This poster is signed in black ink by the promoter the late great Jim Salzer!
Presenting the very first CGC Graded example of this issue we've ever auctioned SIGNED by the promoter of the show!
Earlier this year in March Jim Salzer passed away at age 78 suddenly and unexpectedly from complications involving a previous neck injury. His lasting legacy is well known in the industry. First as a guitarist and singer then as a rock show promoter who booked big names like the Rolling Stones Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin. He briefly managed the Doors during the early years and he frequently brought in major bands of the era to Ventura and Santa Barbara. Salzer's owned & operated record shop has been a legendary fixture for decades - and still stands today.
First Printing Earl Warren Original Posters graded by CGC are extremely hard to find and this is a classic featuring the legendary Blind Faith: Eric Clapton Steve Winwood Ginger Baker along with Delaney Bonnie & Friends which is a band Clapton also spent some time with sitting in on recording their album. This 100% Original Pre-concert first printing poster is very popular with collectors in any condition.
In October 2019 a much lower 5.0 graded example reached $900 in our auction and it wasn't signed. High Quality specimens like the poster offered here are always worth multiples of heavily damaged examples of the same issue. A fantastic opportunity to acquire this unique SIGNED treasure - unlike any of the previous issues we've auctioned before!
