You used to be able to download every Dead show, Audience or Soundboard. Over time, though, the Dead have released many Soundboard shows commercially. As of now, then, you can stream but not download Soundboard Dead concerts at archive.org. I don't know if this is the website's automatic policy or if someone official needs to ask for it. Dave.
