XLIIs streams freely available Grateful Dead live recordings from the Internet Archive. Pick a tape case, choose a show, and press play. It's that simple.
Is this free?
Yes, completely free. No ads, no subscriptions, no in-app purchases.
Where does the music come from?
All recordings are streamed from archive.org, where the Grateful Dead community has shared audience recordings for decades with the band's blessing.
Can I pick up where I left off?
Yes. Your playback position is saved automatically so you can resume right where you stopped.
Why can't I hear anything?
Make sure your phone isn't on silent mode and the volume is up. If you're on cellular, check that you have a data connection — the app streams audio and needs internet access.
What are the four tape cases?
Cornell and Company (1977 tour), Wall of Sound (1974 tour), Young Bettys (early years), and New Animal (late era). Each case contains a curated set of shows. The cases rotate every three months.
