So, we all know that we can use the Internet Archive (also known as the Wayback Machine) to try to find old internet pages.
Did you know, though, that they have an extensive archive of live music?
It turns out to be especially good for Grateful Dead fans, which is a category I'm guessing overlaps neatly with "people who work on the Internet Archive."
The Grateful Dead encouraged taping of their live performances, rather than trying to stamp it out as with most bands. So there are a great many recordings out there and a whole subculture of open tape sharing and trading.
