Original 1st printing 17&1/2 x 22&1/2" concert poster for the Yardbirds (with Jimmy Page) appearing with the Steve Miller Band on 4/11/1968 and Steve Miller (again) appearing with Earth Opera (featuring David Grisman and Peter Rowan) on 4/12-13/1968, all shows held at the Boston Tea Party (53 Berkeley St location) in Boston, MA. Art by Bob Driscoll (not credited), medium-thick flat index stock poster is in excellent (B+) condition; there are a series of tiny pressure creases and a tiny edge nip along the left margin/edge (just to the left of the top "April"), a thin 1&3/4" diagonal bend in the lower right corner, a few tiny pin-prick surface spots and light fingerprint smudges, a stray soft pinch bend or two hiding within the image area and a slight discoloration/area of toning on the reverse (doesn't show through to the front), otherwise fine. AWESOME-LOOKING early-'68 Yardbirds poster from the band's final American tour. The next time Jimmy Page came back to the Tea Party (January '69), it was with Led Zeppelin.
