Wolfgangs Vault update, Plethora of Zappa and more!...
13 Nov 2006

It seems that a wave of awareness to the changes over at Wolfgang's Vault just rushed across the net and the newsgroups I lurk in this past weekend.  If you haven't heard, the site over there has been upgraded with the next phase of audio offerings that everyone that lurks here will absolutely love - full concerts, or full recordings of the samples they had originally been rotating on their Vault Radio.  It's just unreal.  Also, per the teaser article in the October 2006 Mojo Magazine, Wolfgang's vault has teamed up with The King Biscuit Flower Hour and country station Silver Eagle to offer a cross-section of their live shows too!  You have to click right over to www.wolfgangsvault.com and check it out for yourself.  They will be adding to the list of offered soundboards through the end of the year and expect the first of the Bill Graham Presents proshot videos to start showing up there in the first quarter of 2007.  The buzz around our usual haunts is really loud right now on this topic because it's all actually coming true, very fast.  I don't think there is a collector among us who thought Bill Sagan could garner this much approval to move things along this quickly.  Well done.  We'll continue this discussion as things progress over there at ole Wolfgang's Vault.  On to the bootleg news for the week that was November 7th through 13th, 2006...
