AC/DC (With Bon Scott) 1978 Sheffield, England Concert Poster. A vivid red, orange & white concert poster for AC/DC playing at Phoenix Hall on the campus of Sheffield City Polytechnic's Students' Union on Saturday evening, November 4, 1978. The poster features a dynamic caricature of the band's lead guitarist Angus Young in his trademark schoolboy outfit, with smoke and sparks blowing out of his electric guitar. It's a terrific graphic for this rare one-off poster, and the only one we've ever seen, so certainly a first-time HA offering.

The explosive Australian quintet was on tour behind their newly released third album, If You Want Blood You've Got It on Atlantic Records. This is the earliest version of the band with Bon Scott on lead vocals, who would sadly pass away about 15 months later. Anything that pre-dates 1979's Highway to Hell for AC/DC is a special and scarce piece, because they just didn't have the massive following yet. Throw in these terrific action graphics and it's a special poster that fans will surely be clamoring for.

Poster measures 20" x 30" and grades to Very Good Plus condition. COA from Heritage Auctions.
