Yes! We are extremely proud to offer this scarce Frank Zappa poster for the FIRST time in our auction! This super Rare Zappa poster featured the Mothers with Captain Beefheart! Due to financial reasons in 1969 Zappa disbanded the Mothers of Invention lineup and released his acclaimed solo album "Hot Rats". In early 1970 he formed a new version of the Mothers which also added three members of The Turtles. They toured extensively that summer including this concert at the San Antonio Municipal Auditorium. Soonafter the new version of the Mothers debuted on Zappa's next solo album "Chunga's Revenge" released four months later.
This eye appealing Texas poster is from an era when Austin was still gestating to become the music town it would be later on so San Antonio was consistently getting a heavy dose of amazing live music. We have never seen this super rare Frank Zappa original poster at any public auction until now!
