A few years back I bought a Grateful Dead Time Machine, an Arduino music player that streams GD shows available on Archive.org. My only complaint about it was that I couldn't take it with me when I was out of the house. So after Bob Weir passed earlier this year, I decided to take matters into my own hands and build one on my own. This player will stream any Bob Weir show, from the earliest Grateful Dead shows to his last Dead & Co, run, if it is available on Archive.org. The use of the app is meant to be intuitive as the GDTM: Dial in a date, click on search. If you get confused, listen to the music play!
