It's no secret that Frank Zappa enjoys a collector cult following. This ultra-rare original concert poster was produced for The Mothers appearance at the Indianapolis Fairgrounds Coliseum on October 19th, 1971. Lee Michaels was headlining and Dave LaFlamme's It's a Beautiful Day were in support. The show was part of the massive 1971 Mothers of Invention Tour, which included stops in Scranton and Harrisburg earlier in the year before the legendary Fillmore East Shows featuring Flo and Eddie. The Fillmore concerts were the zenith of the Mothers' musical comedy brilliance. Mudshark Baby! The desirability of this 100% original first printing poster cannot be overstated. This is the FIRST example we’ve ever offered in our auction!
