To those who do not know, Bill Graham was one of the most influential behind the scenes people of the 70's San Francisco music scene (i.e. Greatful Dead, Rolling Stones, you name it...) He was a known pack rat and recently his personal "stash" was found (no not that one). It contains MANY never heard before live recordings and new renditions of some of our favorite songs/bands so be on the look out. Also there is tons of original memorabilia being sold from the current owners like original concert posters and T-shirts. Sorry I don't have more details but I only heard it on the radio a while ago... happy hunting

For those who don't know who Graham was but should or those who only know the name, check out his outstanding autobiography (co-authored with Robert Greenfield), "Bill Graham Presents."
Go to Wolfgang's Vault and it is all there. I am listening to BB King from 68 as I type this.
I HAVE THE 4X8 PAINTING THAT ADVERTISED THE UPSTAIRS POSTER AND HEAD STORE INSIDE WINTERLAND . I also have the wooden sign that showed that the store was open - both are in excellent cond. Would like some info on how to get an appraisal.
Do a web search for Eric King. He is the God of the hippy poster world. He has an email address that you can write him. If he doesn't know I am not sure anyone would.
I have signed up for the classic concerts that are sent by email but the posters and other stuff are very over priced. I have collected the posters for years and have not been able to deal with them. They have an original Woodstock ticket way over priced by hundreds. I have 2 original $18 tickets in sequencial order that were no where near that price.
