    4 Trips is what I'm calling this.
    The standout tracks to me are the Franklin's Tower from '75 with incredible A CAPPELLA ending. The Viola Lee Blues is smokin! The High Time is fantastic with Branford chiming in. The Morning Dew is spirited and Is one of my all time favorite tunes so always enjoy hearing a new one. If I could have any of the complete shows it would be Lindley Meadows for sure and the September 72. Great month from the greatest year!

    NFA is listed wrong on this page
    just recvd this primo volume today, oops, yesterday...took dead.net 5 days to ship so not too bad...not fade away actually leads off disc 4 rather than ends disc 3...minor stuff...hey, i don't have a 7k$ sound system so disc 1 sounds fine to me, given these were recorded under challenging conditions...try to appreciate the talent & musicality rather than the noise floor & im (intermodulation distortion)...

    ramble?
    I've had that Ramble on Rose in the mix lately. Pretty hot 1990 performance. Everyone sounds great.

    Yowsa, has anyone listened to
    Yowsa, has anyone listened to this with headphones? Some of the early tracks sound awful. I would guess that the worse your sound system, they more you will like some of these early tracks.

    4 CD Set / 30 Trips Sun
    I really do not like the way TPTB put the cds into an oversize booklet form...Where do I put an oversize packet into my cd shelving ??? I thought TPTB would have fixed this so it would fit on cd shelf. Also I do not like the cds overlapping each other. Makes it stupid to take ALL of the cds out to get the one you want!!! Sorry for rambling on, I know the music is still the same but when are TPTB going to listen to our dead head buying public??? Thanx

    The 4 CD Condensed 30 Trips Around The Sun.
    My preference has always been to listen to stuff that is released by the gnomes at dead.net. I cannot say that Tracks 1 & 2 of Disc 1 don't sound familiar! I thought that NONE of these tracks has been released before officially? Is there any qualification to that statement? But a good package all the same. As each track progresses, you can see the fading of youth, and craft & skill taking over a little at the cost of explosive spontaneity, in a full concert like Dick's Picks Vol 36 or Road Trips Vol 3. No 2. The last track is a mournful rendition by Garcia of Visions Of Johanna. I think I will give this package 60%. A. Ashokan 18.09.2015 1550 aashokan@gmail.com

Saw this for sale for CDN $34.98 at an HMV music store in Regina, Saskatchewan today which at today's exchange rate is around US $26.29. Curious pricing ... again. Of course I bought this off dead.net when it was first offered and paid over CDN $55 all in with exchange and shipping. Who knew it would show up on a rack in Regina's HMV?! Lol! No regrets though. Finally through all 4 discs - discs 1 & 2 are killer and I'm sure the Box shows are equally great! With no Box in my future, I can only wonder about the rest of the shows' contributions to discs 3 & 4. Not my favorite song selections but I appreciate the variety and embrace the fact that the 'greatest hits' isn't necessarily the perceived greatest hits. A Grateful weekend to all. Still waiting for DaP16. Sigh.

The sensible voice in me is saying I should have just satisfied myself with this rather than splurging $750 with shipping when I really can't afford it. Unfortunately good sense left me a long time ago, curiously around the time I got into the Dead.

Really enjoying this 4 CD collection! Have been listening to it quite a lot! I bought a few 30 Trips shows from vendors, but honestly would have been overwhelmed by the full Box or Bolt! Great job on this! Have been lovin' it for awhile and plan to continue listening through the Holidays! Thanks for helping make 2015 a great year for the Dead 50th legacy! Peace!

I might be interested by a 30 trips boxset; but I am already scared by the price to reach Europe. I don't desperate about a day where digital Downloads will be available individually, let us say for the 55 th birthday? I might be glad to dload 90,91,94,67,84 or 75...All the rest is already very documented with the Dick, Road and Dave's picks series.

fortunately you didn't loose a good sense of humour, did you?It is alike the freak brothers: it is better to get more dead music than money...
