San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) June 4, 2008 -- 1968, known as The Year That Changed The World, is celebrated in sight and sound on Wolfgang's Vault on its 40th anniversary in the website "where live music lives."

The world famous Concert Vault is filled with concert recordings that can be streamed free, including:

B.B. King at The Fillmore Auditorium, June 6, 1968

While its imagery and depth of meaning and message are often debated, the importance of the famous "Flying Eyeball" as the seminal work of western US psychedelic art is unrefuted, and is currently celebrating its own 40 years of history.

Enter "1968" within the site search of Wolfgang's Vault today, and you will find a virtual time capsule with photographs of a young George Harrison taken by Baron Wolman alongside a photo of Janis Joplin taken by Jim Marshall, and a campaign photo of Robert F. Kennedy taken in San Francisco's Union Square by photographer Gene Anthony. These and hundreds of others rock posters, t-shirts, photos and memorabilia items give you a snapshot of 1968. Take a moment to relive 1968 inside Wolfgang's Vault today.
