Commander Cody formed his country-rock band "The Lost Planet Airmen" in 1967. The group's founder was George Frayne (Commander Cody) on piano. They would take their cues less from folk-rock and bluegrass and more from the rowdy barroom country of the Ernest Tubb and Ray Price style. Cody would also from time to time sit in with the Armadillo house band Asleep at the Wheel.

 

Presenting the FIRST example of this Armadillo issue to appear in our auction! This original poster from Halloween 1974 was designed by noted Texas artist Guy Juke and it's in super clean & pinhole free condition! Armadillo concert posters are RED HOT in today's rapidly growing market! There is a published book on the venue "Armadillo World Headquarters - A Memoir" by Eddie Wilson with Jesse Sublett and forward by Dave Marsh. Read our blog dated 2/12/18 to learn more!
