Avid Collector Announces His Search For Original 1963 Bob Dylan Townhall in New York City Boxing Style Concert Posters
SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB) April 02, 2019 -- Avid concert poster collector, Andrew Hawley from Vintage Rock Posters, announces his search for original 1963 Bob Dylan Townhall in New York City concert posters. After playing in coffee shops for years, this was Dylan’s first concert at a major venue in New York City. The concert was held on April 12. According to Hawley, “The Townhall opened in 1921 to educate the people of New York about important issues of the day. Back then it was women's suffrage. Over the years it became an arts center attracting the top talent from around the United States. In the 1960s, it was natural for the Townhall to host Bob Dylan, who at that time was gaining fame as the poetic voice of his generation. His songs Blowin’ in the Wind and A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall were already hits. Dylan knew this was a big opportunity for him to play the Townhall. He played 21 songs with many being originals. With the release of his second album The Times They Are A-Changin’ he became one of America’s top singer/songwriters and a troubadour of the 1960s protest movement.”
Hawley adds,"The Dylan boxing style poster was designed by Vanguard Record's Jules Halfant and measures approximately 15 x 22 inches. It was printed locally on thick cardboard. The poster is black and white with a striking picture of the artist on the left hand side. The right side of the layout features many different quotes and compliments given to Dylan by the local press. About 50 posters were printed and hung in local coffee shops around Manhattan. An 8 x 10 inch concert handbill with the same layout was also printed and distributed."

Any condition would be accepted. Please call 310-346-1965 or email aandrew (at) vintageconcertposterbuyer.com.
