    "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.

    Ultimately, I'm looking for the entirety, bonus disc included. However, I'd settle for just the 3-disc package. I have to say... I love reading your posts for the sheer enjoyment I find in your use of the English language. I'm confident that you're not really FROM eastern Kentucky. And if you are, you should really consider a future position as an English teacher!

    ....the second disc is platinum Dead. I don't have the bonus, but I'm not complaining. Awesome sounding '70 Dead is hard to come by, and I feel blessed to have it....don't hate me, but I paid $40 for it four years ago....hit the lottery early.

    "Are Tee Three Three"...
    ...though just a shorthanded release title, nonetheless reverberates with the same chronological gravitas as "Five Eight" or "Twelve Twenty-Nine"; and even among Heads, who begin musical discussions with a high degree of common understanding, it's difficult to effectively quantify just how remarkable an historical document this is. For me, it's the alchemical combination of (1) acoustic and electric comprising (2) conventional setlist components - played in uniformly extraordinary fashion - mixing fluidly with the truly exotic that (3) are performed in a unique crucible where emerging interest in folk and country melded with the tailings of acidic exploration, giving rise to shows that could organically - and plausibly (!) - accommodate wildly diverse fauna from the stark, lilting beauty of Long, Black Limousine and Silver Thread to a roaring, 60-minute, F5, electric tornado of DS>St.S>NFA>Lovelight. Anyway, have a listen with evening tea, if you've not already... https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxmCyo4jldzXzS_x-CpbY_s-ZSmjiRtbB KY: Are you looking for the 3cd set or are you determined to obtain the bonus disc? (which I would if I could, but never will at current rates, or anything like them) /peace, K

    For all those interested in Bowie.....check out Beck on youtube performing sound and vision in the round. Just a hair-raising version that let's you know what music is capable of.

    RT Vol. 3, Number 3 - Fillmore East 5/15/70
    It was the first 3 CD Road Trip and had a 4th bonus disk. It still isn't both shows complete though, it is missing the Candyman from the late show. Before that the Road Trips were 2 CD releases and the bonus disk made 3.

    I was just responding when I read the fine response by mhammond. I would add, because it's really flipping good and the one that deep down inside you want the most. It has my absolute favorite acoustic GD I have in my collection (other than studio). No rotten tomato's from the Reckoning lovers out there.. but this one really speaks to me. Voice from On High and Cold Jordan sound sooooo gooood. I'm fairly sure this is the version of Cold Jordan that appears on Festival Express.

    RT Vol. 3, Number 3 - Fillmore East 5/15/70
    Okay... forgive me for asking this, but it's eating me alive. I was out of the GD for a few years, and missed several of the last Dick's Picks and all of the Road Trips Series when they were initially released. I'm now piecing my collection of what I missed together, slowly but surely, and I've made quite a dent. Can someone tell me.... Why in bloody hell is the RT Vol, #3 so outrageously priced on the secondary market when compared to other Road Trips releases?? I'm assuming it still had the same number of units produced, so there wouldn't be a scarcity issue. And I do realize it's a show from the Fillmore East in 1970, so I've already assumed that it's sonic gold. But why such an extreme difference in price?? I'm hoping that there's a logical explanation for this of which I'm completely unaware.

    A Bowie Show
    I can imagine the one show I saw was on the serious Moonlight tour. It was end of May, 1983, at the Glen Helen Regional Park in San Bernadino, CA, for one of the four days of The Us Festival. The day Bowie performed included sets by Berlin, Quarterflash, Missing Persons, Joe Walsh, The Pretenders, Stevie Nicks and U2. I'd like to expand on more details, but it was over 32 years ago and I wasn't but four years out of high school. We are both great fans, in this household, and are taking this similar to how I handled John Lennon being shot in NYC. Had just downloaded Blackstar the night before.

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!
