This is a gorgeous original pre-concert first print poster for a set of shows in October 1969 by Joe Cocker and his Grease Band, Little Richard, and the Move.  Cocker is just two months removed from his epic Woodstock performance.  Little Richard, one of the original rock and roll performers, was enjoying some newfound popularity among the hippies.  And British band, the Move, who were super popular in the UK but never found traction this side of the Atlantic.  The Move was led by guitarist Roy Wood, who along with Move members Bev Bevan and Jeff Lynne, would go on to form the immensely successful Electric Light Orchestra (bka ELO).

This great design is a collaboration between the two most prolific “second wave” rock artists, David Singer and Randy Tuten.  Singer would contribute the center imagery while Tuten would pen the remarkable lettering.

Condition is NR.MT to MINT!
