  • Vintage Rock-N- Roll Treasure Site- Moondog Honored

    I dedicate this treasure site to Moondog- for what he has meant to this forum and to let him know he remains in our prayers.

    This is a collection of streaming concerts from the late 60's/early 70's. The man responsible for promoting these concerts was Bill Graham. After his death this vault of never before heard concerts was purchase and is now available for free at this site. There is some very cool stuff on there.

    This is an unusual find today- some of you have been in bands playing on the same ticket as these bands or just getting a buzz on and getting into it in your earlier years. You can hit the play botton and than minmize it to your bar and cap or surf the web while you listen to various bands/music of when Rock was the vogue. Enjoy!!

    You guys are gonna love this site! Thinking of who might really enjoy this---- Karl, Sandy, Blackbeard, Spark, Savage, etc. --all of us guys that were the 60s and 70s. I was stationed at Walter Reed, DC in the early 70s. Music from Fillmore Auditorium was hugh!

    www.wolfgangsvault.com

    Bill Graham and his concert promotion company, Bill Graham Presents, produced more than 35,000 concerts all over the world. His first venue, the legendary Fillmore Auditorium, was home to many of rock's greatest performers - Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, The Doors, The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye, Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Prince - and the list goes on and on.

    Graham taped thousands of live performances and stored the tapes in the basement of the BGP headquarters.

    These tapes and the concerts they captured lay dormant until the Bill Graham archive was acquired by Wolfgang's Vault (Bill Graham's given first name was Wolfgang) in 2003.

    Vault Radio is now playing selected tracks from these concerts in an FM-quality, 128K digital radio stream. Songs will be added to and removed from the radio show on a regular basis. We will be broadcasting unaltered live performance music from many of the greatest bands of the last 40 years. The music you hear on Vault Radio has not been sweetened or polished.

    You'll be listening to what the band played that night - nothing more, nothing less.
    This is the real thing and we hope you enjoy it. If you like the music or would like us to add other bands to the playlist, let us know through Feedback.

    Cheers!

      President LSU fan- Listening to Chicago at the moment- These recordings are not remastered so they come as they were. I love this collection.

      As another site member states:

      As a youngster growing up in NYC in the late 60's and 70's I saw some of the greatest concerts you can imagine. I wish I had kept all my concert stubs since I can't recall every one. But there were some special shows at the infamous Fillmore East that I will never forget, including:

      Hot Tuna (offshoot of Jefferson Airplane)
      Emerson, Lake & Palmer
      Humble Pie (w/Peter Frampton)
      Grin (w/ Neils Lofgren now lead guitarist for Springsteen)
      Slade ("Mama We're All Crazy Now")
      Alice Cooper

      Schaefer Beer used to have $2 concerts in Central Park (yes, $2!!!) in the summer aptly called the Shaefer Concert Series. Some of the more notable I can remember in my "altered" state:

      Mountain (one of my all time fav rock bands)
      Procol Harum
      ****** Winter
