Rock's living history, streamed online

[zokah]

In 1970, 20-year-old student Bill Sagan had his first real brush with rock and roll history at an early Led Zeppelin concert at Chicago's fabled Aragon Ballroom.
Now the entrepreneur owns one of rock's biggest treasure troves of recorded shows by Zeppelin and other history-making bands, and he's beginning to share it freely online.
Since 2002, Sagan has owned the full archives of legendary promoter Bill Graham, whose concerts featuring performers such as the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix and others helped define the late 1960s and early '70s. Late last week, Sagan began putting excerpts from these concerts, many of which have never been released, online by way of a free Internet radio station on his company's Wolfgang's Vault site.
"My view is that a live performance is better than the studio," he says. "Live is what a band played that night. If they talked between songs, it's there. If they broke a string, it's there."

I'll have to scope it out.....when I get broadband :(



I still treasure my original vinyl copies of Zeppelin, Rush, the Dead, Cream etc. I can't stand to listen to the local 'classic rock' station as I can tell you right now without turning on the radio that if it's Zep, Hendix or CCR they are playing the same tunes they always play, nary a b-side track to be had.

When at work I pilfer coveted bandwidth and listen to internet stations like Aural Moon and the like. They play tons of the more obscure stuff.

And I love to frighten co-workers by signing along the Moby Grape :lol:

Robitussin make me feel so fine...Robitussin and Elderberry wine

[MamaBush]

I don't listen to that kind of music

[zokah]

what? did you only listen to gospel or some other weird shit in the late 60's and early 70's


I don't really remember the 70's except I got all these wierd tie-died tshirts, some very kewl album and some pic that appear to be from then. (They say if you remember the 70's you were really there:D )

[i`m a wannabe]

if you were really there means not enough drugs

[xen]

i was born midway thru the decade in question.....no drugs for me :(

[LTDunltd]

phuck! what a bunch of retards!!! can't even get a simple quote right....




it's; "if you can remember the 60's - 70's, you weren't realy there"

[xen]

i can't remember the 60's and 70's ...does that mean i was there??? :eek:

[zokah]

I was paraphrasing the quote cos it's all I remember til some time in the late 70s but I must remember the preceding decade or why else would I have an almost spritual bond with 69?

[xen]

:lol: :lol:

[color=#ff00ff]I was still a kid in the 60's, a teen in the later 70's.....I didn't care about much music when I was a kid, but my oldest sister listened to mostly Motown, so I grew up on that.[/color]
[color=#ff00ff][/color]
[color=#ff00ff]In the 70's, I was listening to R&B, soul, and a little jazz.[/color]
[color=#ff00ff][/color]
[color=#ff00ff]In the 80's....nothing but DISCO baby.[/color]
[color=#ff00ff][/color]
[color=#ff00ff]In the 90's, I was into more of the Hip Hop shit....still do like it, and Rap...YES I SAID RAP. Not the gansta rap, but just rap....gansta rap is too hardcore for my likes.[/color]

aaah...saturday afternoons....best time of the week IMHO

[zokah]

I like Sunday mornings

[Gnome]

Ahhh lazy Sundays; sitting about the backyard, sipping imperial stout and sketching.

But prolly not tommorow, we have had a snow advisory for the past few days.

Beutiful storms have been rolling through.

So I guess I'll have to sit indoors and sip IPA's and read. :hyper:

[zokah]

wtf? snow in the desert?

[Gnome]

yep, we do get snow below the 3000 foot level.

The best part about it is when there's a few inches of accumualtion, it seems everybodys driving skills drop lower than they already are.

It's a grand show.

[ORB]

[QUOTE=zokah]wtf? snow in the desert?[/QUOTE]

how did you know ???..lol

[zokah]

I didn't but I do now even though you never see it in the movies......

[Gnome]

snow in the Desert is stunningly beatiful no doubt.

Orb- you get a chance to go check the snow out at Mt. Chuck?

20 more years of snowpack and we might call the drought off :lol:

[zokah]

[Gnome]

I was down on the Strip today.

It was what we call an off-site meeting that we get to do from time to time. Lunch and a beer is often the order and we get to go to the casinos and deconstruct and reverse engineer our competitors newest dawldes.

Fuck me Rhoda there was a lot of fine ladies out today! :cool:

about 75 degrees, sunny. short dresses, shorts and the ides of March be damned! I was shotgun in a sweet little sporty convertable checkin it all out.

And I must apoligise I didn't have a camera :dry:
