    "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.)

    ROLLINGSTONE.COM SONG PREMIERE AND EXCLUSIVE DAVID LEMIEUX INTERVIEW
    Head on over to Rollingstone.com for the very first listen of "Morning Dew" 9/18/87 Madison Square Garden, David Fricke's exclusive interview with archivist David Lemieux, and the reveal of 30 TRIPS AROUND THE SUN's '69 and '84 shows.

    *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.

    1992 is pretty gag worthy. Sorry for my negatory opinion here, but Weir's vocals are the worst ever. His bizarre attention-getting antics are just horrible. Why wouldn't a friend tell him to cut the crap? What was the word someone here used for his antics? It was a good word but I forget.

    morgul (and usb)
    I'd have been okay with BTO and Rush, and a bit o' Toys In the Attic...if you wouldn't have driven me off with the very first song! You could lure me back with some Black Sabbath Volume 4.... Heck, I'll even give Nugent credit for resurrecting my 7th grade persona against all expectation as an opening act in 2000. His verbal offerings were, of course, a whole 'nother level of entertainment. All due sympathies to the USBers among us. With all life throws at us, your patience shouldn't have to be stretched over a gift to yourselves that's supposed to bring a box of sunshine. I can only testify that this collection of shows is worth having, even if your 50th Anniversary parade is all but rained out. The music is still the imminent sunshine.

    90s Gooder Than 80s?
    I admit, I'm not much of a connoisseur of Dead music after 1978, but since buying this 30 Trips set, I'm really blown away by the 90s stuff. These are literally the only shows I have from the 90s, other than DP 27, which I just picked up, and which is fantastic. Is it just that the good shows are few and far between that nobody talks up the Vince era? DP 27, goodness sakes - Feel Like A Stranger, Shakedown Street, all disc 3 with Dark Star, Watchtower, Stella, Throwing Stones, Baba O'Riley, Tomorrow Never Knows. This guy's keyboards sound like so much better a fit than any of the Spring 90 stuff or MSG '87 stuff I've heard, where the keyboards are just this dissonant clutter upon the mix. If it's got to be the 80s, I much prefer the 1980 stuff when it was mostly Hammond-type sound, and whatever is used on Feel Like a Stranger (almost sounds like a Moog - maybe it is).

    You have full right under local and federal laws to get a full refund. The product is on extensive delay. Consider cancelling, the USB stick is not coming for a long time.

    Foghat and USB
    I was never a Foghat fan, though I couldn't name 3 Foghat songs:-). I have a massive collection and a buddy called me the other day and whined that I had no Foghat in it. I was like "OK", I'll get some just for you. Got 5 or 6 of their albums in, called him and said, I got some Foghat in, bring me your drive and I'll update it. He was like, I didn't want any, was just surprised you didn't have any. So now I have some and just weeks later it got brought up here! (Still can't name 3 songs by them, but listening to slow ride right now,,,, I don't feel I've missed anything :-) Funny thing about the USB's when set was first announced I thought for 700 bucks you got the disc AND a USB stick with them on it. Seemed reasonable to me, a 2 buck stick with the music already ripped for you. Wasn't till days later I realized they were two different items. Still seems like for 700 bucks they could include a stick or a dvd disc with all albums ripped for you. Also they could have taken out the fade out from one disc to the next. I'm not complaining, I think the box was a nice idea and really for 80 cd's priced fairly, let alone the cute box, book and scroll. I've also been further wondering if maybe I should grab a USB version just to sit on, with the way people are talking about cancelling, maybe this is an item that will be worth something someday. In any event maybe I'll get a stick of my own and rip all the cd's to it in wav format for use in my car. Might be convenient.

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!
