| This poster is signed in ink by the artist John Van Hamersveld! The embossed "Royal Albert Hall" stamp along the bottom center red edge area distinguishes this example to be an original pre-concert first printing poster. 500 were signed and numbered and some were just signed by the artist like this one here. In 2005 Cream reunited at the request of Eric Clapton for a series of shows at The Royal Albert Hall. Fittingly this was the same venue where the band had played their final shows in 1968. The trio played four nights three of which would go on to be turned into a live album. This poster was designed by John Van Hamersveld the most commercially accomplished artist of the era. Van Hamersveld is famous for the legendary Endless Summer movie poster the 360 ft mural he designed for the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles the blockbuster album covers for “Magical Mystery Tour” “Exile on Main Street” and “Skeletons in the Closet” the famous Hendrix Shrine concert poster and many other classic pieces of art.
