Original vintage 5 x 7.5 handbill for “The Greatest Show Ever to Be Staged,” which took place at Liverpool Stadium on May 3, 1960, and featured headliner Gene Vincent and the following supporting acts: Rory Storm and the Hurricanes (with Ringo Starr on drums), Davy Jones, Nero and His Gladiators, Lance Fortune, The Viscounts, and more. 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. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks.
Originates from the collection of Johnny Byrne, guitarist of Rory Storm and the Hurricanes.
