'Jerry Weintraub Presents...' Exhibit Coming To The GRAMMY Museum

Facebook Twitter Email
The exhibit honoring the famed artist manager and concert promoter will open on Aug. 15 and run through early Dec. 2019

One of the key players behind the most memorable concert tours of the 1970s, Jerry Weintraub recognized the potential for great artists to play for larger audiences and to create one-of-a-kind events.

Now, the GRAMMY Museum, with support from the Weintraub Family Foundation, is honoring the music industry vet with an exhibit called Jerry Weintraub Presents…

As an artist manager and concert promoter, Weintraub famously worked with artists such as Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, John Denver, The Carpenters, Neil Diamond, Bob Dylan, Rick James, Beach Boys, Led Zeppelin, Bad Company, The Commodores, the Bee Gees, The Moody Blues, The Eagles, Eric Clapton, Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney.

To showcase Weintraub's business acumen, moxie, and sense of showmanship during his decades focusing on artist management and concert promotion, the exhibit will showcase original items from Weintraub's most notable tours, including personalized jackets, tour documents, contracts, and more.

Opening on Aug. 15 and running through early Dec 2019, the exhibit will kick off with Jerry's son, Michael Weintraub, Bob Finkelstein (Former President of Management 3 and Concerts West and Co-Chairman of Frank Sinatra Enterprises), John Meglen (Co-CEO Concerts West), Claire Rothman (General Manager and Vice President of the Forum), Sims Hinds (Tour promoter for John Denver, Neil Diamond, The Eagles and The Beach Boys) and Peter Jackson (Tour Management for The Moody Blues and Eric Clapton) discussing the stories behind the exhibit in a panel moderated by music industry analyst and critic, Bob Lefsetz, at the Clive Davis Theater.

"Jerry was one of the greats, and he had clout," said Diamond, who has previously had his own GRAMMY Museum exhibit. "After I had taken a hiatus from the music business for four years in the early 1970s, he used that clout as a manager and concert promoter to bring me back into the homes and hearts of my audience via concerts and TV specials. He was great at what he did and he gave me the courage to take on new challenges. It's fitting that the GRAMMY Museum is recognizing him in this way."

Peter Grant, Led Zeppelin's longtime manager, once said, "We take this for granted now, but Weintraub's ability to organize these massive concerts made show business history." 

Jerry Weintraub Presents… will offer an inside look at how Weintraub, his management company, Management 3 and his partners at Concerts West, forever changed the concert business by taking the presentation of music to a never-before-seen size and scale. Until 1970, the business of presenting concerts was in the hands of regional promoters working in clubs and theaters.

Beginning with Elvis Presley’s 1970 tour, Weintraub's impact on the concert business allowed audiences to experience music in-person on a grander scale. He moved his artists in to large arenas, sports stadiums and other venues never before used for music tours.  

"Jerry Weintraub was a prolific force in the music industry, conceptualizing and creating the arena tours and large-scale concerts that we know and take for granted today," said Michael Sticka, GRAMMY Museum Executive Director. "As a music museum, we look to recognize not just the artists, but those working hard behind the scenes to make art accessible to the public. Many thanks to Jane Weintraub and The Weintraub Family Foundation for letting us feature items from this important moment in music history."

GRAMMY Museum Members can RSVP for free tickets starting July 25 at 10:30 a.m. PST, and tickets will go on sale to the general public at www.grammymuseum.org starting July 27 at noon PST.

The GRAMMY Museum today (Feb. 4) announced a new "Live From The Vault" series in partnership with Iron Mountain Entertainment Services (IMES), a division of Iron Mountain Incorporated, the storage and information management services company. Since 2008, the GRAMMY Museum has curated more than 80 exhibits, hosted more than 1,000 programs and captured more than 2,000 hours of archived video footage. As the Official Preservation Partner of the GRAMMY Museum, IMES has stored the Museum's most prized physical artifacts in a climate-controlled vault and will now store, manage and distribute its video archives using Iron Mountain's secure digital content repository technology platform.

The GRAMMY Museum and IMES will curate specific archived videos as part of a new series, "Live From The Vault," which takes fans inside the vaults of some of the Museum's most iconic programs, showcasing rarely seen footage. Mavis Staples will be the first artist featured from her 2010 program in the Museum's Clive Davis Theater, released starting today on the Museum's official streaming service, COLLECTION:live, with free access to all viewers. To further increase accessibility, the Museum will utilize Iron Mountain's Content Localization Services (CLaaS) system to transcribe the Museum's archives into other target languages, including subtitles.

"As we've seen in the past year, it's vital for museums to increase their digital presence and the GRAMMY Museum has been doing just that," GRAMMY Museum President Michael Sticka said in a statement. "We're thrilled to partner with IMES for our new 'Live From The Vault' series to preserve these important recordings and moments in music history from our archives."

This series will also include a previously recorded program with Ringo Starr, which will be released on March 4 on COLLECTION:live. Additional artists and special programming will be announced soon.

"Our mission is to help our customers protect and activate their archives," Lance Podell, Senior Vice President and General Manager, IMES at Iron Mountain, said. "Our long relationship with the GRAMMY Museum is rooted in this shared dedication to preserve musical history. We're proud to be the Museum's Official Preservation Partner to help safeguard their diverse treasure trove and propel it into the streaming age, featuring dynamic artist interviews and performances. We're excited about sponsoring the 'Live From The Vault' series and its debut episode with musical pioneer Mavis Staples—what a privilege it is to hear in her own words how her upbringing and social justice convictions inspired her music."
