Visa card that I'm sticking into the parking meter. I'm glad that they are zealously protective but coincidentally, my Visa card also went into lockdown the very day that the Europe'72 Box set was announced. Like many others there is (presumably) a limit on how many multi-hundred dollar box sets I can justify purchasing (to myself let alone my wife!!) so please keep those releases coming but maybe go a little easier on our wallets this year.

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!
