Billboard’s description is misleading, they are not selling vinyl recordings from the Bill Graham archives.

They bought his recordings library (audio and video) as well as photos/negatives/posters.

They have broadened their marketplace to include album sales (including handling used record sales).

The CDs I see also are used common market CDs (as manufactured by original companies).

They have an audio streaming subscription offer and host full concerts (for free at least at this time) on youtube.

It appears they do sell digital downloads of live concerts.

Modern music mess ping.

And it is likely that labels have negotiated commercial releases (under the labels' own brand) of material from within the "vault".

Their online concert catalog is vast, as you can see here..

I bought a few concerts from there. It never occurred to me that they didn't have the rights to sell them.

Rather odd The Dead would be suing. They used to let fans tape their shows all they wanted. Even set up a special section for them to do so.
