Original 1st printing 23&1/8 x 34&3/8" concert poster for the Who performing their rock opera "Tommy" at the Fillmore East in New York, NY from 10/20-25/1969. Art by David Edward Byrd, image is featured in the Art of Rock book on page 158 (plate 2.94) and is image # 10 in the Bill Graham/Fillmore East series. Medium-thin glossy stock poster is in excellent (B+) condition; there are a number of tiny edge tears scattered along the left/right margins, a few stray handling dings/tiny stress bends hiding within the image area, a soft bend just above the "e" of "The Who" and a bit of blue ink spread in the upper/lower right corners, otherwise fine. REALLY nice-looking example of this oft-requested Who poster from the fondly-remembered Fall 1969 "Tommy" shows. These were the first shows where the band performed the ENTIRE suite of songs for U.S. audiences.
