Description

James Cotton Blues Band/MC 5 Grande Ballroom Concert Poster (Russ Gibb, 1967). Detroit's Grande Ballroom was to the Mid-East what the Fillmore Auditorium was to the West Coast, hosting many a great Rock show during the years promoter Russ Gibb was active. The posters produced for this venue rival those of their San Francisco contemporaries, and are generally considered much more difficult to find. This wild, Day-Go colored poster for a pair of November, 1967 shows, designed by Carl Lundgren, is certainly no exception to that rule; in fact, it's the first one we've had the privilege to auction. It's a first-printing copy measuring approximately 14" x 24.25", and is in NM- condition.
