Description

Pink Floyd 1977 Oakland, CA Concert Poster Signed by Randy Tuten, Graded 9.8 (AOR-4.47). An original first-printing concert poster for Pink Floyd appearing at the Oakland Coliseum on Monday & Tuesday nights, May 9 & 10, 1977. This poster's image, created by Randy Tuten and William Bostedt, has gained iconic status over the years, easily one of the most popular BG posters of the 1970's. This specimen has been signed by Tuten and subsequently graded sky-high 9.8 Near Mint/Mint by CGC (the Certified Guaranty Company).

This was also known as Floyd's "In the Flesh" tour. Flying pigs have since become an indelible image for the band, and this poster depicts one beautifully, floating above the clouds & fog of San Francisco Bay. 1977 found Floyd on tour supporting Animals, which also depicted a flying pig in a sky of clouds (above a power station). That LP went on to sell 12 million units worldwide. This marks the first time Heritage has ever had the pleasure of offering a graded copy of this masterwork for sale. Measures 19 1/2" x 28" and grades to 9.8 Near Mint/Mint condition. From the David Swartz Concert Poster Collection. COA from Heritage Auctions.
