So, who out there likes live music?

Sorry, wrong question.

Who out there LOVES live music?

Yeah, that would be the right question.

If you LOVE live music the way that I LOVE live music, then, have I got a site for you. Do yourself a huge favour and check out www.wolfgangsvault.com.

Wolfgang's Vault is the place where a whole shit load of Bill Graham's meticulously compiled archives from the heyday of rock 'n' roll has been assembled. Don't know who Bill Graham is? Well, back in the day, he was only THE most influential concert promoter. How influential? Let me put it this way; if any band played in North America, odds were they were presented by Bill Graham. Were talking The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Band and a shitload more artists that didn't necessarily have the word "The" in their title.

How about The Sex Pistols very last public performance with Sid Vicious? Never mind audio, WV has it in pristine video as well.

The Who at Tanglewood outdoor theatre in Lenox, Massachusetts near the end of what for them I'm sure was an interminable run of playing Tommy start to finish in stunning quality video. Aerosmith playing a watershed show at the Schaefer Music Festival in Central Park back in 1975 shortly after the release of their seminal album Toys In The Attic.

The complete Last Waltz show on video. One of the last shows Lynyrd Skynyrd ever performed before that fateful day in October of 1977 when the Convair 240 ran out of gas and crashed just outside of Baton Rouge, again captured on video.

AC/DC, U2 back in their club days, The Tubes, A Flock of Seagulls, The Allman Brothers Band, Alice Cooper and OH so many more artists captured in audio, video or, sometimes both.

If you love live music, then you really owe it to yourself to check out Wolfgang's Vault. It's free to join but, if you do want to become a premium member you can download many of these amazing time capsule shows.
