If you like live music and have an iPhone, I've got some great news for you. Yesterday the Live Music Archive iPhone App went live in the App Store on iTunes.
For just $1.99 you'll get access to over 70,000 live shows by more than 2,800 bands including Bela Fleck, Bisco, DBT, DTB, & DSO, Further, G. Love, McLovins, MMJ, North Mississippi Allstars, Phil & Friends, Robert Randolph, Soulive, STS9, SCI, TLG, and Umphrey's McGee.
And perhaps best of all, you'll have over 6,700 Grateful Dead shows (and counting) at your fingertips wherever you go!
Like most apps this one has a few shortcomings — it'd be nice to group shows by year and sort by rating or date added, and of course you can't use other apps while you're listening — but for less than $2 it's kinda hard to complain.
Download the Live Music Archive iPhone App on iTunes now.

With new music apps appearing in the App Store almost daily, 2009 was a great year to own an iPhone for music lovers and creators alike. And though none of this year's offerings is the ultimate celestial jukebox (we're waiting Spotify and MOG), there were still plenty of great iPhone music apps to get excited about.
With that, here's Jamtopia's list of the Best iPhone Music Apps of 2009 — including five great apps for listening to music on your iPhone and another five for creating your own.

According to eloquent yet outspoken music industry pundit Bob Lefsetz, “ownership is for pussies.”
No major argument here. That's why all but one of these great iPhone music apps are all about streaming from the cloud.
