website full of dead shows

[VictoryGardener]

Hi I just wanted to let all you old deadheads know about an awesome website
HOPEFULLY some of ya'll haven't heard of it yet
anyway its called archive.org
and it is absolutely full of old dead shows
I've found all the ones I went to in the late 80's early 90's and just hit the goldmine when I found all the winterland shows

its full of goodies
just type in grateful dead in the search bar and begin the search for the best concert sugaree, candyman, or peggy-oooo!
so have fun with it

Can you download the shows? I got a couple but then things changed and I haven't been able to burn them anymore. Of course I'm an old,computer illiterate stoner,living in the backwoods and on dial-up.
There was NOTHING like a Grateful Dead show. I was never one to follow the tour but I never missed the bus when it stopped anywhere near me.

you can play them with the streaming option and it goes right to windows media, but that's as far as I can help you there

not only grateful dead music but literaly TONS of music, all of which was either recorded by a dedicated taper or released as a soundboard from the band....Some cool "newer" bands that are on archive:

Steve Kimock Band
Zero
Railroad Earth
New Monsoon
Little Feat
Robert Randolph
Derek Trucks
Yonder Mountain String Band

plus countless others....good hunting....

Oh also they have Audience recordings of GD avail for Download, all Soundboards though are stream only

If any of our users are into torrents.... here is a torrent with 14.5 gigs of Grateful Dead.

archive.org is dead for me... Ill try it later. sounds interestin
cool website, lots of

 

[VictoryGardener]

it seems like sometimes the best dead shows are only available with audience recordings... I have a love/ hate relationship with audience recordings.. I mean I love a strong audience presence in the recording, but not so much where I can barely hear the music

yeah, before they pulled the sbd's for download, i managed to fill in the (few) holes left in my collection! its nice to go on and listen to the soundboards at work and listen to all the railroad earth and steve kimock band i can handle!

 

[VictoryGardener]

I just wish they had some Steely Dan

I have heard that there still is a way to download sb's.I'll have to poke around a little to find it but with the vbr mp3 files you can change something when you stream so you can download.

I'll find it and post back...

There are also lots of sb's for download at gdlive.com

hey now! ... guess what?

LOT of those shows from the late '70's and early 80's that ended up on the net were recorded by "our" crew ... that is what we did ... tour with the GD and taped shows ...

it was "one long party from start to end, and i just might take that ride again" ... might as well, eh?

if you want to talk about the grateful dead ... i'm game because i've listened to them since 1973 & been to hundreds of shows ... it was a very sad ending to see jerry decline in the manner that he did

Did you know that if you goto archive.org and find a streaming gd sbd, then replace the "details" in the address bar with "download", you can get any sbd that was on the archive...the only files that work are the vbr though.

 

[shovelhead]

All right,I'd like to hear everybodys story about the first time you went to a Dead show,or at least as much as you can remember.........

 

[brother~buzz]

I was hitch hiking down the road in VT and these freaks picked me up and asked if I wanted to go see the Grateful Dead. That's all I remember

Here is a good link for some Jerry...The Garcia Discs
