Very few posters from the early years of the Allman Brothers Band exist not to mention the Duane Allman era. This gem comes from a critical period in the Bands 45+ year history. The concert was held at Hara Arena in Dayton Ohio on September 18th 1971. Just a month after this performance the band’s founder virtuoso slide guitar legend Duane Allman would be killed in a motorcycle accident on October 29th.
This original first printing poster was made just months after the release of the Allman’s incomparable live Album “At Fillmore East”. That recording which many believe to be one of the best live albums of all time would propel the band to legendary status.
We have never auctioned another example of this poster throughout our 13 year history until NOW! The likelihood of another example of this issue surfacing again anytime soon - if ever - is extremely slim to none. It's no secret among collectors that Allman Brothers concert posters are one of the hottest if not THE HOTTEST segment of the marketplace right now. In recent years we have been setting record prices with Allman's material on a consistent basis. Given the rarity and desirability of this EXTREMELY SCARCE relic we expect this piece to be no different!
