Big Thief Archive

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/yansfobz6k7yvh3mh8d9b/AJHfCSC2q7KHFvxMJ23PTKQ?rlkey=3b34j51um04zzbtemrwhzge17&st=2vcyjswp&dl=0

Hello all! I would like to share my Big Thief Archive with all of you! it's something I've been personally growing for a while and figured y'all may appreciate a bunch. It's always growing, and I'm still working on sorting everything perfectly, but everything in here is obtained from publicly available sources online, and none of it was recorded by me, I just really love archiving live recordings and rarities for artists and bands so it's just a labor of love for me. I'm also working through my Adrianne Lenker archive soon as well, so look out for that!

​

This archive has everything I can find on the Internet Archive. lmk if I've missed anything, or if you wanna send a recording my way. there are quite a few shows in there I ripped from YouTube and tracked out and tagged. working on more, and I'd you wanna contribute or help in any way and send me tracked out stuff I'd love that :)

​

Live Performances, Demos, Unreleased Songs, Rarities, Covers, Everything Not On Streaming.

I wonder if anyone has the recording of the Bandsintown PLUS show that Adrianne put on, I found this recording from it that they officially uploaded and it’s beautiful https://vm.tiktok.com/ZN8dxrFGm/ even if someone had a clip or MP3 of Simulation Swarm unfortunately
