GRATEFUL DEAD: 30 TRIPS AROUND THE SUN

The Dead's Largest Boxed Set Ever Commemorates 50th Anniversary With 30 Unreleased Concerts Spanning The Band's Entire Career

Available As Both An Ornate 80-Disc Boxed Set And As A USB Drive, Pre-Order Both Now Exclusively At Dead.net, Available On September 18

Four-CD Version With One Song From Each Concert Will Also Be Available

LOS ANGELES - The Grateful Dead played 2,318 live shows, more than any other band in the history of music. For 30 years, the band's live performances were constantly morphing and evolving, making every show a unique experience. Now, in the midst of their 50th anniversary, the Grateful Dead announce their 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 and are available now for pre-order exclusively at Dead.net for $699.98 each with a release date of September 18.

The 80-disc boxed set version comes in an ornate box that 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.

"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," says band archivist and producer David Lemieux. "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."

The first four shows included in 30 TRIPS have been announced today and include a 1967 show at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles and a 1987 show at New York's Madison Square Garden. The remaining shows will be revealed in the coming weeks on dead.net so stay tuned for updates. All 30 of the unreleased shows in 30 TRIPS will not be available for individual purchase on CD at any time in the future.

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 other limited edition version of 30 TRIPS AROUND THE SUN comes on a USB drive 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.

September 18 will also see the release of a four-CD version of the collection titled 30 TRIPS AROUND THE SUN: THE DEFINITIVE LIVE STORY 1965-1995. This set serves as an introductory sampler to the Dead's live canon, including 30 unreleased performances - one from each concert in the boxed set - along with the 1965 recording of "Caution." Also featured is an essay by Dead aficionado Jesse Jarnow dissecting every track in the collection, which will be available at all physical retail outlets for a list price of $44.98. A digital version will also be available.

Stay tuned to dead.net for more show reveals over the coming weeks.

I got the mega Europe 72 box and have not got 1/2 way through. I enjoy most of it.
How does anyone find the time to play 80 CDs?
This is one of those boxes that are for extreme collectors and die hard fans.
I'll get the 4CD box for sure

To many late period shows. IMO, they went downhill in a big way after the early 80's.

I'd probably pay $100-$150 for the set in 96/24.

Yeah, one show a year can do that. I was surprised that the digital where the same price as the physical, considering the packaging, etc. I did pull the trigger. !/2 tempted to scoop up a couple more for the post market, but...I've never pulled that trigger in the past.

That's what is giving me pause about this set, too.

That might be the one and only Dead show I attended. Did they play more than one night at MSG?

Yeah, I thought that went down too easy...but then again she is Fiancee not wife (and she likes the ring - as we say around here: "The power of the ring compels you". (Extra points for reference ID - should be easy).

Sounds like a mash-up of "Lord of the Rings" and "The Exorcist."
