The Grateful Dead are ready to celebrate their 60th anniversary with Enjoying The Ride, a sweeping 60-CD box set, coming May 30, 2025. It will be available exclusively from Dead.net and limited to 6,000 individually numbered copies.
Spanning 25 years of legendary live performances, the collection spotlights defining shows from 1969 to 1994 at 20 venues that consistently inspired the band to new heights—Winterland, Frost Amphitheatre, Madison Square Garden, and Hampton Coliseum, among them. It is a known fact that the Grateful Dead never played the same show twice.
With the exception of a few tracks from earlier releases, virtually all of the music on Enjoying The Ride is previously unreleased, spanning more than 450 tracks and over 60 hours of music. Of the 20 shows in the collection, 17 are presented in full, with some featuring additional material from the same venue. The remaining three—Fillmore West, Fillmore East, and Boston Music Hall—are curated from multiple performances at each venue, capturing key moments on those legendary stages.
For those fans for who this might be a bit too much (or too much money to part with) a far more concise itinerary, a significantly abridged version, The Music Never Stopped, takes a shorter journey through the music that shaped the Grateful Dead’s live legacy. It also arrives on May 30, via Rhino, on 3-CDs [pre-order in the U.S. here and in the U.K. here] or 6-LPs [in the U.S. here and U.K. here].
