Wolfgang's Vault is a site which owns thousands of concert recordings from Bill Graham's collection.

http://www.wolfgangsvault.com/

They have a FlashPlayer to stream the recordings over the net

The free screensavers are too cool. I use to grab those off the shopping center windows back in '68 and '69. I was only like 12 then. I loved those days.

You might want to try this address on SqueezeNetwork

There are rumours this will let you play the Wolfgang's Vault stream through the SB

would this be one of the channels that is still available, after the mods Wayne?

Just checking...

I believe they are streaming at 128K

The removal of the 12.28 crystal only affects those stations streaming below 48k

Back to the top!

On CBS' "Sunday Morning" (with Charles Osgood) this morning, they did about a 10-15 minute piece on this treasure-trove, and the guy who has it.
Simply incredible and causing much lust for original posters and such I'll never afford. Over 6000 concerts 'in-the-can' waiting to be discovered!

The guy said he really didn't know what he had bought (for roughly 6 million!)
but started to get the idea when FORTY semi's loaded showed up to bring his treasure to his warehouse. Man, can you imagine!

I sure cannot wait (well, yes I can) to see what will be released in the future in terms of DVD's of old concerts. Bill Graham seemed to have been an over-the-top hoarder, preparing for his retirement, if it had ever come.

Hope some of y'all got a chance to see this piece!

Wolfgang's Vault server is 'too busy' now!

"Kick out the jams, m****r-f****rs!"

Hiya Chris,

I watched that this morning. It was a pretty cool piece. I tried logging on to show my lovely wife a couple of things I'd picked out and it was almost impossible. The site was getting hammered. I guess I'll have to wait a few days before I get my order in

And for nearly 30 years Graham saved EVERYTHING he could get his hands on from every concert he ever put on.

"Bill Graham was a pack rat," said Sagan. "I think Bill Graham just put everything down in that storage area and was going to keep it forever."

....who said being a pack rat was bad......
