Grateful Dead Live Archive
Only for iPhone
Free
iPhone
Every Dead show. One app.
We built Deadsound because finding the best tapes on should be easy. Now you can search 17,000+ Grateful Dead recordings by date, venue, song, or source, and start listening in seconds.
FIND ANYTHING
Search by setlist to find every "Dark Star," or every show where they played "Dark Star" plus "Estimated" and also "Blow Away." Filter by Charlie Miller transfers or Betty Boards, or by AUD/SBD/Matrix. Narrow by year, city, or venue.
LISTEN ANYWHERE
Intelligent caching means your music keeps playing even when your signal doesn't. Full background playback with lock screen controls, all with gapless audio.
BUILD YOUR LIBRARY
Favorite the shows that matter. Track what you've heard. Pick up where you left off.
DISCOVER DAILY
See what happened today in Dead history. A new discovery every day.
Completely free. No ads. No subscription. The music belongs to everyone.
Streams from Archive.org. Not affiliated with the Grateful Dead.
A unified search, a rebuilt Vault, and a typographic refresh.
SEARCH EVERYTHING FROM ONE PLACE
Type a show date, song title, venue, year, or person's name — results appear instantly with fuzzy matching across the entire archive. Pin results as filter chips to build complex queries, then jump straight to matching shows.
VAULT, REORGANIZED
Six focused tabs — Shows, Songs, Years, People, Places, Tapes — each with its own search, sort, and filters. No more hunting; just walk into the right room.
NATIVE iOS 26 CONTROLS
Segmented pickers, toggles, and form elements use native SwiftUI on iOS 26. Settings and profile sheets dismiss with a drag.
