This rare original concert poster advertised Delaney & Bonnie & Friends with Eric Clapton for a two-night run of shows at the Boston Tea Party on February 8th and 9th, 1970. This is the FIRST example of this rare poster to appear in our auction! Eric Clapton took Delaney & Bonnie and Friends on the road the year prior as the opening act for his band "Blind Faith". They became friends quickly and he would often appear on stage with them during this period. He continued to record and tour with them following Blind Faith's August 1969 breakup. The Boston Tea Party venue is one of those pockets of poster collecting that frustrate collectors and dealers alike. The print runs were minuscule so the survival rates are painfully low. The hottest pieces were absorbed into top collections decades ago and rarely come up for sale. There is no official cataloging reference material for the venue that we are aware of.
Condition: toning, paper loss, staining, tear.
