Good news, classic rock fans: Universal Music Group (UMG) has struck a deal with
Wolfgang's Vault (a Web site that peddles classic rock memorabilia and concerts in digital format) to put concerts produced by the late legendary producer
Bill Graham online for purchase. Now, alongside the 500 or so other concerts available on the site, users will also be able to purchase rare live performances from
Bob Marley,
Lynyrd Skynyrd, and
Jimi Hendrix.
The site was started by Bill Sagan after he acquired the cache of memorabilia and concert recordings that belonged to Bill Graham. As the legal details are ironed out, more artists' works will be available for download, and eventually Sagan hopes to offer the recordings in that most modern of formats, twelve-inch vinyl. [Source:
