Archive.Org

If you have never been out to Archive.Org you are really missing out. Besides the thousands of Grateful Dead shows that you can download there are many other bands worth listening to. I was out there last nite and discovered that people have been posting live Ryan Adams shows out on the site. As of now there are 230 shows available for download and the best part, they are all FREE. I downloaded 3 shows from the last tour with the Cardinals and the quality is amazing. Fans are able to plug into the board and record away. The only stipulation is that you cannot sell the recordings to make a profit which is fine since making money off of bootlegs is just plain shady.
One of the things I love about the shows besides the quality is the variation in setlists. There are the handful of songs played each nite but the order is completely different and the extras are great. Ryan dips into his back catalog and pulls out some really cool songs. So check out Archive.Org for some great bootlegs from not only Ryan Adams but the other bands who allow their fans to record and share.
