The Live Music Archive (LMA), part of the Internet Archive, is an ad-free collection of over 250,000 concert recordings[1] in lossless audio formats.[2] The songs are also downloadable or playable in lossy formats such as Ogg Vorbis or MP3. The website is known for its extensive collection of Grateful Dead recordings,[3] and contains music from many other bands.
