Between Rock and a Good Cause
Harvey Goldsmith, Bob Geldof, Ronnie Wood and others remember controversial rock'n'roll music promoter Bill Graham. From 2007.
From San Francisco in the 1960s to Live Aid in America, the controversial music promoter Bill Graham was a tough businessman who also staged dozens of benefit concerts, with some of the biggest names in rock.
John Wilson looks back at a career of back-stage battles and the odd on-stage punch-up, including the memories of British promoter Harvey Goldsmith, Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood and Bill Graham's friends and colleagues.
Producer John Goudie
First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in December 2007.
