06 / THE LONG STRANGE INDEX
The lore is part
of the interface.
Stories connect songs, places, technology, trade, service, memory, and the people who kept the archive alive.
1960s–present
Open the lore map →The tapers' section
A culture of permission, gear craft, lineage notes, trading, preservation, and listening that made the live archive possible.
1980s–presentShakedown Street as a moving village
The parking-lot marketplace became gas money, gallery, kitchen, message board, and social map for people moving from show to show.
1974The Wall of Sound
A giant, short-lived sound system that treated amplification as part engineering project, part collective instrument.
May 8, 1977How Cornell became more than a date
Tape circulation, performance quality, scarcity, debate, and repetition turned one Barton Hall show into a shared reference point.
August 27, 1972Veneta, the Field Trip, and the heat
A benefit, a scorching Oregon day, a famously exploratory set, and a filmed crowd made the event a complete piece of scene mythology.
August 1–9The Days Between
The span from Jerry Garcia's birthday to the day he died became an annual period for shows, service, memory, art, and gathering.
