Led Zeppelin, Doors members sue concert video site By Yinka Adegoke (Reuters)
Some of rock 'n' roll's biggest names have teamed up to sue the owner of a Web site that specializes in streaming rare concert recordings. Wolfgang's Vault offers thousands of recordings of rare audio and video music performances collected over 30 years by Bill Graham, a famous concert promoter who died in 1991. On Monday, major rock names including Grateful Dead Productions, Carlos Santana and members of Led Zeppelin and The Doors, sued the current owner, claiming it was illegally offering recordings to stimulate sales of other products.
Wolfgang's Vault representatives were not immediately available for comment. The site, wolfgangsvault.com, also sells T-shirts, pictures and memorabilia such as vintage concert posters and tickets. The recordings were made at concert performances by a wide array of artists from Bob Marley to Bob Dylan. The site's collection has been described by some industry watchers as one of the most important groupings of rock memorabilia and recordings ever assembled in one business. - complete article - previous posting
