From www.backstreets.com, 2-16-06:
If you've been feeling the loss of E Street Radio, be sure to check out Wolfgang's Vault, streaming online now, for free. It's not all Bruce, but you'll hear some classic early E Street Band performances interspersed with other recordings from the late promoter Bill Graham. Wolfgang was Graham's given name, and the "Vault" refers to his vast archive of memorabila and recordings that was obtained in 2003 by entrepreneur Bill Sagan (Clear Channel sold him the stash for around $5 million). Bill Graham Presents produced more than 35,000 concerts all over the world, thousands of which were taped -- these concert recordings are now being aired online. At the wolfgangsvault.com website, you'll find Vault Radio, streaming selected songs in FM quality. Three Springsteen tracks are currently in rotation -- "Thunder Road" from Winterland 12/15/78, "Blinded By the Light" and "Thundercrack" from Berkeley Community Theatre 3/2/73 -- along with live treasures from Hendrix, Van Morrison, Dylan & the Band, CCR, Zeppelin, Stevie Wonder, and many more. According to the Vault Radio FAQ, "The playlist will change in its entirety every Tuesday morning at 8:00 EST, beginning on February 21st. Each playlist will have from 80 to 100 new songs and last for between 7 and 8 hours. When the playlist ends it will start over - so each song will be played, approximately, 3 times in a 24 hour period."

Vault Radio is only the beginning of Sagan's plans for this material. According to the site, Wolfgang's Vault hopes to begin making CDs, downloads and podcasts of some of this material available in late summer/early fall.

For more about Sagan's cache, check out this MarketWatch piece, in which David Callaway writes: "During an interview with Sagan last week, he played me a clip of Bruce Springsteen singing 'Blinded by the Light' at the Berkeley Community Theater in 1973, while The Boss was playing as a warm-up act for Blood, Sweat & Tears. As the voice of a 22- or 23-year-old Springsteen belted out the famous lyrics, Sagan laughed as he told how Springsteen was only allowed to play six songs that night (this torrent actually has seven - ed.), and the announcer said 'I think he's from New Jersey' as he was introduced to the audience."
