Description

Vibrant original handbill, 5.25 x 11.5, promoting a concert featuring the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Cat Stevens, Engelbert Humperdinck, and the headline Walker Brothers at the De Montfort Hall in Leicester, England, on April 16, 1967. The handbill features ‘floating head’ images of the musicians and retains its postal booking form to the bottom. In fine condition, with a central horizontal fold. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks.

Buried behind the chart-topping Walker Brothers, Cat Stevens, and Engelbert Humperdinck, the Jimi Hendrix Experience received modest billing at the start of the tour. By year's end they were one of the most sought-after tickets in live music, soaring high off the successful debut of Are You Experienced and their now-legendary performance at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival.
