The poster art and other memorabilia are available for sale at the parent site: http://www.wolfgangsvault.com/ That's what is supposedly causing a flap among some of the bands featured on the music site. They are making noises about suing because the current owner of the archive is using the music to sell off these posters, T-shirts, and other collectibles, with the bands getting none of the profits on materials that they originally supplied to Graham, often for free. I empathize with their plight, but I hope that their modern sense of...uh...greed doesn't negatively impact a wonderful musical resource. > On Dec 21, 2006, at 5:45 AM, TurquoiseB wrote: > > > http://concerts.wolfgangsvault.com/ > > > > Click on "Performers" in the top menu bar and > > be amazed at the number of artists whose live > > performances are available for listening here. > > Click on a few of the concerts and be even more > > amazed at the quality. > > > > This site is nothing less than the late Bill > > Graham's private collection of recordings from > > the concerts he produced over the years.
