Rare Live Recordings May Soon Be Available to the Public
Ed. Note: U2 items available from Wolfgang's Vault include live photos dating back to 1981, backstage passes and souvenirs from Live Aid and The Conspiracy of Hope Tour. Prices for these rare items range from $24 for ticket stubs to $1,000 for a photograph of Bono performing at San Francisco's Justin Herman Plaza in Nov. 1987.

Up to 100,000 recordings of such rock legends as Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Madonna, Elton John and Elvis Costello—the world’s largest independent rock/pop archive—might soon be opened to the world for the first time.
The video and audio recordings, captured by U.S. concert promoter Bill Graham, sat in a San Francisco basement for more than 10 years after Graham's death. But now, Bill Sagan has bought the collection and is negotiating with the musicians for permission to release their lost works, the U.K. Times reports.
The music lover's wet dream of a collection is said to include video of the final 1978 Sex Pistols show and the legendary Who performance of 1973, during which drummer Keith Moon collapsed and a kid from the crowd was chosen to drum for the rest of the show. There are also clips of Joe Cocker puking on stage, Madonna smacking herself in the face with her ridiculously big necklaces, Elton John singing "Your Song" and Led Zeppelin playing "Howlin' Wolf's Killing Floor," an early version of "The Lemon Song." Aretha Franklin, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Marley, Chuck Berry, Frank Zappa, Johnny Cash, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Nirvana, U2, Neil Young, The Doors and Bob Dylan are among the dozens of others who pop up in the collection.
Sagan, a Zeppelin fan from Minnesota, obtained the collection from Graham's heirs for about $5.9 million, beating Microsoft billionaire Paul Allen out of the deal. The collection is estimated to actually be worth about $103 million.
You can purchase select items from the collection, including authentic, vintage T-shirts, ties, handbills, posters, photos and ticket stubs, at www.wolfgangsvault.com. Sagan has also given fans a taste of his most prized bounty, the music recordings, via his online radio station, available for streaming on the same website.
This print is available from Wolfgang's Vault for $300.
But should he secure permission from the artists, fans could very soon be taking home a slice of the rarest, most sought after recordings created in the past 30 years. The Times reports even Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin has commented that he's eager to see what the archive contains.

but the playlist changes every Tuesday. Right now it's mostly rock acts from the 60's and early 70's.
