    "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.

    And what's the deal with that
    And what's the deal with that 50th anniversary logo t-shirt that sold out even before the box set? Come on, guys, it's not a limited edition, high-resolution t-shirt, is it? ;-)

    Perhaps the biggest pop/rock
    Perhaps the biggest pop/rock box set, but in classical music, there are several that approach 200 discs, and 100-disc sets are not that uncommon. (There are a few dozen of them.)

    more favoritism from Dave
    Did anyone notice that there are more shows in this box from the second half of the year than the first half? Once again it shows just how biased Dave is when he is selecting release material. Come on Dave, all months should be considered.After much consideration I made the decision to order. I wasn't going to due to the cost but I knew I would regret this once it sold out. Plus these sets never depreciate like buying a new car.

    Nice tidbit from over at SteveHoffman from Jamie Howarth...
    Excitement Building!!! Conversation about tape quality with Jamie Howarth over on the 30 Trips discussion on Steve Hoffman TV: Page 14: JH: "Yup. Definitely. All the analog 1/4" tape was transferred and processed by us and Airshow on the Plangent Processes system. The cassettes were not, but that's a handful. Later were DAT so no help there. The material sounds amazing. Worth the investment." JH: "Forgot to mention the 1967 8 track, which is a killer..." Page 16: superstar19: "For any of the digitally recorded/DAT stuff from the 80s/90s, probably not any better quality. These affected shows will be upsampled/converted to 24/96, I guess?" JH: "Well that's not quite right. A fair amount of post-production was done on the DATs and that work will succeed better at 96/24." ~ Not sure if I listen chronologically, jump to the #1's of a particular year, the two shows I went to, the possibilities are endless... Can't wait to hear more on the seaside chats - wouldn't it be cool if these chats were from other undisclosed locations like "inside the vault", at "Terrapin Crossroads", at "TRS", at the "rehearsal location", at "Levi Stadium"???

    Wow, This Is Weird!!!
    I can't believe this: 1) There's a new release and some folks find it to be too expensive 2) There are people openly trolling for folks to split the cost with so they can pirate copies on the Dead's official site. 3) Someone chimes in out of the blue to say, "Hey they're picking on me." 4) There is disappointment with some of the show choices. 5) There are massive ordering snafus with an online sales only web site that can't handle a few thousand orders. It's just too weird. It must be.................a Thursday. Because this doesn't happen more than once a week. lol Buy it or don't. It's a free country. It's one of billions of products out there that you can choose to pay your money for, or move along.

    As a gesture of good faith I think everyone that bought a box and had trouble with the processing, i.e. multiple charges should get a free GD t-shirt thrown in to boot! You can interpret 'GD' however you want. Eternally Grateful.

    The website issues
    Hi there long time lurker, finally jumping in the pool. While I'm not sure, it seems that Dead.net is just another band website that has been outsourced to Musictoday, who are the worst when it comes to preorders, fulfillment and most other services a proper online store has. They seem to be behind, the Zappa.com site and the Authentic Hendrix which are okay if they have what you want in stock, but often sell items that are long out of print and stock, but never close the order. The clue is customer service in VA, the home of Musictoday and their supervisors. That being said I look forward to getting the new set in Sept. Thanks Dave and TPTB for putting together another great set to add to my collection.

    The Price is Right
    The Process has been awful.. Once the dust settles and the 3rd party Customer Service folks get in contact with the folks at Rhino to clear things up and send out compensation for this blunder, I will be satisfied. Damage control by cancelling screen shot orders for all folks regardless for those individuals with a recorded conversation speaking to a person hired to work for the Customer Service ensuring you have Order A and Order B must not have importance. Leads me to believe the folks at CS, for one, have no influence. And two, whatever they say is not to be trusted.

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!
