    "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.

    The Dylan Box buyers also received a few extra hours of rare Dylan from 65-66, that was only available via download for added value. (This is SONY afterall, giving something away for free.)

    No reason for limited releases
    All of us and many others will still buy every release. 'Limited' does not affect my purchasing decisions, but it has caused me to miss out on FW69 and the Eur 72 box because I moved too slow. The more they sell the more $ they make.Set a 1st run production number and then throw in bonus material to lure in us addicts. Then a few years later do another production run if demand warrants it but don't include the bonus material.

    With SpaceBro and Seth on This...Not the Speculators
    What kind of contract would say the music can never be released ever again in perpetuity? One of the most whack things I've ever heard. (Intellectual property rights attorneys chime in here.) Not only sounds anti-Dead, pro-tape sharing philosophy but also kinda crazy. Imagine [insert your favorite book here] was allowed one small print run only and could never be printed again. Don't care if it's Kerouac or the Bible, that would be plain crazy. Why not spread the music to as many interested Heads as possible, who are willing to pay? Gotta pass the flames on to the young folks too. Why not simply put the music in a different format and packaging, as SpaceBro hints at? Why not a downloadable version of the music w/o fancy packaging? (Think Europe '72 Music Only download.) My 30 Trips are kept in a nice Uggs shoebox in the closet b/c I didn't want to buy the trippy box itself off Ebay, just the music. (The wife loves her shoes and boots.) Heck, at some point even Rhino's rights to the music expire and it goes back to the Dead and in time public domain. If Rhino can make some money off it in the meantime, it's all good with me. I'd buy Winterland '77, too FWIW. Downloadable is fine. Creative attorneys can do anything. Spread the love, not the greed. Can't lock away great music forever. Hell, it should be in the LIbrary of Congress alongside Woody Guthrie's recordings. My two cents. Sorry for the rant. Had too much coffee again......

    "Space, you always point out that downloading music for free is bad juju, and is ripping off the band. Now you want the FW69 box so bad, that you think it would be ok for Rhino to make a few cosmetic changes and to break their promise to folks who originally bought it at the limited number that it was originally sold at? Shame on you Space bro. Maybe you are showing us your true colors? That it is ok for Rhino to screw the original buyers so that you get something you badly want? Bad karma baby." 1. stealing officially released music and encouraging others to do so through download bootlegs is a crime. 2. re-releasing this and people stealing/encouraging others to steal are two completely different non-related things. 3. How would re-releasing for those who would love and appreciate this music screw buyers who already own it? The way I see those who have a vested interest in not wanting FW '69 re-released are scalpers, those who are considering reselling their own copies for a hefty profit and freeloaders. Is there anybody here who would actually have the audacity sue the Dead and Rhino and screw the band out of more money if they were to re-release FW'69?

    FW 69
    well said, Seth!This is the same thought process that caused some collectors to destroy rare blues 78's back in the 60s...Canned Heat's Bob Hite was known to have destroyed a few, just so that nobody else could have them. I don't get it. I also own FW 69, it would make no difference to me if they released another few thousands.

    69 Box Set
    DL's email to me on this box set mentioned that the original listing for the release said that the music would NEVER be available again. Apparently, they have avoided that language in subsequent box set releases. Just look above at the listing for the 30 trips where it says the music will never be available on CD again but makes no mention of a digital release. David claims that because the 69 box set wording was so ironclad there doesn't appear to be a loophole for a re-release (and he says they have also considered this at length). Personally, I would buy that box set within the first 5 minutes that it was up if it were available but I don't think it's ever going to happen.

    FW69 music should be available to all Deadfans, like Europe '72
    This is cornerstone music.Just add "Non-numbered/Unlimited Edition" to the packaging and use a flimsy slipcase and a thinner booklet. That way the limited edition buyers (of which I am one) have something to gloat about and the folks who want this gemstone-music can get it. I really dislike the limited-edition model. It helps move product and that enables the release of lots of music. That part is wonderful. But it directly appeals to people who get their joy from seeing other people lose. It's the sort of marketing behavior that goes against the Woodstocknation ethic and it poisons the well and it attracts jerks to our subculture. I did feel burned when the E72 box got rereleased as a "music only" box and then got rereleased again as individual shows. But I do think my being burned in that way was a much smaller negative then was denying access to that music to all the Deadfans that wanted it and should have it. "Bad karma" comes from saying "I got mine and I don't want you to have what I have".

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!
