Archive.org's Live Music Archive makes available in loseless format the work of hundreds of tape-friendly musicians, including the Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra (8 shows), northwest favorites the Decemberists (18 shows), and, of course, Ween (71 shows! push those little daisies!). And let's not talk about crappy jam bands.

that should be "lossless" not "loseless"

i know, i lost around 100GB of stuff once in a HD crash.

i would also recommend mogwai and the butthole surfers archives.

Not sure why you needed to hate on the Dead and SCI.

if it were not for fans of jam bands the network of sites that share live lossless stuff would not exist. dats a fact.

i'm not a fan of most of it myself (apart from the Dead, and then only a casual fan), but credit where credit is due.

Just saw Antibalas on Friday night in Burlington. And they jam.

Just for good measure, the Decemberists suck. And hasn't this been posted before?

Wierd. No Phish at all. Do they take contributions? Because I'm sitting on a couple hundred complete shows that I'd be happy to contribute.

Huh, I see that a show I recorded is reported to have file errors through it. They weren't there when I made the torrent; so much for lossless recording!

Oh, and Robyn Hitchcock is there, too.

They may suck, but I don't think they suck. I saw them at ACL and they were ok. Anyway thank you kaibutsu for getting me laid cuz my girlfriend luvs them.

It was posted before when we were discussing the Dead asking that their SBDs be pulled from archive.org That was news. This is a double post, and one with an asshole tone to it.

What toffee said.

ghastlyfop: Are you in VT too?
