About
There are thousands of Grateful Dead soundboard recordings on the Internet Archive. That's incredible — and a little overwhelming.
XLIIs organizes them the way people used to organize tapes — in cases. Four at a time, each focused on a different era, with write-ups that give you historical context for every show. The cases rotate every three months, so there's always a reason to dig into a period you might have overlooked.
No account. No ads. Just pick a case and press play.
