Unlike Olestra, this won’t result in peculiar anal side-effects, since you won’t end up doing any jail time for this torrenting.
Bt.Etree.org is a torrent site that specializes in “trade friendly artist” live recording swaps. Naturally it’s heavily suffused with Grateful Dead and Phish. So much so that they added a filter link so you don’t have to sort through all of it! If those two bands and their numerous kin aren’t really your speed, take heart as there is a good variety to be had.
With well over 2500 torrents to their credit and a forum membership of 13804 (and counting), bt.etree definitely has the potential to become a powerhouse of free music trade.

Sure beats swapping dubious-looking tapes with some guy who lives in his Ford Pinto, huh?
