This amazing black & white pic by photographer Jim Marshall features the Beatles reunited on stage for the last time ever. ‘I was the only photographer allowed backstage. When we arrived at the stadium, the band was in an armored car following, and the old fart groundskeeper at the center field gate wouldn’t let us in – he didn’t know what was going on! So we had to drive around this pretty hardcore ghetto, Hunter’s Point, while things got straightened out, and we finally got in about 20-minutes later. – Jim Marshall. The fine art print goes for $1,800, but it’ll look awesome in your living room while you play Beatles Rock Band.

Batman is a rockstar. This rad, yellow Batman Dance and Film Festival at the Fillmore handbill dates back to 1966. When it comes to poster art, rare is best. This piece was artist Wes Wilson’s first poster for Bill Graham. It measures 6 1/2″ x 8 3/8″. It is priced at $1,850.

For $866, you can get one of five straitjackets commissioned by Bill Graham for shock-rock cult favorite Marilyn Manson. And party like it’s 1997.

The Winterland Arena back door is symbolic of countless amazing shows setup in this old ice skating rink converted into a music venue. It hosted in the sixties and seventies  the likes of Hendrix, Joplin, Morrisson, etc. According to Vault’s website: ‘Each person who walked through this door made an important and significant contribution to the legacy of rock music for ever after.’ This item is not for sale unless someone would be willing to pay $1 million to own it, with 100% of that million going straight to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, a cause close to Wolfsgang Vault’s founder heart.
