A guide around the music.
Never a replacement for it.
Live Guide is a dated listening episode that combines grounded narration with selected Archive-hosted recordings and a visible timeline.
Coming in release 1.2
The App Store currently offers LiveVault 1.1. Guide and My Trip are part of the upcoming 1.2 release.
Live Guide ships in LiveVault 1.2 as one shared episode for each calendar date. The episode is pre-rendered before listening rather than generated when someone opens the app.
What the Guide does
Each dated episode alternates narration and music, exposes its timeline, and carries source-aware context into playback. Every listener gets the same episode for the day; it is not personalized. Access is free with sign-in.
What the Guide does not do
- It does not generate, alter, remaster, or imitate a Grateful Dead performance.
- It does not present invented scene-setting as archival evidence.
- It does not hide which portions are narration and which are original recordings.
- It does not make Archive playback itself a paid feature.
Evidence before eloquence
Guide material should be grounded in verified show data and visible source records. Unsupported factual claims are blocked or rewritten. Ambiguity stays ambiguity; a model does not get to turn it into lore.
Pricing and privacy
In the upcoming 1.2 release, Live Guide is free with sign-in. No subscription or payment information is required.
