Thanks for the feedback! The Archive has been down since last week. You can check their Twitter for updates, but until they are back online the shows in the app will remain unavailable for playback.

This is an excellent archive of live music. It basically has the entire catalog of Grateful Dead and Phish live bootlegs. They also have listed a ton of other bands, most of which I've never heard of, but I suppose they all fall into that category of "jam band" music. Probably also because these are more bands that don't care about copyright issues. Otherwise it'd be nice to see bootleg performances of more well known bands like Zeppelin, The Stones, The Who, etc. Anyway, it's still a great app.

It's better than the archive app, but still glitchy at times. Any time I want to search something new, I have to force close the app and reopen it. Searches also take forever to pull up and even longer to scroll through if the results are long. Play/pause option also disappears occasionally if I lock my screen, forcing me to force close the app and reopen it again.

Caleb, Thanks for the feedback. I'm sorry you are having trouble. Considering you are using a Galaxy S9 you shouldn't have any lag when viewing search results. If you'd like to email me at support@taperssection.net I can work with you to resolve your issues.
