| This Original Pre-Concert FIRST Printing Poster has just emerged from a recently unearthed and long held collection of Tula concert posters we are offering in this auction! This poster was designed by artist Brian Thompson to promote Rare Earth's 1982 appearance at Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa Oklahoma. In the early days of Cain’s Ballroom the venue showcased Western Swing Music. Purchased by investor Larry Shaeffer in 1976 and reopened in 1977 Cain’s was revamped to house new rock music. Punk Icons The Sex Pistols performed a legendary show there 40 years ago on January 11th and the concert inspired local Tulsa youths to form punk bands. Concert posters from Cain's Ballroom are Cult Classics and are extremely rare and sought after with advanced collectors. We constantly receive requests for these with no way of meeting demand. This is an Original First Print issue that is 100% authentic with no restoration of any kind. Super rare and desirable as such!
