Been enjoying the music on your website for the last hour, very grateful for your work! :)

Why those bands, and not others? What do they have in common?

All of these bands have agreed to allow people to tape and distribute their concerts for free. This is most popular in the jam band community, but you’ll find a plethora of other bands that allow it as well.

I see! May I suggest adding this awesome japanese band from the 60's? Les Rallizes Dénudés - not sure about the legal status, but there's a lot of live material and afaik the band incentivized bootlegs, perhaps inspired by the Dead!
