Presenting the FIRST APPEARANCE of this issue in our auction! This beautiful Led Zeppelin Original Poster was produced for the group’s 1970 appearance in Salt Lake City. The concert was the fifth stop on the band's North American Spring tour and it was a to a record sell-out audience. This was also the fateful tour when Jimmy Page's 1960 Gibson Les Paul "Black Beauty" guitar was stolen in Canada at the airport. In 2016 the guitar was finally returned to Page!
This Salt Palace poster design is by Rainbow Jam - artists Kevin Lyman and Richard Taylor. This is the sister poster to the Arizona Coliseum Zeppelin Rainbow Jam poster exhibited in the Art of Rock book on plate #4.162. The legendary Rainbow Jam performed their light wizardry at a plethora of mid-west concerts as well as for Family Dog during the late 60's & early 70's. Richard Taylor was also the Art Director for the early Tron and Star Trek movie motion pictures.
Our research indicates only 500 copies of this poster were printed prior to the concert date. This example is the FIRST we’ve offered! In 2016 a linen-backed copy described as "good condition with some restoration" sold for $1 187.50 in another public auction. This example we have here is TEAR & PINHOLE FREE and 100% Original with no restoration! It's no secret that Led Zeppelin original material like this always demands some of the highest values of all in the world of concert collectibles. This lot will prove to be no exception!
