This original poster was created for Commander Cody appearing at the Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin, Texas for two nights in February 1975. It was designed by the late Austin poster artist Ken Featherston. Ken was a major figure in the history of Armadillo World Headquarters and met his tragic end by mistakenly being shot to death at the venue at the age of 23 in 1975, the same year that these shows occurred.  

 

The Armadillo World Headquarters opened in Austin just after the closing of the Vulcan Gas Company. It went on to become the premiere venue in that musically rich city from 1970-1980. This legendary club offered an incredibly eclectic range of performers in its 10-year tenure. The posters from these shows represent one of the greatest collections of poster art available anywhere.  

 

Condition: Pinholes, handling, edge tears, stains, crease top left.
