Zep 4 Life Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 (edited) So here is the poster I just got from my neighbor. I think its awesome, but the dates are throwing me off. 1968? isn't that ealry for Zep? Was this a real show, or some random fake poster?

Bong-Man Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Obviously a fake. Not only did Zep not tour the U.S. until early '69, the picture didn't exist either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dawg Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 (edited) It may be possible to get a dragon suit poster from the 70's and allow Robert to get back to England for his Wedding and gig he played following Wedding on Nov. 9th but I doubt it's real. It seems as though they did not tour the US until 1969 and were still billed under the New Yardbirds. Check out the poster from Oct 25 1969. Correction: They have dates in the US in December. http://www.ledzeppelin.com/event/december-26-1968 Edited November 23, 2010 by Black Dawg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The posters that usually use this design are a dime a dozen and 9 times out of 10 have incorrect information which immediately gives them away as counterfeit.

Henrik Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 As other have pointed out Z4L, that poster is fake. The dead giveaway is that the picture is from 1977. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 It's a fake, or to put it more kindly a "commemorative" or "souviner" Led Zeppelin item. The actual dates were November 6-7-8 1969. Black Dawg - That New Yardbirds poster is from Oct 25, 1968. It is authentic and was sold at auction a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should produce one with a '69 date and pawn it some poor schmuck as genuine commerative authentic collectors edition reproduction.

Jahfin Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Just noticed the "Billy Graham" part in the subject line. Now, that's a hoot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
