Last year we lost one of the greatest electric guitar players of our time. Eddie Van Halen influenced an entire generation of guitarists. This poster showcases EARLY Van Halen in a small venue in 1978! And not just any small venue - the historic Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin! This original Texas poster is from the beginning of David Lee Roth’s tenure in the band. Armadillo World Headquarters posters are highly sought after and considered under valued by the advanced collectors we respect and communicate with. Indeed super clean & pinhole free examples like this one are snapped up whenever offered.
A wonderful opportunity! We've only auctioned two other examples of this Van Halen issue previously over the past 13 years. Back in 2017 a lower graded example reached $529 in our auction. Last year another example in the same condition as this one here reached $1320 in our auction! If you are looking for one of the most unique Armadillo posters that very seldom appears for collectors this is the one!
