This poster is signed in pencil by the artist Andrew Elias!
This is the first time we’ve offered this SIGNED original poster in our auction! It was produced for an early appearance by The Tubes at Buffalo State in October of 1975. The group had just released their debut album a couple months prior. The Tubes first big hit from that record "White Punks on Dope" was an anthem of wretched excess and ridiculed the Hollywood kids of the rich and famous in LA.
About two years later they embarked on another successful American tour which included an appearance on the Cher TV Special. They briefly returned to Europe but the trip was cut short after Fee Waybill fell off stage and broke his leg. Nevertheless the band remained a powerful force in the rock music world of the late seventies as well as through the eighties. Deadheads are aware that original Tubes member Vince Welnick later replaced Brent Mydland on keyboards in 1990.
This EARLY Tubes poster is in Museum Quality Condition and SIGNED by the artist Andrew Elias! Read our blog dated 1/20/18 where we discuss the skyrocketing demand for signed material such as this lot.
