    "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.

    unkle sam, pony up, rhino....
    ...work for rhino? I don't think so, they probably want to drug test me and that ain't happenin'! :-) I tried to get a job at a factory that made bongs and they drugged tested,,,,can you believe that shit :-) I always laugh when I go to most stores and they say they drug test all employees. Then you try and get help from "straight" employees and they're useless! I always think, hire some pot smokers, they would at least give a shit!

    Can't believe how good the '94 is/was
    Listening chronologically (after I had to get my box replaced, another story) and started back at the beginning. From memory I king of remembered Spring '93 as the last consistently good tour. Though there were certainly good moments in '94 and '95 (Unbroken Chain, anyone?). But I'm really enjoying the '94 show. Sounds better than I remember (though I wasn't at this one, personally). Just the '94 sound in general.

    1975 Trip: Matt Kelly
    As Born Cross Eyed said, that is indeed Matt Kelly. In addition to being a founding member of Kingfish, Matt was also a frequent guest player with NRPS. He also plays on a track on Wake of the Flood, and several on Shakedown Street. He also plays on the Closing of Winterland DVD/CD. He was also in Bobby and the Midnites, and Ratdog until 1998. There are a number of mistakes in the liner notes, particularly on the early discs. '66: Lists New Minglewood as a GD song when it is a cover. '69: Lists the Eleven Jam as track #3 on Disc 2 when it is clearly a full Eleven with lyrics that starts several minutes before the end of track #2 St. Stephen, which isn't nearly 9:07 in length as s result. '75: Omits Kelly as playing on the release. And I'm pretty certain that there is one Trip where they go into a full Feedback but it isn't listed (though I'm relying on memory here). Not huge mistakes certainly, but there are there. After getting my Box back, I'm finally nearing the end, and I'm surprised at how good the '94 sounds. Pleasant surprise. Really nice first set.

    LP pricing
    I think it's a little of a bunch of things, first and foremost, what the market will bear. New cd's and dvd's don't cost anywhere near cost to make versus price you pay. Most products seem to be price that way today. Are Nike sneakers worth the money people seem to pay? Brings up the point of off shore production and cost of labor. Take sneakers, you make them in some slave country, because labor is so high in America, then why when you make them for virtually no labor cost are they 200 bucks? Because the market will bear it. (and for some things people are stupid enough to pay,,, think rolex!) Back to LP's, I would think limited runs cost more than massive runs. Back in the day when albums were the only thing, I bet they knocked out 100,000 copies at once. Think about when an album goes gold or platinum, that's a few more copies than Dead 67. On the limited front, MOST people don't want vinyl, period. Sure it's having a small comeback, but not for most people. Hell most people don't even want albums I bet, they buy just the songs they want from iTunes. Most people don't even have a collection of cd's. Sure the people on this forum are the exception, but we're a small group. Think about people you know and how many albums they have. It always seems to me when I'm in peoples homes, they have a handful only, maybe 20-30? I always believe most people stop buying after high school or college since their collection seems focused on those years. Oh and a lot of Christmas albums! A friend down the street buys used cd's and after she listen to them a dozen times or so, she gives them to me! Says she's listen to them enough! On the flip side movie ownership has skyrocketed, people buy a lot of movies! Before vhs, nobody owned movies (home 8mm don't count:-), 10,000 watts of lights and people waving at the camera :-). Finally on the greed front, maybe a little, maybe just a little more of knowing what their shit is worth and cashing in before they buy the farm and I would never deny "the boys" that, they've earned it. As I've said before you can always get copies of the music from someone, but if you want the original store bought stuff, then pony up or shut the fuck up. Boy that came out harsh :-),,, probably from seeing Deadpool last night! (if you haven't seen, do so, funny as all hell)

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!
