Bill Graham Presents ─ My Life Inside Rock and Out

As a child, Bill Graham fled Europe to escape Hitler's armies. He grew up on the streets of the Bronx and in the dining rooms of the great Catskills hotels. After failing as an actor, he headed for San Francisco right before the Summer of Love where he founded the Fillmore and launched the rock icons of a generation - Janis Joplin, Otis Redding, Jefferson Airplane, Cream, the Grateful Dead, and more. He was a complex, caring, compassionate whirlwind of energy whom rock stars either loved - or hated.
In his own voice and in the voices of the people who knew him - Jerry Garcia, Keith Richards, Grace Slick, Ken Kesey, Eric Clapton, and Carlos Santana - we hear Bill's story, as well as the scoop on the major events in rock for more than three decades, ending with his tragic death in a 1991 helicopter crash. Bill Graham Presents is the inside story of the explosive and unforgettable man who created the business of rock.
