What a MONSTER poster! One of the finest concert posters we’ve seen pass through our doors in months. Renowned pacific northwest poster artist John Moehring designed this absolutely BEAUTIFUL Jeff Beck original concert poster from the Seattle Center Arena on April 3rd 1969.
This incredible piece has everything going for it and exhibits more colorful eye candy than the average bear. It was printed on TEXTURED PAPER giving it an almost bumpy pebbled appearance. This is certainly one of the sweetest creations Moehring ever produced. The artist has been widely recognized as one of the top designers of concert material during this era in Seattle and Portland. The works of art he created for Boyd Grafmyre Productions between 1967-1969 are legendary and highly sought after by collectors.
Electric guitar master Jeff Beck was joined by blues wizard John Mayall and the mighty Deep Purple on much of this northwest tour during the spring of 1969. This poster from the Center Arena is the first and only example we’ve ever offered in our auction!
Our records show one other example sold in another auction 2 years ago in lesser condition categorized as “Very Fine. Light handling and a couple of very light corner creases. Displays some old spray adhesive residue and four light paper pulls on the back.” That example brought $1550.
In any other collectibles market this higher quality condition poster would be worth many multiples of the previously sold lesser condition example. It will be interesting to see what premium the market attaches to this superior example now. Do NOT let this special piece get away!
