The Contemporary Jewish Museum: Bill Graham and the Rock & Roll Revolution

Comment by AB: The photographs, posters, fashion and artifacts of an era on exhibit are among the finest examples of where art and music intersect. This impressive selection of rare rock & roll memorabilia not only allows us in intimate glimpse into the life and career of legendary rock impressario Bill Graham, but also the artists and musicians he worked with as well as the times during which he lived. If you're a fan of musical history, particularly as relates to San Francisco, this is required viewing. A number of genuine rarities are on display, and plenty of other gems as well.
