Where to listen to Grateful Dead shows online
Deadhead High helps you choose a show. When you are ready to listen, the best legal listening sources are Archive, Relisten, and official releases.
Internet Archive
The Internet Archive hosts a huge Live Music Archive collection with many Grateful Dead recordings and metadata. Deadhead High links out to Archive items when a show has a listening source.
Relisten
Relisten gives fans a clean way to browse and play many Archive-hosted recordings by date. It is often the fastest way to jump from a show recommendation into listening.
Official releases
Official releases, box sets, and subscription services can offer polished mastering and curated packages. Deadhead High is aimed at discovery, then sends you to the source that makes sense.
