This lot consists of two vintage Peter, Paul & Mary cardboard window cards from New York City's famous Carnegie Hall in the 1960's, using the same popular tour-blank template the group used throughout the decade. First up is the one with red print in the venue box, for Friday night, September 18, 1964. The other poster, with black print, advertised a pair of gigs, on Friday and Saturday nights, March 24 & 25, 1967. Both posters measure 13 1/4" x 21 1/2". The 1964 board grades to Very Good condition, and the 1967 one to Near Mint. From the Archives of Charlie Rothschild. COA from Heritage Auctions.

More Information: Charlie Rothschild is a music manager with a career that spanned decades. In his early career, Charlie booked musical acts at Gerde's Folk City in Greenwich Village, most notably Bob Dylan in September 1961, Dylan's first paid gig in New York City. He went on to work for renowned manager Albert Grossman (Dylan, Peter, Paul & Mary, Janis Joplin). As a manager, touring manager and concert promoter himself, Charlie worked alongside folk and rock 'n' roll greats Bob Dylan, the Velvet Underground, Gordon Lightfoot, Judy Collins, Peter, Paul & Mary, Allen Ginsberg, Ian & Sylvia, The Clancy Brothers, Odetta, The Fugs and Pearls Before Swine, among others. Charlie also ran the storied 1960's New York City music venue Balloon Farm, before going out on his own in 1972.

Condition details: The September 18 poster has a piece missing in the upper right corner. The lower right corner is also pretty dinged & creased. The board's right edge was dinged a couple of times along the singer's photo. There is some light scuffing across the poster at about the chin & mouth level. General toning to the venue box. (The little black line at bottom center is a printer's hash mark, not damage.) The March 24-25 poster is clean.
