We have hit a major milestone: 50,000 individual shows by 2924 bands are now freely downloadable and streamable from http://www.archive.org/details/etree What a success for the commons! (from Tyler's post: http://www.archive.org/iathreads/post-view.php?id=195573 ) Project starts in aug/sept 2002 ... 10,000 shows March 26, 2004 http://www.archive.org/iathreads/post-view.php?id=13564 16,000 Aug 31, 2004 http://www.archive.org/iathreads/post-view.php?id=21086 20,000 Feb. 3, 2005 http://www.archive.org/iathreads/post-view.php?id=28212 25,000 July 21, 2005 http://www.archive.org/iathreads/post-view.php?id=39351 30,000 Feb. 13, 2006 http://www.archive.org/iathreads/post-view.php?id=56015 35,000 May 13, 2006 http://www.archive.org/iathreads/post-view.php?id=61084 40,000 June 9, 2007 http://www.archive.org/iathreads/post-view.php?id=128966 45,000 December 3, 2007 http://www.archive.org/iathreads/post-view.php?id=168428 50,000 June 4, 2008 I predict 55,000 by January 1, 2009. Let's keep this project rolling! 60,000 by next memorial day? we'll see! so much of the recorded library out there for all bands is already up on archive.org, the next 10,000 would have to be mostly new stuff. get out there and ask your favorite band if they are okay with sharing their live recordings on archive.org's Live Music Archive project!
