Hey! I created this website and have been maintaining it along with my friend Alec for the last decade. Fun seeing it pop up here on HN. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for your work! I maintain the phish.in API and caught a show with Alec over ten years ago. Good times!

Been enjoying the music on your website for the last hour, very grateful for your work! :)

Why those bands, and not others? What do they have in common?

All of these bands have agreed to allow people to tape and distribute their concerts for free. This is most popular in the jam band community, but you’ll find a plethora of other bands that allow it as well.

I see! May I suggest adding this awesome japanese band from the 60's? Les Rallizes Dénudés - not sure about the legal status, but there's a lot of live material and afaik the band incentivized bootlegs, perhaps inspired by the Dead!

thank you SO MUCH fam! relisten is such a great repository and i have shared it plenty. thank you too block_dagger for phish.in, much the same.. much love!

I’ve been using Relisten every day lately. Thank you so much!

Duuuude yes! I adore your app. Do you have a tip jar or something?

Nope, we don't take donations. If you want to contribute back, we recommend donating to Archive.org as they do the bulk legwork that makes this all possible and are a valiant internet library worthy of the support. And of course, we always accept pull requests!

On it!

Relisten is the best, thank you!

Could you please consider adding a volume control button on the website?

Is this basically a listing of archive.org's live music archive (LMA)?
