    "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.)

    Speaking of Cobo - what's that jam coming out of Good Lovin'? A little Take 5 by Dave Brubeck mixing in a little Slipknot climax before transitioning to Comes A Time? Give it a listen!

    Grateful Dead Holiday Cards, No USB
    Today, I got a package today of Grateful Dead Holiday cards I did not order. I am still waiting for the USB and the extra set of tickets/backstage passes, with the hope of a miracle ticket.

    "But honestly, I don't believe you have any concept of economic systems and morality; I think you're an egocentric common citizen who envies what others have - a cornerstone of immorality. Your freedom to chastise a system that you don't understand speaks volumes about the moral charity it offers to common folk." Wow ^^^^^^^ ! "common folk" I'm sure Jerry would love that! Honestly, I bought my own house with my wife after attaining two advanced degrees through federal loans. I did this without jeopardizing my conscience and with lots of hard work over many years, gaining as much knowledge about as many subjects as I can and being the best at what I do no matter where I work or what task I am assigned. Your assumptions about my character, comments on my social status (I went to school with the Lynch family (that's of Merrill Lynch) and labeling as "common folk" is only reinforcing my opinions on capitalism. I grew up and lived among some of the most powerful and wealthy people in the country, many of them close friends but alas I was not one of them. While personal attacks are usually the easiest way to feel like you have successfully dominated another individual it is what you say that matters. I do not care about about EBAY sellers nor do I care what one person chooses to pay for a product from another person. I specifically said that people could do whatever they wanted and that is fine with me. My comments were intended to chastise the thought that just because an immoral action is legal does that make the action an acceptable choice? Slavery was legal once too, so was the lack of voting rights for women. Isn't changing a legal but immoral law to illegal status called progress? I chastised an economic system because it unfairly consolidates large amounts of capital within a small group of people, whom do not reinvest that money back into their country, but pass on their political control and wealth to their heirs. There is a reason why many capitalists including Mr. Shkriel are now facing securities fraud charges and continually lobby to have economic laws changed in there favor. I have no immediate issues with a capitalist system and yes I do benefit from it. I guess the problem lies within the capitalists themselves. I'll post an article by Stanley Bergman precisely about the concept of ethical capitalism, while I do not entirely care for the Huffington Post here is the article: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/stanley-m-bergman/ethical-capitalism-its-… The problem with capitalism that I was trying to "spew" was more of an issue with something Mr. Bergman explains more clearly than I; "The problem is not with capitalism; the problem is with those capitalists who focus on the present without caring for the future." LoveJerry says, "What other economic system allows for either the massive amounts of foreign aid our country exports around the world." I would think that just because an economic system has not yet been found or created that allows for moral fortitude and foreign aid does not mean that we can not create one. I also do not believe that any one economic system is the be all - end all of perfection and refinement is needed to truly achieve lasting success. I am a former geologist and now a science teacher so the idea that stagnation and tradition is the epitome of a successful system does not align with my understanding of evolution and progression. Our capitalist system also generates wars in order to manufacture capital for defense contractors than it does export foreign aid. Lastly, Mark Zuckerberg is not the best example of the point you are trying to make. If you think that that a kid who had access to computer technology to practice on when it was still very expensive and then attended Harvard where he questionably started Facebook is not an example of white-male privilege or at the very least had access to opportunity due to his race and economic standing. You should read some more books on the idea of white privilege, it is real. If you would like a list of books or journal articles that discusses these topics further please PM me. Yours Truly, "Ego-centric Common Citizen with No Understanding"

    USb questions
    I can be slow on these new fangled doohickeys and trying to get a mental picture of the device, as I still might grab one for capitalistic gambling pursuits. From the various descriptions I still can't figure out the Bolt it self. Is it really metal, which would be a potential shock hazard? How much does weigh? Is there a USB cable or does this heavy metal memory stick plug into a USB slot, which on my audio PC are all on the rear of the machine? The cut song fade aspect is weird and Rhino should go for a seamlees transition on both CDs and digital files, fade outs remind me of 8 tracks, old technology. What about the 1973 show song order? THANKS

    This should be a fairly comprehensive list of fade outs/ins due to disc limitations. In addition to these, 1973's tracklist was rearranged in order to fit on 3 discs, so it'd be interesting to see how the USB version compares to the actual setlist (i'm guessing it mirrors the physical set release) 1976 - Drums -> Wheel 1978 - Drums -> NFA 1980 - Drums -> Space 1982 - Drums -> Space 1983 - Drums -> Space 1984 - Drums -> Space 1985 - Drums -> Space 1987 - Man Smart -> Terrapin 1988 - Drums -> Space 1989 - Drums -> Space 1990 - Drums -> Space 1991 - Drums -> Space 1992 - Drums -> Space 1993 - Drums -> Space 1994 - Drums -> Space 1995 - Drums -> Space

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!
