Let the Grateful Dead Live Music Archive Stand
Sign Now
Grateful Dead music inspires in its fans an extraordinary passion, hence this news of pulling the archive is breaking the heart of thousands of people today. We see the Grateful Dead historically as a representation of something pure and good. In order to love something so much, you have to trust it. Despite the stereotypes and social mockery, we have proudly remained fans of the Grateful Dead for all these years, defending it and ourselves because we knew in our heart that this music we are following is good, and pure. Some say we have no right to protest this mid-game changing of the rules. But what those people are not accounting for is the MILLIONS of hours that Deadheads have collectively spent in combining, uploading, remastering, patching flawed recordings.....voluntarily, and out of love, and trusting that it would be shared freely. In our opinion, at this point to stop the free sharing of these recordings is so sad, and so wrong. Jerry is gone, and he has no say, and we all know what he would have said. This is unfair to us. So much work has gone into building the archive. Please let it stand.

BOYCOTT!!!!! The rule of thumb in these situations is: for every one of us signing this petition, there are 100 more who agree. I don't have to spend a dime ever on the GD, and won't until the boards are restored for download.

please make the soundboards available again - they rejuvenated my interest, and I spent money on official merchandise after rediscovering the band via archive.org

Just another dishearten fan that would love to see the SBDs available as before. For some reason I expect cooler heads will prevail and restore these golden SBD gems.

This is only because mickey does nothing, billy does nothing, and cant make any money now. Phil is touring and working hard. He is making $$$. The others are not and want to ride on what they have done before. I am not sure what bobs angle on it is other

To The Dead : Forgiveness and redemption are Grateful Dead values. You hurt more than you realize, your own good names above all, by this utterly asinine and so-obviously-disingenuous and transparently greedy stumble. We all know you are better than this.

Great move, Ungrateful Dead. First of all, Mickey should have never been let back in the band after he left in 71. That's why he doesn't want you to hear soundboards. Bill by himself is 10 times the drummer compared to both of them together. Mickey plays
