Glad I took all the shows I got from there...

An Announcement from Phil Lesh:
It was brought to my attention that all of the Grateful Dead shows were taken down from Archive.org right before Thanksgiving. I was not part of
this decision making process and was not notified that the shows were to be pulled. I do feel that the music is the Grateful Dead's legacy and I
hope that one way or another all of it is available for those who want it . I have enjoyed using Archive.org and found it invaluable during the
writing of my book. I found myself being pulled back in time listening to old Grateful Dead shows while giggling with glee or feeling that ache in my heart listening to Jerry's poetic guitar and sweet voice.
We are musicians not businessmen and have made good and bad decisions on our journey. We do love and care about our community as you helped us make the music. We could not have made this kind of music without you as you allowed us to play "without a net". Your love, trust and patience made it possible for us to try again the next show when we couldn't get that magic carpet off the ground. Your concerns have been heard and I am sure are being respectfully addressed.

Ya I started getting e-mails on this stuff today.
The philzone is all over of this also. www.philzone.com I really am not the most technical guy to say the least. I get most of my stuff from people that do it for me.

Livearchive.org is a great great resource. Before this move, there were almost 3,000 different shows housed on their database. Multiple versions (including sbd's and aud's) of practically every show (I think the only ones not there were the show's that the dead released themselves as albums).
I heard that their (apparently bobby's since its not phil's as per above)main gripe was that it was all just there for the taking on their servers. They apparently said its not like people trading shows.
Either way it sucks. It was a great resource, I should have taken more advantage of it by downloading more shows. I did pick a few fun ones and one acoustic set in shn format which sounds as good as reckoning of the same set of shows.

We should set some trading up! I don't have too many shows on mp3 ..... probably 50 or less, but this may be a good idea. I just threw out my cassette bootlegs a few years ago.

Is this really a viable option or is it just another Kazaa (illegal, bug-filled, etc)??? Do they have lots of quality recordings? Mostly, is it legal or not?

Have not found one virus yet..TOTALLY not Kazza....I'd say its as "legal" as any other "free" download program, but I can say its been virus free so far..I find that you have to be "friends" with people in order to share, but there are some, like myself, that just share with anyone.

Looks like we'll be able to download audience recordings but not the soundboards. Better but still somewhat of a bummer.
Grateful Dead to Allow Free Web Downloads By DAN GOODIN, Associated Press Writer
SAN FRANCISCO - What a short, strange trip it was. After the Grateful Dead angered some of its biggest fans by asking a nonprofit Web site to halt the free downloading of its concert recordings, the psychedelic jam band changed its mind Wednesday.
Internet Archive, a site that catalogues content on Web sites, reposted recordings of Grateful Dead concerts for download after the surviving members of the band decided to make them available again.
Band spokesman Dennis McNally said the group was swayed by the backlash from fans, who for decades have freely taped and traded the band's live performances.
"The Grateful Dead remains as it always has — in favor of tape trading," McNally said.
He said the band consented to making audience recordings available for download again, although live recordings made directly from concert soundboards, which are the legal property of the Grateful Dead, should only be made available for listening from now on.
The soundboard recordings are "very much part of their legacy, and their rights need to be protected," McNally said.
Representatives for the band earlier this month had directed the Internet Archive to stop making recordings of the group's concerts available for download. But fans quickly initiated an online petition that argued the band shouldn't change the rules midway through the game.
"The internet archive has been a resource that is important to all of us," states the petition, which also threatened a boycott of Grateful Dead recordings and merchandise. "Between the music, and interviews in the archive we are able to experience the Grateful Dead fully."

i got mega freaked when i heard the news about this whole ordeal about the shows online. luckily i tuned into the happenings today when everything got all sorted out and back to normal, or else that would have been one bummer of a Thanksgiving!
Good to hear all is well again though. Archive.org is one of my favorite places on the web for shows.
speaking of shows... what's everyone's choice GD show to groove to?
one of mine has to be 3/1/69 at the Fillmore.
btw: again, it's so cool to see other Dead fans on AZ!!
peace!

I don't think its really all sorted out. You still can't access any of the crispy SBD's. That's really all I can listen to.
