Public Enemy Original Vintage Concert Poster, Santa Monica, Los Angeles, 1988
About the Item
A rare boxing-style screenprint concert poster for a performance by Public Enemy with Fishbone, Living Colour and Stetsasonic at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium on Saturday 17th December 1988, in support of Public Enemy's breakthrough album 'It Takes a Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back.' The rap-meets-rock concert was a somewhat unsuccessful experiment to bring together black rock bands Fishbone and Living Colour with rap acts Public Enemy and Stetsasonic. "Though pleading for 'peace and togetherness,'" reported the Los Angeles Times, [Public Enemy] "performed in the guise of a paramilitary organization backed by a five-member, uniformed and Uzi-toting drill team. And when fights broke out, tough-talking Public Enemy left the stage, after just half an hour and 3 1/2 songs." Printed by Colby Posters of Los Angeles for posting on telephone poles around the city.

A rare silkscreen concert poster for one of the first UK performances by German electronic music pioneers Kraftwerk at Johnson Hall in Yeovil, England, on Thursday 18th September 1975, with support from Somerset folk singer A.J.
