Grateful Dead: 30 Trips Around The Sun 80 CD Box Set

Brand new; still sealed in original shipping carton.

This is the ultimate Grateful Dead box set, consisting of 30 previously unreleased live concerts on 80 CDs, and was only available from dead.net.  Also included are a 7 inch vinyl single, a 288 page book and a numbered scroll/poster. This individually numbered set was limited to 6,500 pieces and sold out before the release date.


I carefully removed the UPS shipping label, but other than that, the item is exactly as I received it from dead.net: sealed and unopened.
The second picture shows the item you will receive; the other pictures are of my personal set and are for illustrative purposes only. The item will be securely packaged in a larger shipping carton with packing material to protect your purchase

from dead.net:

"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: Grateful Dead Vault Archivist

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.

From deaddisc.com:

An 80 CD release of 30 previously unreleased Grateful Dead shows, one show from each of the thirty years between 1966 and 1995. This is a limited edition release, 6,500 CD sets available only from the dead.net online store.

In addition to the 30 shows the CD set includes a gold colored 7" vinyl with a 1965 Caution and a 1995 Box Of Rain (7/9/95) and a 288 page book that includes an extensive essay by Nicholas Meriwether.
