what makes this different

You are not staring at a database.

Start with a reason

Open the app and get a show worth hearing, a path worth following, or a thread to pull when the catalog feels too big.

Keep your trail

Check in what you heard, mark what you attended, save favorites, leave notes, and build a personal map of where the music took you.

Find the next door

Every show can point somewhere else: another era, a famous sequence, a hidden gem, or the version someone would hand you after saying, “try this.”

ways in

Choose a doorway.

Start with a guided path, a daily ritual, a show tracker, or your own trail through the music.

Pick a thread. Pull it.
family tree

The map starts with the Grateful Dead, then leaves room for the branches listeners naturally follow: Jerry Garcia Band, Dead & Company, Phil & Friends, RatDog, solo Jerry, and beyond.

why it exists

Not a player. A map.

Deadhead High keeps the experience beautiful, structured, and personal — then sends listeners to the right source when they’re ready to play.

Relisten is the road. This is the painted map.

Deadhead High is built around the thing Relisten and Archive do not fully solve: a guided, personal, collectible way to move through a massive live catalog.

Think of it as a living concert poster, a listening journal, and a way to keep your own trail through the music. It does not try to trap you in another player. Deadhead High helps you choose what to hear, then gets you to the music.

Show availability and listening links come from Archive and Relisten. Setlist data is sourced from gdshowsdb, an MIT-licensed project by Jeff Smith.
