This rare, original poster advertised Jethro Tull and Sha-Na-Na playing at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago on June 5th, 1970. The design was created by one of the greatest illustrators of the 20th century, Jay Lynch. Jay was one of the great American satirists. He was perhaps best known for his contribution to the underground comix movement of the 1960s, but the scope and influence of his work reached far beyond that. Jay Lynch was a colleague of the more famous R. Crumb and collaborated with Crumb when he was editor of the underground comix series "Bijou Funnies".
Lynch did a huge amount of work for the Topps trading card company. He was the creative force behind the Wacky Packages and Garbage Pail Kids sticker series. At Topps he worked closely with other top cartoonists like Art Speigelman, Kim Dietch, Drew Friedman & John Pound. His mainstream work also included contributions to Mad and Playboy Magazine, as well as countless underground papers and humor publications. Very few of these rare concert posters remain today!
