First Printing of the Beatles Last Concert Poster -- Scarce

This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 9/29/2022

First printing of the Beatles last concert poster, promoting their show at Candlestick Park in San Francisco on 29 August 1966. This would be the very last performance of the Beatles before their rooftop concert in 1969. This first printing is one of only 300 produced - intended for display at area retailers in advance of the event, with intact examples considerably fewer. Window card poster on cardboard measures exactly 17.125'' x 24.0625'' as called for, with union bug at lower right next to ''litho by West Coast Lithograph Co.'' in pale yellow. Encased and graded 3.5 by CGC, noting some color restoration and tape on verso. Despite flaws, poster is fully intact with strong visual impact.
