Description

Eddie Cochran is listed on the handbill as he had initially been booked to play at the concert, but he was tragically killed in a road accident on April 17, 1960. The Beatles and also their future manager Brian Epstein were in the audience at this concert. In very good to fine condition, with a central horizontal fold, and creasing to the lower right corner.
