Long Lost Fillmore Concerts Online Radio
Thursday, February 9th, 2006 at 12:37 amVintage Radio is broadcasting boomerific (the good stuff) concerts taped by Bill Graham at concerts he promoted in the late 60’s/early 70’s at the Fillmores and elsewhere. (I’m currently listening to Clapton scream a ‘Sunshine of Your Love’ solo from October 1968 show at Oakland Coliseum that’s ripping my heart to bits.
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.

I just heard about the site tonight. I had heard that Bill Graham’s archieves had been sold and was wondering when some of these vintage concerts would be available. How do you access the broadcasts?
