Winterland's door for a cool $1 million.


This rear door of the famed San Fran, CA Winterland saw the likes of The Band (first concert held there as The Band & The Last Waltz), Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, The Grateful Dead & many others. Winterland no longer exists (first began as an ice rink), but you could own the door through Wolfgang's Vault for $1 million. Technically, the door is not for sale, but if someone wants to offer up the dough, it's available.

The Band signed cash vouchers for auction.

Rick Danko's niece, Danielle (Bearsville, NY), not only has her uncle's vintage suit up for auction on eBay, but also three signed cash vouchers from Big Pink, Inc. to three The Band members: Rick (deceased), Richard Manuel (deceased) & Garth Hudson. Danielle is a legitimate source for such memorabilia as we have acquired a few items from her & the transactions were very successful:

Ollabelle to VT this coming wkd.

We are looking forward to travel up I-89 a bit to Tunbridge, VT to catch Ollabelle this coming Saturday @ 7 PM @ the Tunbridge Fair @ the Main Grandstand. Here is a photo we took when we caught them this past mid-July in Manchester, NH.

Amy Helm, Fiona McBain, Tony Leone, Byron Isaacs & Glen Patscha put on an amazing show. They also perform a lot of their own stage set-up & breakdown & merchandise sales. Amy & Tony do double time w/ their Levon Helm Midnight Ramble performances & many of the Ollabelle members have other side projects.

Levon Helm Midnight Ramble set list from last night.

Another great set list from last night's Levon Helm Midnight Ramble that included Robert Earle Keene & his band & Sara Watkins of Nickel Creek (who we personally love & have seen perform w/ Nickel Creek). Thanks to Helmland @ www.levonhelm.com.
