Description

Concert promoter Bill Graham worked with some of the most legendary musicians of all time—Jimi Hendrix, the Grateful Dead, Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones among them—and is responsible for launching countless careers. This retrospective of Graham’s life serves to showcase his influence on rock 'n' roll through more than 300 objects such as photographs, concert posters and rock memorabilia. It’s as much a celebration of NYC’s rock history as it is of Graham’s impressive life and career.
