We have only offered this beautiful CGC certifed original poster once prior! Talk about historic! The gathering at Watkins Glen in July of 1973 is one of the most memorable events in the annals of Rock history. An estimate 600 000 music fans gathered at a speedway in upstate New York for a day of unbelievable music and good times. At the time this was the largest attendance ever for a rock festival. The Grateful Dead The Band and The Allman Brothers: three of the most influential and talented electrified purveyors of the American roots music tradition took the stage for this once in a lifetime gathering.
In December 2017 a lower 8.5 graded example reached $989 in our auction. In any other collectibles market this 9.2 poster would be worth many multiples of the previously sold 8.5 example. It will be interesting to see what premium the market attaches to this superior example now!
