Andrew Marlin String Band — Green Mountain Bluegrass & Roots Festival, 16 August 2026

A live concert recording from the Internet Archive's Live Music Archive, which holds only bands that have given permission to be recorded and traded. That permission is the whole basis of the collection. The Grateful Dead formally set aside a taper section behind the soundboard in 1984, legitimising what their audience was already doing, and the bands that inherited that audience inherited the policy with it — so these recordings exist because the artists wanted them to, not in spite of them. Andrew Marlin String Band at Green Mountain Bluegrass & Roots Festival, 16 August 2026. This is the only recording of this band in the archive. The setlist, the taper and the recording chain are not in the file name, and for this kind of recording they are what listeners most want to know.
