Inside the Warner Brothers/Atlantic Records music vault in Burbank, CA

Just a small look at this hidden vault in an industrial section of Burbank, CA.  All the greatest artists that ever recorded for the labels have their master tapes in there (at least the ones not burned in fires or lost, etc.).  An amazing separate gated area inside the already gated area just to hold all the Grateful Dead master tapes.
