This is the FIRST example of this original cardboard poster we've ever auctioned! It was produced for the late great Leonard Cohen and his appearance at The Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles on June 9th 1985. The concert was under the direction of Bill Graham as stated at the bottom of the poster. On this tour Cohen was supporting the release of his new album "Various Positions" with the biggest tour of his career.
