A very rare concert poster advertising Bob Dylan’s legendary ‘Halloween Concert’ at New York City’s Philharmonic Hall on October 31, 1964.

The ‘Halloween Concert’ was released in its entirety in 2004 as the two cd set Live 1964: Bootleg Series Vol. 6.  It captures Dylan at his best, with NME’s Rob Fitzpatrick called it “utterly brilliant” rating it a 10 out of 10.  He was joined during the show by early supporter Joan Baez, who duets on three songs and sings background on one more.

This is one of only a small number of examples of this poster to have surfaced in the nearly 66 years since the concert took place.

Printed in letterpress on coarse brown kraft-type paper by Murray Poster Printing of New York City. In Near Mint condition, with very minor handling.

Archivally framed in wood to 17 7/8″ x 26 7/8″. Poster: 13 7/8″ x 21 1/2″

A unique opportunity to acquire one of the most desirable Dylan concert posters ever.  With Recordmecca’s written lifetime guarantee of authenticity.

From Wikipedia: The set list was dominated by Dylan’s protest songs, including “The Times They Are a-Changin’,” “A Hard Rain’s a-Gonna Fall”, and “The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll”. Joan Baez, a major supporter of Dylan’s in his early career, duets with Dylan on three songs, as well as singing another alone (“Silver Dagger”, to which Dylan contributes harmonica). However, Dylan performed these songs alongside early versions of three songs from the soon-to-be-recorded Bringing It All Back Home. New compositions like “It’s Alright Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)” and “Mr. Tambourine Man” showed Dylan moving in a new direction, becoming more immersed in evocative, stream-of-consciousness lyrics and moving away from social, topical songwriting. Even as he was moving in this new direction, Dylan was still portrayed as a symbol of the civil rights and anti-war movements, and the Halloween concert of 1964 caught Dylan in transition.

The album debuted on the Billboard Top 200 chart on April 17, 2004, at number 28 and spent four weeks on the chart. It also reached number 33 in the U.K.
