All 3 of these handbills are signed in black ink by the artist Randy Tuten!
This is the complete set of all 3 original handbills created by artist Randy Tuten for the 1977 “Mid Summer Music Festival” concert schedule. Spanning 3 months the list of performers covers appearances at several historic and legendary venues like The Cow Palace Oakland Coliseum Greek Theater and Winterland Arena. The concerts were all presented by Bill Graham. Notable is the bottom left of each handbill which advertises the legendary “Day on the Green #6 & #7” Led Zeppelin shows at Oakland Stadium. (We have previously auctioned the famous poster!) These dates were some of the most infamous in the history of this powerhouse band. According to accounts members of Led Zeppelin's crew beat the crap out of a member of Bill Graham's staff in retaliation for a backstage incident involving a crew members' son. These concerts were to be the last US Led Zeppelin Concerts ever staged.... Serious "Rock and Roll" history contained in these handbills! The third one indicates Zeppelin as “Sold Out”. The list of other performers on these treasures is also quite impressive and all three handbills are SIGNED by the artist!
