1977 Beale Street Music Festival Memphis 17×24 Vintage Concert Poster Handbill
This was from the personal collection of Paul Williams who was a lifelong Memphian & Memphis music historian spanning all genres, in particular the blues band NRBQ. Paul owned AUDIOMANIA Records in Midtown Memphis, which was a local record hot-spot for 33 years. He also had his own radio show on WEVL here in Memphis and that ran for 43 years. As a younger man, he was an usher at the Warfield Theater in San Francisco during the late 70’s, when every rock-n-roll icon of the time was performing there nightly, he was even lucky enough to attend Bob Dylan’s two-week run of shows in 1979! After coming back to Memphis he worked at record Mecca, Pop Tunes, before opening Audiomania. Everything listed here from Paul, was either in his shop or in his personal collection at home. This is an authentic used Concert Poster from 1st ever Memphis Beale Street Music Festival (Memphis in May) in downtown Memphis! This is from its inaugural year of 1977, a concert series that is still going strong today! This is 17×24 made of poster paper. This is not a mint poster, please view the pictures that I have provided.
