Description

The Yardbirds w/Jimmy Page 1968 Boston Tea Party Concert Poster. An original concert poster, printed before the shows to sell tickets, for the Yardbirds and the Steve Miller Band appearing at the Boston Tea Party in Boston, Massachusetts on Thursday night, April 11, 1968. The Yardbirds then moved on, so on Friday and Saturday nights, April 12 & 13, Steve Miller headlined, supported by Earth Opera.

Features compelling graphics with that hand-scrawled font and the young woman's unusual posing. According to bahrgallery.com, her name was Kathy Spencer, and she was a student at the Museum School (at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston). The artist was Bob Driscoll. Measures 17 1/2" x 22 1/2" and grades to Mint condition. From the David Swartz Concert Poster Collection. COA from Heritage Auctions.
