Original Posters from the Armadillo in Austin Texas are very difficult to located in Museum Quality Condition like the one you see here. This MONSTER COLLECTIBLE features an early Bruce Springsteen performance in 1974 and it's SIGNED by the legendary underground artist Jim Franklin!

 

March of 1974 was an era in Springsteen's career when he was consistently performing many of his most beloved songs to his first big wave of growing fans. Rosalita 4th of July Asbury Park (Sandy) and Incident on 57th Street instantly became some of the biggest E Street Band fan favorites. This incredible poster is a true testament to "The Wild the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle" material of that time. When you add an independent third party HIGH GRADE by CGC you have a blockbuster lot that is sure to command much attention! 

 

Armadillo World Headquarters posters are currently enjoying top collector demand. This can be attributed to several reasons including scarcity historical significance as ground zero in the Texas psychedelic scene and the recently published book on the venue "Armadillo World Headquarters - A Memoir" by Eddie Wilson with Jesse Sublett and forward by Dave Marsh.
