Here are some places where you can find live shows to get you started building a collection: Grateful Dead Live Internet Archive etree For bittorrent click here. Further Network -lossy and lossless Digital Boots Dave Matthews Band TuneTree Feel free to add more. (Note: These links are centered around direct downloads, not trading)
When I search for shows on Archive.org or what have you, I like to search for "Source: SBD" or "Soundboard". Often, this will take you straight to the best sounding soundboard and matrix recordings.
I love podcasts for kick ass music. Here are a few of my favs... Umphrey's McGee http://www.umphreys.com/music/podcasts.php?linkId=103 STS9 http://sts9.libsyn.com/ Chillout groove http://www.loungecast.net/1podcast.htm These are excellent! Trip Hop and Progressive Hip Hop http://www.podcastdirectory.com/podcasts/index.php?iid=7768 Experimental and psychedelic techno http://www.residentadvisor.net/podcast.aspx There are a whole lot of others out there too, every kind of music. Just search the internet! Peace, Mellow
i simply go to any search engine (ww.aj.com works for me....Ask Jeeves is a badass) and type in ('band name' torrent) and see what i can find. You have to have all the neccessary tools to open up all the files and stuff ofcourse but its worth it if you arent dl torrents yet. You are missin out. There are a number of diff torrent sites. Sometimes you can find some really obscure stuff like Live Ozric Tentacles, and jam sessions with Marco Benevento/Reed Mathis/Mike Dillon, or the Dead Kenny G's (which is really hard stuff to find), Critters Buggin live, definitely some cool stuff
