Here we have the very FIRST CGC Graded example of this Original Poster to appear in our auction!


This poster is one of David Singer's most beautiful works of art advertising one of The Who's historic performances. According to legend at this stop on The Who’s 1973 Quadrophenia tour drummer Keith Moon was allegedly so high that he was unable to play through all of the sets. The band played a few songs without a drummer then Pete Townsend asked for a drummer from the audience. Then nineteen-year-old drummer Scott Halpin embraced the opportunity of a lifetime and joined the Who onstage for several songs. 


Finally during early spring of this year we began receiving larger double-sized posters certified by CGC like the one in this lot and we couldn’t be happier to share this new collectibles market breakthrough with you!
