We are pleased to a offer this historic original cloth (no backing) George Harrison Backstage Pass from the Capitol Centre in Landover Maryland on December 13th 1974. This show was part of the George Harrison and Ravi Shankar 1974 North American tour which often is referred to as the "Dark Horse Tour" since the concerts served as a launch for Harrison's record label Dark Horse Records.

 

It was the first tour in the US by a former member of the Beatles since the band's 1966 visit. In the set list Harrison included four older Beatles songs: "Something" "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" "For You Blue" and "In My Life". Harrison's album Dark Horse was slightly delayed and not released until after the tour in December so much of the material played on this tour was new and fresh to everyone.

 

When speaking about how RARE this insider item relic is it should be noted that Harrison did not tour again until 1991. That's over a decade with no backstage passes produced ... so the fact is: There are not a lot of these items around!

 

This historic backstage pass measures 2 3/8" x 3 5/8".
