Submission + - Classic Rock Stars: Crazy, Stupid or just Greedy?
Bob Cat - NYMPHS writes: Love 60's music? You can listen to streamed concerts at Wolfgang's Vault — at least until the courts shut it down. Concert promoter Bill Graham recorded the Doors, the Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, CSN, &c, and stored it all away along with posters, shirts, tickets, handbills. The current owner of the trove is selling it off — how about buying an original unused ticket to Woodstock for your mom? A t-shirt from Woz's US Festival for yourself? You might think some of those bands would want to be paid for the streamed music, but no, they want a cut of the memorabilia sales. "Said Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek to The Times:
"If people are buying something because it says the Doors on it then, you know, you should give the Doors some of the money. Look, I need to pay my electric bill. I play an electric keyboard."
