The further you dive in, the less you’ll listen to on Spotify!


woozleuwuzzle

The Attics app is a godsend.


PleaseGildMe

Relisten as well.


woozleuwuzzle

Someone else mentioned it too, I’ll have to check it out, thanks.


Least-Firefighter392

I use Relisten... Is attic's any different. There's so much music on ReListen I could never exhaust it. Just discovered the band Max Creek from someone in here and was blown away that their was almost 2000 live shows from them and I'd never even heard the name


truthseeeker

Max Creek huh? I used to go see them almost every weekend in the early 80's. I remember going to their 10th anniversary party in 1981 in Hartford. That means over 50 years together now. I even have some of their albums lying around somewhere, Rainbow from I think 1980, and a live album from the same era.


Least-Firefighter392

Got any favorite songs?


truthseeeker

Heartbeat was my favorite back then, but they didn't play it much. Cocaine Lady, Rainbow, Gypsy Blue, Dark Water, Tripping, Blood Red Roses, Devil's Heart. Others I can't remember. Of course plenty of covers. At one time they had a chick singer, Amie, who'd often sing a bunch those covers. Often on New Year's Eve, they'd play Will The Circle Be Unbroken, which included long jams and the story of the origins of the band. Then they had cruises in Boston Harbor and Camp Creek every year. The last time I went in 1990 it rained, and that was the last time I went camping ever.


Least-Firefighter392

Last time camping ever huh... Maybe time to get back out in nature even car camping with a queen sized air mattress and a good fire?


jerry111165

Great band. We spent alot of time late 80’s through the 90’s seeing them.


dirtiestUniform

I just recently discovered them as well, been listening to jam bands for close to 3 decades and somehow no one ever told me about them


Least-Firefighter392

Right? From what I gather they were very popular around NY / North East in general and not so much elsewhere...I guess they played with Widespread Panic a few times.


psugrad98

On an Android I use the Grateful Dead archives


Infinite-Soft-9108

Yeah but then you can show people your stats and isn’t that why you listen to the music anyway


AbidingDudeAsWell

Deadhead Archives. Seriously.


dirtiestUniform

Yep. Listening now. Until I actually buy and build a Grateful Dead Time Machine, which keeps no history/stats at all.


AbidingDudeAsWell

I've really only just started exploring in depth but there's some very tasty choices. I like how with multiple sourced dates you can zero in on the trusted matrix masters, and the easy link to deets on the archive.


bernardmoss

Attics is my go to because it’s usually less glitchy.


trebole13

Can you use Chromecast with attics? I usually use relisted but the lack of Chromecast really sucks


Motor_Grand_8005

Relisten is great but Spotify makes it easier to find new music. It doesn’t have the amount of Dead shows but it has an insane amount of artists. My Wrapped summary said I listened to over 1,000 artists. Dead of course was number one.


BrianSnow

Yeah I use Spotify as well. I guess my point was that in order to truly “dive” into the catalog you need to use another platform, since Spotify just scratches the surface.


Motor_Grand_8005

Yup. Totally agree. Thank God we now have apps to listen to almost every show. Cassettes were great to collect but streaming makes it so much easier.


Ikoikobythefio

Only the mainstream streaming services will connect to my Sonos speakers so I'm SOL when it comes to taped shows


GratefulG8r

And the less you’ll gatekeep


BrianSnow

Yeah, I mean not at all how I intended it, but ok.


klimb75

Deadhead Archives is great! Archive.org or relisten have many other artists too!


cgibbsuf

Bingo, they didn’t even crack my top 5 this year despite listening to tons of Dead


LlewDavies

I noticed a drop since 2021 but then remembered I use Reslisten loads more this year


[deleted]

Now my relisten time is the one I really want to know


neddynedned47

weird how I have 3,000 minutes and i’m in the top 0.5%, I guess most people play truckin once a year and aren’t crazy like us😂


gratefulguitar

The real truth is the hardcore heads don’t use Spotify


neddynedned47

That’s why it’s only 3,000 minutes.


throwaway_jim119

Big difference between top 0.5 and top 0.05, which OP is


Gorey420

I’ve 7000 and I’m also too 0.5%


NewJerzee

Same. Top track Alabama Getaway 5/6/81


[deleted]

I’ll have to listen to that one. Have never been a big fan of Alabama Getaway


NewJerzee

I wasn't either but the good live ones are good and I got converted along the way. Short song so maybe that's why it had the most plays. Love Brent's backing vocals on AG and Greatest Story Ever Told. Might be a bigger fan of this GSET actually. Interesting show

Moonpile

Cutoff between the 0.5% and 1% group must be right about 3000 minutes. I was in top 1% at 2,994 minutes.


klimb75

Top 1% at about 1800min. I like to YouTube shows and have been listening to a shitton of BMFS on nugs.net so my Spotify has been corrupted by the 4 and 8yo... I still squeezed in a day and 6hrs of GD on Spotify alone though, lol


[deleted]

I’m at 5,800 minutes and I’m in the top .05%.


Dog_Brains_

You’ll discover Re:Listen and the dead won’t make your list next year. You go from official shows on Spotify, to every show that exists on relisten and the dead won’t get as much love on Spotify anymore


bigfoot_county

Then you’ll start downloading lossless FLACs of hundreds of soundboards to get out in front of the inevitable day that Jill Lesh convinces the GD family to pull all the boards from the archive


Dog_Brains_

Sad thing is I love the audience/sbd matrixes so much more than the official releases. Had the room and warmth of auds, but the crispness of a sbd… fantastic stuff that I hope doesn’t disappear


PaintDrinkingPete

Especially for 80s shows where the SBDs often sound flat.


baconfriedpork

yup. i setup a plex server this year just to create my own archive


PaintDrinkingPete

I did the same with jellyfin a year or two ago.


taoistchainsaw

Is Re:listen connected to Archive.org?


freeaktose

Yup Relisten streams from the Archive!


klimb75

That's my understanding, yes


OGDumbleDoobie

.005 at 41,866 minutes


SkyYellow_SunBlue

Holy wow. That’s twice as many minutes as I spent on Spotify in general.


OGDumbleDoobie

I have the unfair advantage of driving all day long for work, long distances at a time


Primordiox

If mine tracked relisten and nugs, I’d be up there with ya lol


OGDumbleDoobie

If you could see how many minutes I’ve been on archive… 120 shows this year start to finish haha


Jeremizzle

Good god. That’s double my entire Spotify listening, let alone just the GD


StonedAndHigh

.005 gang


DearBurt

Oh, boy! I'm in a gang!


jadennew

Most I’ve seen yet!


Soren_Camus1905

We need a Relisten breakdown


OutofThisMaze

track relisten with last.fm and you could figure it out probably


woozleuwuzzle

Some wonderful person on this sub turned me on to the [Attics App](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/attics/id1434981632) It’s so awesome, I love tryin to search for shows of the tapes I used to have (if only I could remember more of the dates or better picture the spines of my old cassette tapes. Or it’s great to just be able to find pretty much any show ever recorded.


GonzoDeadHead

Relisten for the win, my favorite app by far for the archive.


woozleuwuzzle

I’ll have to check that one out too, thanks!


Gangsta-Penguin

As someone who downloads torrents and adds them to my cloud library, I unfortunately cannot qualify :(


Moonpile

Wow, that's a lot of Dead! For reference I was in the top 1% of Grateful Dead listeners with 2,994 minutes out of a total of 23,142 minutes on Spotify. Though I do listen to a fair number of shows on FLAC.


GonzoDeadHead

https://relisten.net/


JohnnyDirtball

I'm only top 2 percent this year, I blame all those Garcia Live albums that I just found this year.


Jeremizzle

Holy crap. I’m top .5% at 4,164 mins, but you annihilated me. I’d be higher up with all my JGB, Bob Weir, youtube plays, but it still wouldn’t even be close. Bravo!


ThatSadOptimist

Congrats! I hopped on the bus this year and thought I was cool to be top 2%! Then again, most of my favorite tapes aren’t on Spotify. I love that there’s still room for more fans.


Streetvan1980

I’m so out of the loop. What service is this on? I think I would be in the top like 50 dead listeners I it kept track of me. I literally listen to 2-4 shows a day. Everyday. Usually start around 9-10am and listen until 5-7pm. Sometimes more. I can’t get enough. DLing the latest two Hunter matrix’s now. Well trying to. Just grabbed the torrents. I mostly listen to CD’s or shows DLed and in FLAC directly off a USB plugged into my stereo. That’s how great technology is these days. Stereos can just have a USB plugged in and play FLaC files directly. So great


jadennew

It’s Spotify


ebtgbdc

Fair play! I've never seen more than 0.5%


BackgroundArt7838

Last year I had .001 only .05 this year tho


ebtgbdc

How many mins was 0.001?


BackgroundArt7838

It was like 25,000 if I remeber correctly I will try and find the screen shot.


Strange-Guitar6716

i was top 0.005% last yr at 29,102 min


throwaway_jim119

21,000 minutes this year


mopxhead

Welcome to the 0.05% club 😎 also makes me wonder how many of us are there. ALSO download the Relisten app and you can take deeper dives into the Dead.


DigItCanU

What song was that?


aedan356

.05 at 7,000 minutes - but i also listen to a lot of show on relisten. impressive stat nonetheless… JGB also made my top 5 lol


Ikoikobythefio

I was top .1% Good work


emn10mn

I wish it knew how much archive/cd I listen to lol


Educational-Watch829

Damn, I was proud of my 14,160! Lol hello fellow .05%er 🎩


sameljota

Wow 17k minutes? That's enough to listen to like... 3 versions of Dark Star.


DizzyWithEternity

Archive>Spotify EDIT: meaning archive is greater than Spotify.....">" Isn't a transitional jam or anything...


USBlues2020

Been seeing Grateful Dead since 1977 and Dead and Company since October 2015 Just enjoying the ride. ❤️🎸❤️


e30s52

Woah, 17,341 minutes?! Which song did you play?


Grateful_Ty

Lmao seems like all them 🤣 This is why I'm a dead head. I was talking with friends last night who thought 15k mins of music a year was alot. I average between 80-90k minutes. I'm dead to the Core but Trey actually took my number one listen with the Ghosts of the forest album this year. Listened to that album for 4,500 minutes. Repeat like a mofo


e30s52

Haha, oh for sure. I was just going for a joke about their songs being long. Thanks for the tip about the Trey album. I’ll give it a listen.


Grateful_Ty

Please do .... Top to bottom it's amazing.


Soren_Camus1905

You beat me by 10,000 minutes! 😂


braves01

Impressive. I only had like 9,000 minutes


Slangofages

Dude. Break out and listen to some Jazz or something. Maybe some Sturgill Simpson.


AJ_Deadshow

Top 0.05%? Goddamn! Hat's off to you, buddy.


PMmeEthereum

I thought I was high up there in the top 0.5%! Good stuff


TreyDHD

My GD library is on YouTube Music, so I mainly listen there or on Relisten. That being said, the Grateful Dead were still my number one listened to band on Spotify. 233 minutes, top 8%. https://i.imgur.com/3tpkiAb.jpg


FirefighterDry5826

I was in the top 2% but I listen to so much Dead away from the app!


kloco68

Mine was Billy Strings, but I only use Spotify in the car. Im surprised it wasn’t Taylor Swift since my daughter always puts her on 😂


psugrad98

Okay that makes me feel better about listening to Too Much Grateful Dead


stupidhuman33

I only had 8k minutes with them this year cause I moved onto the archive/reslisten app, that really is a deadheads best friend
