Bill Graham Collection Now On YouTube
When concert promoter Bill Graham died in 1991 he left behind not only a legacy as one of the most influential figures in the modern entertainment industry but a massive archive of audio and video recordings from the decades’ worth of shows he had a hand in putting on. The company Wolfgang’s Vault (Graham was born Wulf Wolodia Grajonca and was known as “Wolfgang†before he moved to America to flee the Holocaust) was formed just over a decade ago in order to restore and monetize his collection. Since then it’s acquired even more material, and spun off a paid streaming service called Concert Vault. A few months ago they started bringing some of their hoard over to YouTube under the name Music Vault, where they’ve been posting individual videos for free viewing. Today the whole stash goes live.
