This extremely rare Led Zeppelin Original Handbill was produced for the group's appearance at the Portland Memorial Coliseum on March 23rd, 1970. The concert was the third stop on the band's North American Spring tour with an estimated 7,000 people in attendance. This was also the fateful tour when Jimmy Page's 1960 Gibson Les Paul Black Beauty guitar was stolen in Canada at the airport. In 2016 the guitar was finally returned to Page! The band played many tunes from their first two albums and their popularity was breaking ground in the states.
We have never auctioned an example of this scarce handbill (or the poster for that matter) before until now! This relic appeals to both the completist Zeppelin collector as well as the Pacific Northwest concert material collector. Due to their high status in the history of Rock and Roll, Led Zeppelin concert material demands some of the highest values of all. The band gained momentum very quickly so they required very little promotional activity. Do NOT let this Zeppelin treasure get away! We will likely not see another one of these handbills surface.
Condition: Paper loss top edge, creases, minor stains.
