Here is an original poster created for the legendary 1970's stoner comedy team Cheech & Chong. The performance was held at the Portland Civic Auditorium in Oregon on June 29th 1974. There was also a much larger version of this poster produced to promote the gig printed with a different color however this smaller version is guaranteed original printed prior to the 1974 performance. We have recently noticed a surge in demand from collectors for original Cheech & Chong material. The vintage example you see here is the FIRST of this issue we've ever offered in our auction. The Portland Tribune caught up with Martin for an interview by phone from his home in Pacific Palisades California:

 

Tribune: How much time have you spent in Oregon over the years?

 

Cheech: "Quite a bit. We've played just about every place you could play in the state. I have relatives — of the millennial age — who are living outside of Portland. I like it up there."
