ROLLING STONES PEARL JAM 1997 OAKLAND CONCERT POSTER LITHOGRAPH PASS GUITAR PICK

Description: *** THE HOLY GRAIL OF THE BRIDGES TO BABYLON - BILL GRAHAM - OAKLAND 1998 PRINTS *** THE ROLLING STONES / PEARL JAM 1997 OAKLAND STADIUM CONCERT POSTER / LITHOGRAPH - BACKSTAGE PASS / TOUR LAMINATE AND STAGE USED KEITH RICHARDS GUITAR PICK USED ON NOVEMBER 19, 1998! THIS PASS WAS WORN BY MY GIRLFRIEND AT THE TIME (I HAD MY TOUR ISSUED LAMINATE ALREADY) SHE WAS ABLE TO MEET KEITH PRIOR TO THE SHOW ONSTAGE AND HE HANDED HER THIS PICK. THIS PRINT IS AN ORIGINAL 'PROOF PRINT' AND OBTAINED DIRECTLY FROM A DEAR FRIEND OF MINE WORKING DIRECTLY WITH ROLLING STONES ON THE BRIDGES TO BABYLON TOUR! THIS WAS NOT FOR SALE (however there are original prints and re-prints that were produced for sale) THIS WAS OF A HANDFUL DIRECTLY FROM THE PRINTING COMPANY. Extremely rare set of items! I have held off framing this amazing piece of history because you will want to take numerous photos and perhaps video prior to framing for authentication purposes. There are SO MANY original prints and of course re-prints of this poster that you absolutely want to document your investment prior to framing. OAKLAND STADIUM - NOVEMBER 14 - 15 - 18 - 19 - 1998 BGP180TNA USA & BILL GRAHAM PRESENTS ILLUSTRATION: RANDEL CHAVEZTYPE DESIGN: JONATHAN HESSART DIRECTION: PETER BARSOTTI & ARLENE OWSEICHIKPRINTING: KENNEDY-TEN BOSCH S.F. Yes... this is indeed an ORIGINAL from the printing company on very heavy poster stock Yes... it is 100% authentic. Yes... I did work on the tour. Yes... the measurements are 24 1/4 x 30 1/8 - These are the measurements of the actual pre-print run original that was presented to band management for approval prior to the full run of posters released that measured 24 1/4 x 30 1/4 when put side by side with an original first pressing the differences are minor but definitely noticeable... the length of the poster is off by an eighth of an inch and the poster stock is noticeably heavier. There are a few edge dings and wrinkles and some minor wear however will frame out beautifully and to find a pre-print proof in such incredible condition... better than this - ridiculously impossible. Finding one of these in the wild is incredibly rare and was told there were only 10 of them created prior to the full run! Here is your opportunity to own a real gem! Good Luck! IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE AUTHENTIC ORIGINAL RELEASES MAKE SURE THE SELLER ASSURES YOU OF THE MEASUREMENTS! THE FIRST PRESSINGS ARE 24 1/4 x 30 1/4. THIS PRINT IS THE HOLY GRAIL OF THE BILL GRAHAM - OAKLAND COLISEUM NOVEMBER 1998 SHOWS! ABOUT ME: I have worked in the live / touring music business since 1986... over 34 years now. In that time I have amassed a collection of items like none other and am now offering a small portion of my items to the public. What you are bidding on is an item that is as real as it gets (unlike a lot of what I see online). If you are looking to purchase something authentic - here is your chance. It will pass any authentication process you wish and is as rare as it gets. If you are looking for a bargain, perhaps this item is not for you. My items are extremely rare and worth every bit of what I am asking. I try and provide as much information as possible regarding each item and most everything I have I have actual dates and venues they were signed. I went so far as to literally catalog everything I collected at a particular concert that evening or following day of the event, going so far as to keep an actual journal for over 30 years with meticulous notes. I look forward to finding good homes for these pieces... It breaks my heart to sell them but I must part with some of them as I have literally run out of storage and refuse to rent a larger unit. All of these items have been stored in a temperature-controlled storage facility and the framed items were custom framed by a professional framing company to museum quality standards using Acid Free materials and UV / Museum protective glass. Shipping charges cover all packing materials including shipping with tracking and insurance for the full purchase price. Every effort is made to ensure your item gets to you in perfect condition with extreme precautions taken using bubble wrap and proper shipping boxes used. The insurance / tracking numbers are provided immediately after shipping in the extremely rare event any damage should occur in transit. Thank you for your interest.... It's been a lifelong passion of mine preserving these items and the kind words and appreciation mean the world to me.
