This poster is signed in pencil by the artist Gary Grimshaw!
This is the first time we’ve offered this SIGNED original poster in our auction! Arena rock legends Journey are featured on this 1978 lineup with the Patti Smith Group supporting. This concert in Lansing celebrates the two powerhouse artists in the heat of their prime – with coinciding events launching their careers and climbing upwards into musical history forever! The poster was designed by renowned Detroit Artist Gary Grimshaw.
In late 1977 Journey hired Steve Perry as their new lead singer and released their album “Infinity” a year later which contained their hit song "Wheel in the Sky". Patti Smith suffered a neck injury while touring in 1977 and a year later released her commercial breakthrough “Easter” including the successful single "Because the Night" which was co-written by Bruce Springsteen. This concert is part of her tour in support of that record. Read our blog dated 1/20/18 where we discuss the skyrocketing demand for signed material such as this lot.
