Yep, don't even need to be free...

Been into bootlegs for ages. SQ can vary, usually performance quality more than compensates.

Transmission releases can be fantastic but same rules apply (see link), and now
is the time for good quality releases of some golden era stuff.

Grateful Dead fans been trading live tapes for decades, Los Lobos fans too.

A favorite transmission that caught on:

Board recordings are usually fantastic.

Those 3 CD sets look interesting.

Better if they are free. I have a Smithereens/Fabulous Thunderbirds Westwood One vinyl LP and at one time thought searching those out would be kind neat but looking into them is when I ran into the free concert download. There was a guy, a retired pilot I think, running ousterhout.net for years with a great collection of concert downloads. Kind of a goldmine of Americana. Last time I visited that site was down and I tried to look him up and found an obituary. Guitars101 has lots of more popular music (lots of crappy sound too), the Live Music Archives is probably were I started when I first got into downloading. Lots of Grateful Dead and related stuff there but deep dives can turn up some really nice finds.

Sometimes they come with album art. Sometimes I get to find something to use as album art and surprising how often it's actually around with a search. I update tag files and put them in my digital music library where they show up with my LPs and CDs in music players I use.

  There's what to do with that next lifetime I applied for.
  
  THIS is why I'm saving downloading until then.
  
  Just the Lobos material could keep me busy until I finish breast feeding!
  
  Not that I'd be in any hurry...
