Description

Exceedingly rare 1965 concert poster for the Beatles at Shea Stadium

Fantastic original concert poster advertising the Beatles concert held at Shea Stadium on August 15, 1965, 10.75 x 17, billing other notable shows throughout the summer for artists such as Herman's Hermits, the Dave Clark 5, The Kinks with the Moody Blues, and the First New York Folk Festival, which featured Phil Ochs, Chuck Berry, and Johnny Cash. The simple poster is printed with bold black lettering on heavyweight cardstock. Affixed to an 18 x 24 cardstock mount and in fine condition, with one light stain touching the date. Designed as generic 'throwaway' posters, these are extremely rare today. The legendary Beatles show at Shea Stadium went on to break records for attendance and revenue, and today is still considered one of the greatest concerts of all time.
