Much love for the LMA

If you are a fan of live music and have not familiarized yourself with the live music archive you need to do so. As an admitted Deadhead the site is a treasure trove. You can stream any of their almost 3000 Dead shows on your computer and download a great number of them in lossless file formats (SHN, FLAC). The aren't your ticket? There are hundreds of bands and thousands of shows on the archive. Most tend to be in the "jam band" community (however widely applied that term is), such as String Cheese Incident, Derek Trucks Band, Yonder Mountain String Band, Phil Lesh and Friends, etc. It's a great way to check out new acts before you purchase tickets and records.
