Legion of Mary was one of the earliest incarnations of the Jerry Garcia Band. This is a very cool very rare 44 year old original poster for the “Legion of Mary” from their 2 night run at the classic Austin Texas venue Armadillo World Headquarters. Best of all it's in unimprovable museum quality condition!
The core members of the group Jerry Garcia Merl Saunders and John Kahn had been performing together since 1971. New members included Martin Fierro on saxophone and flute and Elvis Presley drummer Ron Tutt. The group played together until the late summer of 1975 after which the Jerry Garcia Band became Garcia’s main performing group when the Grateful Dead were off the road.
This poster has just emerged from a recently unearthed and long held collection of Texas posters. Armadillo HQ concert posters are red hot in today's marketplace with the appreciation for their rarity and historical importance growing more each day. A recently published book on the venue has further ignited interest.
Combining this legendary venue with the incomparable Jerry Garcia makes for a concert poster of extreme desirability. We may not see this issue surface again for a very long time. If you collect Austin posters act now! Read our blog dated 2/12/18 to find out why material from this famous music venue is skyrocketing in popularity. In August 2017 a similar condition example reached $529 in our auction.
