    "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.)

    Bad disk resolution
    I had 2 separate disk replacement issues. When I first got the box I did an initial disk inspection and found 2 disks that had big cracks in them. Reported it to customer service and received the replacements in about 10 days or so. Then as I was going through and listening I discovered that disk 3 of the 74 show was bad. Major skipping at the end of the disk. I reported that along with some other minor damage issues to a couple of cases. I received that replacement shipment about 3 weeks. I was also told that a follow up email would be sent which I never received. At least I got all of my issues resolved. I think I got my first replacement much faster because it was right at the beginning. As time has gone on they have obviously been getting more and more replacement requests.

    Reply : 30T replacements, I'm still waiting for some Good Lovin'
    From the Good Ol' Dr. Rhino. Waiting,,, Its been a while (more or less approximately a month) and really losing a lot of steam in the chronolgical 30 Trips. F Dr. Rhino on this one, I aborted the 30 Trips, when I arrived at the damages. However, the 3 shows I did hear (1966-1968) are very nice and the damages gives me time to revisit those 3 nuggets. I have heard the Dream Bowl show many times, I bypassed that one and the show from 1970 (both damaged). Keeping with the spirit of 30 Trips, I did get my fill of both years, stopping by for a visit - Grateful Dead Live at McArthur Court, University of Oregon on 5.31.69 :) On RSD, I scored a bootleg of 4.3.70- The Grateful Dead Live at Field House, University of Cincinnati :) and substituted that instead of my damaged 4.15.70, which I got from dead.net. Seems like some stage banter was cut on this boot, still looking for that piece of banter. 4.3.70 has quite a bit of buzz and hum that is prevalent throughout much of the recording, similar to 4.18.70 release, including a killer That's It For The Other One -> Cosmic Charlie. Another 30 trips complaint,, no Friend of the Devil from 1970 !?! Now I have speed over the 2 damaged duds I got from dead.net, I may resume with 3.18.71

    Missing Disc 1 from Riverbend '85
    Called customer service and they did like you said, took my order number and what not and said a replacement would be sent. But they also said I'd get a follow up email, which I haven't received yet. Still not sweating, yet. For anyone else who had disc issues, how long did it take to get resolved? I was listening chronologically and am derailed for the moment. Can always go back and savor. Blessing in disguise, that '81 show from Cornell is really hot. Even with the audience patch at the end. Still, of all the places to get stuck, '82, '83, '84 wasn't the best. Did like the '84 a lot on first listen, time to go back and revisit these five.

    Being in the UK, it'll probably take a little longer to receive .... but it will probably be a similar insult to that I received a couple of weeks ago. What joker at CS thinks that a fucking ticket stub makes up for this disaster !Fucking useless wankers !

    I Never Win
    ...until today. The Boston classic rock station I always listen to regularly has trivia questions related to the Grateful Dead; I pretty much always know the answers but never get through. Today was the exception...it was a very easy question (what was the first song played at Fare Thee Well on Friday night in Chicago)...I actually was able to get through as caller #5 and of course spewed the correct answer (Box of Rain). So I won something from the official Fare Thee Well Releases...I think it was the 2-disc compilation. I'll take it for the cost of a phone call and information sharing. Karma came around for me this time. Happy, Sixtus

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!
