About This Guide

The Live Network (TLN) is a New Jersey-based live music organization dedicated to documenting, celebrating, and expanding the Grateful Dead universe — from the band's earliest San Francisco days through the continuing legacy carried by today's jam scene.

This guide compiles the essential online resources for every level of Dead explorer: official platforms, deep archives, setlist databases, streaming services, tribute acts, community forums, charities, films, books, mobile apps, podcasts, and the adjacent scene that carries the music forward.
