It's no secret that Frank Zappa enjoys a collector cult following. It’s also well known that material from the Pacific Northwest is highly sought after and increasingly hard to find. This ultra-rare original concert poster was produced for Frank Zappa’s appearance at the Paramount Theater in Seattle on December 17th, 1984. This show was part of the 2nd leg of his late 1984 North American Tour.

 

Zappa was consecutively on tour for almost 6 months that year. The tour opened in Los Angeles with six consecutive gigs, starting from July 17th. On September 7th in Brussels he opened the European tour that ended up with three consecutive gigs in Rome in mid-October. Then he was back again in America, starting from October 25th in Worcester and ending two months later in Los Angeles. The desirability of this 100% original first printing poster cannot be overstated. This is the FIRST example we’ve ever offered in our auction!
