If u like the grateful dead this an essential tool to access every note played in every show from '65 thru every iteration since jerry died including my current fab 'dead & co."!!.... I now prefer Matrix over charlie miller board... 'the joy is in the journey'!!

Jai Nitai Gauranga says: it's the dead, practically every recorded version of every show... If only it was live and I could step outside and pickup some tasty vegetarian meals from the Krishnas.

Seriously awesome app. Possibley one of the best apps in the whole app store. It just needs a way to share songs from a show. Say I want to post 4-8-71 Johny b good from Boston music Hall to my Facebook would be cool.

This is one of the best apps I have ever put on my phone. There isn't a show I couldn't find. Great recordings and sound. I am super stoked. Thank you very, very much from the bottom of my heart for those who develop and maintain this app.

Appsolutely the best for grateful dead music and dead related music. I was able to listen to a lot of last summer's Dead and Company shows the next day with this app. I now keep my old phone set up with this app and use it as an mp3 player using a pair of wireless speakers.

I love this app! I've been using it every day, and just wish I'd found it sooner

I would love to give this a higher review because it has made finding shows so much easier but, and it's a big but, the app regularly stops playing every 10 to 15 minutes and then I have to pick another song, go back to the original and try to guess where I was. Also player won't play next track if my phone screen is off. Maybe there's tricks out there but I don't know them. Edit:: I appreciate the response from James to help me out. All good and 5 star.
