Item Description
After two performances at the O'Keefe Centre in Toronto Ontario, Canada on Nov. 2, Led Zeppelin had a rare night off before this Nov. 4 gig in Kitchener, Ontario where they played to a little over 2,000 fans in the 8,000-capacity venue that had recently seen a packed house for the likes of Diana Ross and the Supremes. Before the band could even do a soundcheck the troubles began when the Canadian tax authorities came to collect on the previous nights gate. While that was being sorted out, the local opening band Copperpenny found a case of beer in a dressing room and proceeded to drink up until Zepp roadies arrived telling them "That's Zeppelin's Beer!" Technical difficulties caused Zepp's set to be a short 45minutes, but attendees demanded more tunes from the English quartet who came back out to close with an Eddy Cochrane tune. Co-founding member of Copperpenny, Rich Wamil, was childhood friends with the sound and lightning tech for this gig, where this poster originated. To our knowledge this is the only surviving example produced before the show for promotion and remained in the collection of the sound tech since the show. It is the exact example listed on the Led Zeppelin website and comes with a letter of authentication from the original owner's brother and a Hake's COA.
DETAILS: 10.75x13.75" on textured cardstock. Design features the large dirigible synonyms with the legendary hard rock group at top center with headline "Led Zeppelin Concert" and additional text of note below "& The Copper Penny Tuesday Nov. 4, 1969 8P.M. Kitchener Memorial Auditorium" with a list of ticket prices and locations. Scattered faint light brown staining in left center field and a horizontal crease through center. Scattered vertical wrinkling and light folds from moderate handling. A surface paper lift at top center on reverse that does not affect front. VG. Free of restoration remaining in as found condition. An important poster from the band's artistic height occurring a mere 12 days after the release of Led Zeppelin 2.
