Led Zeppelin sue memorabilia site

The Doors and Grateful Dead join lawsuit

Led Zeppelin are suing rock memorabilia website Wolfgang’s Vault - claiming it is illegally selling vintage recordings and merchandise.

The rock legends are joined by , The and Carlos Santana in suing the website's owner William Sagan.

The San Francisco-based site sells material Sagan obtained after purchasing assets of concert promoter Bill Graham, who died in a helicopter crash in 1991.

According to the lawsuit, Graham’s holdings included concert posters, shirts, photographs and recordings.

In a statement Grateful Dead’s Bob Weir says: “We have never given permission for our images and material to be used in this way…What Sagan is doing in stealing. He is stealing what is most important to us - our work, our images and our music - and is profiting from the goodwill of our fans.”

Sagan has yet comment, reports Dotmusic.
