This poster is an incredible find. Somehow this piece has survived the last 40 years in excellent shape. It is truly remarkable that this piece has been somehow saved from the landfills for so many years

The poster was for a Humble Pie concert at the Alexandria Roller Rink in Alexandria Virginia.  In Support was the 1971 incarnation for prog rock giants King Crimson (notice the misspelling of the band name). The Alexandria Roller rink was a small short lived venue in Northern Virginia the roller rink staged several  powerful acts during its brief tenure.
