The Grateful Dead released two full concerts from March 1992 on the Play Dead app on Tuesday. The shows were recorded at the Capital Centre in Landover, Maryland, and are available to stream in high-resolution audio.
Why it matters
The release adds previously unheard recordings from the band's vault to a platform that now offers a steady stream of archival material. It gives listeners access to live performances that had not been widely available before.
The app's library launched with 20 previously unreleased archival recordings, and David Lemieux adds two shows each Tuesday. Both March 1992 concerts were mastered from the original Ampex 467 DAT recordings by David Glasser.
The players
Grateful Dead
The San Francisco rock band known for its improvisational live performances and long-running devoted fan base.
David Lemieux
The archivist who curates the band's vault and selects the shows added to the Play Dead app each week.

Legacy Catalog
The release carries forward the Dave's Picks series, which had been sold only on CD, into a streaming app that now adds archival shows each week. Moving the vault onto a subscription-style platform changes how long-running catalogs reach listeners.
Listeners can stream both 1992 Capital Centre concerts in high-resolution audio through the Play Dead app. A new show will be added to the app every Tuesday, selected by David Lemieux from the band's vault.

Archival live recordings can now reach fans on a weekly schedule rather than as occasional physical releases. Anyone interested in the band's catalog can check the Play Dead app for new additions each Tuesday.
