    "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.)

    Anybody have Dave's Picks 1 for sale ?
    For a Reasonable price ? Can do cash, credit, or trade. Lots of good stuff showing up at my doorstep lately, make an offer if ya got it and are willing to part. Or Fillmore West Complete Recordings ? If you are searching like me, I may have what you are looking for. Hey Forensicdocevelen, what is the good word in regard to 3.11.71 - U. Centre Ballroom, Dekalb, IL ? Was this show cancelled ? 4.18.71 going a few days ago,, excellent Truckin : Hard To Handle. And the Drums during Good Lovin' ,, so nice Billy K is killing it. I may just have to call him "Billy Killin'IT" Edit: Is there any truth or can someone confirm if the Grateful Dead played a show at Kent State on 4.2.71 ? One person says it happened at a small bar and not a large venue. 2 days later they would be in NYC, but no local records show they played at Kent State. Being the middle of the semester I suppose school newspapers would have documented this, but nothing has turned up.

    To TPTB: Please, please, please free the Fillmore West Complete Recordings from their captivity. Make it a brown box special so the original pressing is more valuable. Just like old Beatle records - 1st generation pressings are worth the most! Re-Release for the 50th Please! Thank you!

    4.13.83 primo
    Included in the Jeebs stash, as was Riverbend 85. Jeebs was always trying to find some of the more quality recordings from all eras. I suspect a few of these 30 trips shows were picked based upon higher quality sound compared to others in the same year. And a few were also picked to save some meat for releases in other series. 1980 does standout considering August, September, October all have some very special stuff. One show Jeebs didn't recommended was 6.24.83 probably because only Audience are circulating. But this one is a dandy. Sets fire from first contact. And the Candyman > Red Rooster is full throttle. April 84 showing up lately, and 4.29.84 is going way under the radar.

    Ten years from now....
    ....when I'm pushing sixty, I imagine them releasing a huge box to store all the boxes. Hopefully in the shape of a vintage VW bus, circa '74, with a pop top. That would be neat...really neat. ....some of those buses were awesome eye candy. Even in the late eighties, they turned my head, Dead that is....

    Choices of shows
    Really impressed by the choices made here, especially post-1978. Dave really put together a fantastic set. I'm wondering if there are any choices that people are second-guessing, and if so, what would they replace them with (knowing what we know about the contents of the Vault). Remember, I'm not complaining! I love this set, purchased one, and can't wait to dive in. But we've got to pass the time somehow until 9/18 and keyboardist debates can get old (and sometimes violent). I feel the choices for 1966, 1967, 1969, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1979, 1981, 1982, 1984, 1987, 1989, 1991, 1992, 1993, and 1994 are spot-on. Wouldn't change a thing. I don't know much about the choices for 1968, 1983, 1986, or 1990, so I won't comment on them. I love the choice of 4/15/70. Great show. But I would have gone with 9/20/70 to get some of that Fall 1970 sound. If that's not in the Vault (unclear), then I'm fine with this choice. They also could have used 6/7/70, which is in the Vault. I also love the pick of 3/18/71, but its the exclusion of December '71 material that has me second-guessing. 12/5/71 or 12/15/71 are up there too! A complete 8/6/71 would also have been nice, but much of that show is out with DP35 and RT 1.3. The 1972 choice is interesting. The one that circulates could use some cleaning up, and that may catapult the show into top-tier status. Much of October 1972 is not in the Vault, so choices like 10/18/72 and 10/28/72 aren't options. I would have gone with 9/28/72 from September or either of the Berkley shows if not 9/24/72. That said, I'm looking forward to the Vault's copy of this show. Again, 11/14/73 is a GREAT show. Love it. Happy with the choice. But I would have picked 6/10/73, 10/25/73, or one of the March shows over it. 1977 is a unique case. I would have taken a number of shows over 4/25, but they're not in the Vault. 2/26, 5/5-5/9, 10/29, and 11/6 aren't there. 3/18 could have been a great pick...perhaps someday? However, I'm happy with what I've heard of 4/25 and this is a worthy choice. I'm a bit baffled by the choice for 1978. I've always felt that '78 got worse as the year went on, with January > Feb > April > May. I know 1/22/78 and Red Rocks aren't in the Vault, and all 3 would have been great options. Maybe 4/21/78? With DP18, From Egypt with Love, COW, and DaP7, some of the best shows are already out there. Similarly, the 1980 choice is confusing. Obviously, I would have hoped for an acoustic set from Sept or Oct, but those were chopped for Reckoning and Dead Set. I always felt 11/29 was a superior show to 11/28, and 6/20 would have also been a better choice. I like 6/24/85, but it pales in comparison to 6/30 or 7/1. Hopefully, those are a mini-box at some point. There are some good November shows, but I'd still go with 6/24 over those. I'm no expert on 1988 or 1995, but I always felt 7/2/88 was the best show of '88 and 3/30/95 was the best of '95. What do you think?

    Re: Choices of Shows, Brent
    In response to Mr. Jack Straw...here is my quick 2 cents. Overall, I am very excited about most of the selections in this box set. He was either spot on (10/27/79), or very close (6/24/85) with a lot of the choices...in my opinion. However...here are a few dates I would trade out for. 1981: 3/6/81 ...amazing show...Let it Grow>Deal is a must hear, as is the Estimated>Franklin's. Would have loved to have seen 7/10/81 also...awesome 2nd set. Hope this could be a Dave's pick soon. 1983: Most of the Spring tour, especially 4/13/83 (one of the best Scarlet>Fires EVER), and 6/20/83 would have been incredible to see in this box. 1985: 6/27/85, Saratoga: great playing, inspired setlist...including Feel Like a Stranger> Eyes, a 1st set Crazy Fingers, and an exciting Supplication jam Whoever does not know these shows should check them out. Quickly on Brent...I did not learn to appreciate him until well after even Jerry died. I love his early singing more than his later years, but I LOVE Blow Away these days. I also love a nice Far From Me. I would have laughed myself out of town 20 years ago if I heard myself say these things...but there you go.

    Brent, et al.
    Just a Little Light, Blow Away, Easy to Love You, I Will Take You Home, all fine by me. Do the people railing on IWTYH have children? Hey Pocky Way cover was a highlight. I agree the Blow Away rap was cring-inducing at times, but the song structure and way it jammed out to an unexpected stop, particularly '89 versions, was great. My reaction to much of the "90 boxes was that the band was lucky Brent was there, because he was working like mad to keep these songs coherent. A little like Garth Hudson for The Band--the more you listen, the songs are really his keyboards combined with all the sweet singing. Except for the Dead you had not so sweet singing, at that point, usually. Bob's 'angular' later songs? Throwing Stones, Picasso Moon, Feel Like a Stranger--love them all. I expect some of the highlight shows not included in this newest box are to save for later DPs and boxes.

    Noticeably absent from the box altogether. Was always my favorite encore, just perfect.

    May post more later, but I
    May post more later, but I was at the Cincy '85 show and was a little surprised that it was selected. I hope DL2 gives us some thoughts on how the shows were selected . . . I mean, after all, that's part of the fun of being an obsessive Deadhead is engaging in such arcanity (and why the Boys still make lots of money off us!). I thought a good show, better than most during that period in which Jerry was so obviously seriously impaired, but would have thought Saratoga a few nights later or one of the Red Rocks shows, or the Halloween show in Columbia, SC with the Space opening of set 1(which was quite good). Also a bit confused why none of the anniversary shows from 1980 were selected instead of a pretty pedestrian Lakeland, FL show. Any clues on that one? I mean, is it correct that the NOLA shows were not recorded by Healey or Betty? I've always loved the AUD of that second show with the Brokedown encore. Please don't take this as whining . . . it's not. I bought on day 3 (had to fix debit card max charge and didn't realize the snafu for a couple of days) and think this will be superb. This may be the product that my kids (25 and 21) really come to grips with the importance of the Dead as a musical phenomena as opposed to a social and commercial one. Anyway, just rambling gambling thoughts! DCFHOF. It's time. Kentucky Scott

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!
