Maker & Collector GuideThe tapers' section
A culture of permission, gear craft, lineage notes, trading, preservation, and listening that made the live archive possible.
The Grateful Dead's relationship with taping turned audience documentation into a parallel public memory system. A good recording page therefore needs more than a play button: it needs the date, venue, source, taper or transfer credit when available, lineage, and a path back to the host archive.
Deadhead Market does not copy restricted files into its own storage. It links or embeds authorized public players and keeps the source visible.
