Show you how you can get more free live Grateful Dead music than you could listen to in a lifetime.

Generally speaking, this is a GD fan site which will cover all aspects of the band with a particular focus on their live music. They share freely out of pure love for the music itself and this is my attempt to give something back. I've benefited greatly from the generosity of a lot of people. However, thanks to the miracle of the internet and file sharing technology like bittorrent, I've spent the last few years amassing an enormous collection of music and video footage. I never once thought that I would really be able to hear virtually every GD concert ever recorded. With the dawn of the digital era all that has changed. I wanted very badly to hear all those shows that I knew were out there but had no hopes of ever finding them. Needless to say, favorite tapes became treasures that were often played until worn out.

Then sometimes wait weeks for them to arrive, wondering the whole time if they would show up at all.

If they weren't close friends who lived nearby, you had to mail them blank tapes with return postage.

If you didn't have anything to trade, this could sometimes be difficult.

Then you had to convince them to make copies for you.

First, you had to know people who had them.

But it wasn't easy to find high quality tapes back then.

Their music affected me in a way no other band ever has and I couldn't get enough. When I was younger and I first discovered the band's music I used to dream of having copies of every show ever recorded.

I've been listening to the Dead for nearly as long as I can remember.
