The Lot
Follow the band. Trade the tape.
Tie-dye, veggie burritos in the parking lot, and a band that never played the same show twice. The jam scene was its own universe — tapers in the back, set lists you chased for years, and a crowd that toured along. From the Dead and the Allmans to Phish and Panic, these are the bands you saw, not just heard.

- The Grateful Dead set aside a 'tapers section' so fans could record and trade shows — piracy by every label's logic, devotion by theirs.
- Phish rang in 2000 with an eight-hour, sunrise-greeting set in the Florida Everglades for 80,000 people.
