Bill Graham

Bill Graham (January 8, 1931, Berlin, Germany — October 25, 1991, Vallejo, California, USA) was an American impresario and rock concert promoter from the 1960s until his death.

Graham had no known musical talent. His talent was to know a good band when he heard it and to promote it in concerts at one of his Fillmore venues. Along with the work of Chet Helms, the visionary Graham pioneered the concepts of concert promotion in the late 1960s- introducing acts of converging musical cultures and tastes, using artistic posters & tickets to attract audiences.
