Live Music Archive iPhone App Now on iTunes

Posted Jan 28, 2010 at 11:41 pm CT by Todd Levy

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.

[$1.99 | iTunes | official site]

Free ROTHBURY Concert Videos: Limited Time Only

Posted Dec 07, 2008 at 1:40 am CT by Todd Levy

Great news. The kind folks from the ROTHBURY Festival are offering free concert videos at the ROTHBURY video archive on iClips. The archive features 13 concert videos including Tea Leaf Green, Disco Biscuits, STS9, and Primus

Video Archive »

My only gripe is that it's a little cumbersome to have to select each song individually, and the video was incredibly choppy on my connection, but it's hard to complain when the price is so right. If nothing else you're getting a free soundboard stream from each band.

The site says the videos will be up for a limited time only so get your fix while the gettin's good.

The Best Video of Ben Chambers Ever

Harvest Time

I decided to keep the TLG flowing and figure since I'm seeing Reed for the first time tonight I'd reminisce by sharing a great Ben Chambers moment.

The whole band is great on this Harvest Time, but the real magic starts about 3 minutes in. Ben realizes he's on camera, gives a little smirk, and then lays down some face-melting dance moves like the neck-breaker, the waist-waster, and rubber-legs. It's a quintessential Milkey moment.

This video would be even better if there weren't some Focker pumping his fists in front of the camera the whole tune :^)

Enjoy the video. I'm off to the Park West! Don't miss the webcast if you can't make the show. And if you've got a favorite Ben Cambers moment please share it below.

Here's a nice Precious Stone from Tea Leaf Green who I'm psyched to say I'm seeing tonight for the first time in quite a while.

Holy shit........I bet Josh had a cigarette and a nap after this one!

For some reason I'd missed this moist-maker on YouTube before so thanks to Bexy for mentioning it on the Tea Leaf Green forum.

Thanks also to billyorbit for sharing the video.

Posted Feb 14, 2008 at 1:46 am CT by Todd Levy

Organizers of the inaugural ROTHBURY Music Festival at the Double JJ Ranch in Rothbury, Michigan announced their lineup yesterday and it's quite impressive in both diversity and stature.

Among the over 70 bands confirmed to appear on 8 stages are Widespread Panic, Dave Matthews Band, Phil Lesh and Friends, John Mayer, 311, Modest Mouse, Primus, Snoop Dogg, Michael Franti and Spearhead, Thievery Corporation, STS9 and many more.

The events “purpose,” in case you were curious, is to “harness the unique energy of the live music community into a durable social movement” addressing climate change and clean energy alternatives. To that end, the festival will also include a Think Tank and Energy Fair.

The ROTHBURY Think Tank, curated by Stanford climatologist Dr. Stephen H. Schneider, will feature sessions and roundtables between leading scientists, scholars, writers, progressive political and corporate leaders, youth leaders, and entertainers.

ROTHBURY’s Energy Fair will let attendees get their hands on with cutting edge, sustainable technology and products.

Putting their money where there mouth is, organizers are taking steps to make ROTHBURY a near zero-waste concert through a variety of initiatives including replacing disposables with 100% compostables, recycling and composting, choosing clean energy, carbon-offsetting, and Green Ticket options.

Tickets for ROTHBURY go on sale February 27th and start at around $250 for a weekend pass.
