Bob Dylan & the Hawks 1966 White Plains, N.Y. Concert Poster. An original, vintage Bob Dylan window card from when he was changing the face of popular music by splitting his concerts into two halves: folk music and barnstorming rock & roll. This cardboard poster shows Dylan with just his famous harmonica in its holder (along with cigarette) and simply states all the information necessary for customers to know: Venue, city, day and date, ticket prices and where to buy them. In this case, the show scheduled was the Westchester County Center in White Plains, New York on Saturday night, February 5, 1966.

How significant is this poster? England's revered Mojo magazine once voted this months-long trek the greatest tour in Rock & Roll history. Dylan was single-handedly changing the course of popular music in 1965-66 by retaining his solo-acoustic roots for the first half of each show, but then blowing the audience away with loud, raucous rock & roll in the second half, often greeted with boos by folk purists. His backing band for the electric half consisted of Robbie Robertson on electric guitar, Rick Danko on bass, Richard Manuel on piano, Garth Hudson on organ and the little-known Sandy Konikoff on drums (Levon Helm had left the tour months earlier).

Measures 13 7/8" x 22" and grades to Very Good condition. From the Archives of Charlie Rothschild. COA from Heritage Auctions.
