    Some of rock 'n' roll's biggest players, including Led Zeppelin, the Grateful Dead and Carlos Santana, are suing a website that offers thousands of recordings of rare audio and video music performances.

    The artists say Wolfgang's Vault, owned by William Sagan, is illegally offering the recordings in order to lure consumers to buy other products available on the site.

    In November, the site began streaming hundreds of clips filmed and collected by concert promoter Bill Graham over a 30-year period.

    Graham, born Wolfgang Grajonca, died in 1991. He was considered a pioneer in modern concert promotion.

    Sagan bought Graham's assets for $5 million US from Clear Channel Entertainment more than three years ago.

    "Sagan simply doesn't have the legal rights to exploit and profit from the extraordinary success of these musicians," lawyer Jeff Reeves, who represents the artists, told the Los Angeles Times. Members of Led Zeppelin and the Doors are also involved in the suit.
