Grateful Dead releases absolutely massive 60-disc boxed set

Want to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Grateful Dead in a really, really big way?

Well, Dead.net and Rhino Records have got you covered and plan to release a massive 60-CD — yes, you read that right, 60 CD — boxed set of Grateful Dead music dubbed “Enjoying the Ride.”

The set spans 25 years of live shows, running from 1969 to 1994 at 20 different concert venues — including Bay Area Grateful Dead hotspots like the old Winterland in San Francisco and Frost Amphitheater at Stanford University.

This Grateful Dead set includes more than 450 tracks, representing 60-plus hours of music — virtually all of it unreleased.

There is also a more concise version of this particular long, strange Grateful Dead trip — dubbed “The Music Never Stopped” — which features at least one song from every venue in the deluxe set. It’s available in 3-CD, 6-LP and digital formats.

The boxed set are available May 30 via Dead.net.
