What Deadheads are saying.
“Finally, an app that gets it. Cornell '77 is just there. One tap.”
“The source switcher alone is worth it. SBD vs AUD without leaving the show.”
“‘On this day’ is dangerous. I lost a whole afternoon to ’73.”
“Beautifully designed. Doesn’t feel like an Archive frontend at all.”
“Offline downloads + AirPlay = my new road trip stack.”
“Free. Ad-free. The Dead would approve.”
Frequently asked.
The honest answers.
Is it free?
Yes. LiveVault is free with no ads. Content is streamed from the Internet Archive.
Is this legal?
Yes. The Grateful Dead have an official policy allowing free sharing of their live recordings. The Internet Archive hosts this collection with the band's permission.
What about studio albums?
LiveVault streams live recordings only, not studio releases.
Do I need an account?
Yes. A free LiveVault account lets you sync your favorites, playlists, and notes across iOS and the web.
How is this different from Play Dead?
Play Dead is a $10/month official streaming app from Nugs.net focused on their remasters. LiveVault streams the entire Internet Archive collection (2,300+ shows) for free, lets you switch between SBD/MTX/AUD sources of the same show, and is building AI + social features designed for the way Deadheads actually listen. Different vibe. Different price.
Is there an Android version?
Coming soon. iOS is available now on the App Store.
Take the vault with you.
Free on iOS. Pro features for the price of a coffee. No ads on the music — ever.
