Led Zeppelin Sought-after ‘blimp-free’ Led Zeppelin poster for their 1969 California Irvine show
4137. Led Zeppelin 1969 Crawford Hall Poster. Scarce original color
12 x 19 poster for a Led Zeppelin concert at the University of California Irvine’s Crawford Hall on May 1, 1969. Designed by Chris Boulton, the psychedelic poster depicts the band with capillary wave-like patterns rippling out from each of their foreheads, making for a terrifically kaleidoscopic effect. Stylized text to upper portion reads, “Led Zeppelin, Lee Michaels, Thursday May 1, 8:00 P. M., U. C. Irvine, Crawford Hall,” with the lower border featuring ticket information. The upper border is stamped: “The Groove Co.” Professionally backed and expertly restored to fine condition. The consignor notes that this poster was obtained after the show. This bright and highly displayable concert poster was the band’s last to not include the appearance of a dirigible, the first showing of which occurred the next night in a poster for their show in Pasadena; the Zeppelin blimp then became a staple in nearly all future promotional materials. Starting Bid $1000
