Description

Backstage signatures including show-stoppers McCartney, Mercury, and Bono

A fantastic collection of signatures of several Live Aid participants, acquired backstage at Wembley Stadium on July 13, 1985, all inside a softcover 3.5 x 7 day planner. Signers include: Paul McCartney, Freddie Mercury, Bono, Phil Collins, Bob Geldof, Sting, and Howard Jones. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from a friend of the original recipient which states: “These autographs were obtained backstage at Wembley Stadium on 13th July 1985 by a friend of mine whose company had the cleaning contract…to clean the back area including dressing rooms.” Also included are a full letter of authenticity from Roger Epperson/REAL and a certificate of authenticity from Tracks for the McCartney signature. In fine condition, with some pages partially detached. A one-of-a-kind collection from arguably the greatest one-off concert of all time. RR Auction COA.
