| Presenting the FIRST CGC Graded example to appear in our auction! This Original silver-foil Poster is often requested by collectors. Artist David Byrd created this poster to promote The Who performing their rock opera "Tommy" at the Metropolitan Opera House Lincoln Center in New York. The "Tommy" fall tour started the year prior including their performance at Woodstock in August. This caused their popularity in the United States to increase drastically. This June 1970 date (two shows) would be one of the last runs the group would play in small US venues of this size. It would only be a few years later the group was playing concerts in very large stadiums. A cool poster for The Who's rock masterpiece at a legendary New York venue!
