Tap once to start authorized Dead.net audio or search the Internet Archive Live Music Archive. Native audio, queue controls, and the Media Session API support lock-screen play/pause/next on compatible installed PWAs and browsers.
Background playback reality
Once a listener taps play, native audio can continue with the screen locked on many mobile browsers and installed PWAs. The operating system may still stop playback for battery, memory, permissions, network loss, or user settings.
Lineage before volume
Archive searches stay inside the Live Music Archive. Each queue keeps the item page attached so taper, transfer, host, restriction, and metadata remain visible.

SONG MAP
Dark Star
Less a fixed song than a launch structure: theme, verse, shared risk, return—or refusal to return.
SONG MAPTerrapin Station
A suite of invitations, choices, storytellers, and unfinished doors whose imagery grew far beyond the studio recording.
SONG MAPEyes of the World
An open rhythmic field where uplift, jazz motion, and collective awareness keep changing proportion across eras.
SONG MAPScarlet Begonias → Fire on the Mountain
Two songs became a corridor. The transition itself is the subject: how a band agrees on a destination without announcing the route.
SONG MAPHelp on the Way → Slipknot! → Franklin's Tower
Precision, abstraction, and release arranged as one of the songbook's most durable three-part journeys.
SONG MAPShakedown Street
A studio-era funk turn whose title was adopted by the informal vendor village outside shows.
SONG MAPMorning Dew
A borrowed apocalyptic folk song transformed into one of the band's most powerful vehicles for dynamics and emotional scale.
SONG MAPRipple
A compact acoustic meditation whose questions about authorship, guidance, and shared song became community language.
