Glossy 10.5x22.25" stiff paper poster for "The Last Chord" concert features a design by Mark Arminski incorporating a mythological character, animal skulls, a trio of horses and the male gender sign. This design is repeated on the included 4x8.75" handbill. The show was appropriately headlined by Patti Smith, who is often called the "Godmother of Punk." Supporting artists included Lenny Kaye, Jay Dee Daugherty and Tony Shanahan. Both are NM.
