Original 1st printing 15 x 22&1/2" cardboard boxing-style concert poster for Neil Young appearing at Winnipeg (Centennial) Concert Hall on 1/13/1971.
Printed by Washington Poster Co., extra-thick cardboard stock silkscreen poster has been professionally restored to excellent (B+) condition; a number of surface issues have been repaired (tape pulls/stains, surface residue removed), and there remain a few tiny surface scratches/soft scuffs/tiny pin-prick stains here and there, along with a subtle amount of toning to the board, corner-tip bumps and a light tape pull on the reverse side, but the end result is nothing short of FANTASTIC... a quality fix-up, all around.
Without a doubt, this has to be just about the COOLEST Neil Young concert item I have handled, as well as being the first and ONLY example I have ever come across in 27+ years. The show was a homecoming of sorts, as Neil lived in Winnipeg for a good part of his teenage years (and where he formed his first bands); check out a very well-researched history of Neil's Winnipeg years HERE;
