Presenting the FIRST CGC Graded specimen of this issue to appear in our auction! This original 53 year old Yardbirds poster features great art and great photos of the band! Jimmy Page & The Yardbirds headlined at San Ramon Valley High School Stadium in July 1967 with Sir Douglas Quintet and the Loading Zone also sharing the bill. 

 

This Yardbirds concert took place the same month the band released their 4th and final album "Little Games". It was their first album recorded after becoming a quartet featuring Jimmy Page as the only lead guitarist and Chris Dreja switching to bass guitar. According to legend drummer Jim McCarty fell ill prior to this show in San Ramon and a drummer from one of the supporting bands filled in at the last minute. Very few examples of this rare original poster have appeared in public auctions over the past 10 years and none of them had world class third party certification!
