This lot is part of a long-held collection of scarce, original printing posters acquired from an ex-employee of promoter John F. Leonard, who founded Records-Hawaii after moving to Honolulu in 1968. A year later he started JFL Concerts, which brought many big acts to Hawaii including: The Jacksons, Rod Stewart, Journey and Janis Joplin. Leonard's company also published Sunbums, a free bi-weekly Honolulu newspaper connecting rock music to the local entertainment industry. To save money, he often had his concert posters & advertising material produced on thin newsprint paper he had leftover from his Sunbums stock.
This rare poster announced the Elvin Bishop Band appearing at the Honolulu International Center on March 31st, 1974. Just a few months later, Bishop released his fourth studio album, "Let it Flow". Guest musicians on the record included Charlie Daniels, Dickey Betts, Toy Caldwell, Vassar Clements and Sly Stone. Capricorn was the independent record label founded by Phil Walden in Macon Georgia and launched the southern rock genre into popularity.
Condition Details: Printed on thin newsprint stock. Creases, stains.
