In celebration of their 60th anniversary, legendary band The Grateful Dead will be releasing a new limited edition 60-CD box set, titled Enjoying The Ride.

Enjoying The Ride will drop on May 30th exclusively via Dead.net. The record will feature more than 450 tracks and over 60 hours of music curated by the band’s archivist and legacy manager David Lemieux.

The record will feature previously unreleased live recordings from 20 venues spanning 25 years (1969-1994).

The collection features full shows from 17 notable venues, including Winterland Ballroom, Frost Amphitheatre, Madison Square Garden, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, and Hampton Coliseum, plus selections from multiple-night runs at the Fillmore West, Fillmore East, and Boston Music Hall.

“I truly believe that Enjoying The Ride captures both the spirit of following the Grateful Dead and the magic of their live performances at these storied venues,” said Rhino Records president Mark Pinkus. “The collection David has curated is even more meaningful to me because it includes the official release of my first-ever Dead show—July 13, 1984 at the Berkeley Greek Theatre—with its epic ‘Dark Star’ encore.”

“This show marked the start of a lifelong journey for me, and I’m willing to bet there are many shows in this fantastic set that will resonate with fans who also found community on the road,” he continued. “I am forever honored to work alongside David and the Grateful Dead to keep this long, strange trip alive.”
