Led Zeppelin: A concert poster for the Elecrtic Magic show, Empire Pool, Wembley,

20th November 1971,
printed on paper by Buffalo Concert Presentations in association with Peter Grant, graphics by Paper Tiger, framed and glazed, 30in x 40in (76cm x 102cm)

Footnotes

One of two shows held at London's Wembley stadium which featured circus performers, and included support acts such as Stone the Crowes. The shows themselves lasted five hours and included bizarre vaudeville circus acts with plate spinners, trapeze artists and performing pigs which were dressed in policeman's uniforms. This poster is for the first night for which nearly 10,000 tickets were sold, event-goers could pick up one of these posters for 30p. This was also the first concert tour on which the band visually projected the "four symbols" which adorned (and is a variant title for) their fourth album onto their stage equipment.

The band played at the end of a six hour circus-like evening with a 167 minute set... What the true essence of rock and roll is about. (NME, 11.71)
