My favorite area is the "audio" link in the upper navbar. Then follow the link to "Live Music Archive"

There are free *LEGAL* downloads of live shows by 311, Camper Van Beethoven, Gin Blossoms, Local H, Ekoostik Hookah, and many other bands.

Please try the Hot Buttered Rum String Band - they are a fun bluegrass band who plays on the west coast. Their Jan 04 show from the Bean Scene is especially good.
