SolarGarlic Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Don't know if anyone has posted this or not...cool either way!BILL GRAHAM'S VAULT IS OPENwww.wolfgangsvault.comJamBase has just received news that a plethora of vintage performancesfrom some of rock's biggest names are now available through Wolfgang'sVault.Vault Radio has begun streaming some 75 songs culled from thousands ofhours of tapes from the archives of legendary promoter Bill Graham. Itappears that some of these performances from Graham's archive willeventually make it to stores, perhaps by the end of the year.Located in a 22,000 square foot warehouse in San Francisco, Wolfgang'sVault boasts authentic concert materials from such artists as JohnnyCash, Miles Davis, Santana, Jefferson Airplane, Rolling Stones, U2, TomPetty, Jimi Hendrix and the Who.The bulk of the music was obtained for more than $5 million in 2003 byentrepreneur Bill Sagan who named it in honor of Graham, born WolfgangGrajonca. Graham died in a 1991 helicopter crash.The initial Vault Radio playlist is "all over the board in terms ofperformer, year, venue and genre," Sagan tells Billboard.biz. "You'llhear Miles Davis, Led Zeppelin, Bruce Springsteen from 1973 when heopenedfor Blood, Sweat & Tears at the Berkeley (Calif.) Community Theatre,"Sagan says. "You'll hear instrumental-only from Booker T & the MGs, andyou'll also hear Jeff Beck and Elton John. The single thread ofcontinuity is these are all concerts Bill Graham promoted from themid-1960sthrough 1975, for the first group."The site is free and requires no subscription fee for streaming at128k.Here are some recent tracks:Led ZeppelinI Can't Quit You Baby01/10/1969 Fillmore WestChuck BerrySweet Little Sixteen12/29/1967 WinterlandCreamNSU08/26/1967 Fillmore AuditoriumElton JohnBurn Down The Mission11/12/1970 Fillmore WestJimi HendrixPower to Love12/31/1969 Fillmore EastCreedence Clearwater RevivalProud Mary03/14/1969 Fillmore WestPink FloydHave a Cigar05/09/1977 Oakland Coliseum Arena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zero Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 If you like the Blood, Sweat and Tears you'll love the Tower of Power they have that comes around every once in a while on their stream. The Tumbleweed Connection era Elton is top drawer as is the Elvis Costello stuff (the Radio has the drummer or someone going 'oosh oosh oosh ooosh' along with the big drum part - anyway it just sounds so cool).
