Living within a stones throw (see what I did there?) of a stone circle [The Great Rollright Stones) and a drive away from the Uffington White Horse (see XTC) I have previously featured several mentions of the wonderful two volumes of Julian Copes marvellous books (The Modern Antiquarian and The Megalithic European - thanks to my friend Geoff Swapp) on the subject and so there is this

Bob Dylan Concert Posters in the 1970s

Bob sings, smokes, and wears a succession of wild hats

RAY PADGETT AUG 16 ∙ PREVIEW

Today, the belated second entry in my decade-by-decade series about Bob Dylan concert posters. The 1960s were a wild ride, poster-wise. The 1970s, though, are more straightforward, largely because the tours were more discrete: 1974 with The Band, Rolling Thunder #1, Rolling Thunder #2, etc. 

As I did with the 1960s entry, I’ll start with the standard poster formats—the ones that Dylan’s people used for many shows—then share some favorite one-offs at the end. (Credit as always to DylanStubs, where most of these come from.)

Disclaimer: I’m using the term “poster” a little loosely. “Printed concert advertising material” is more accurate, but makes for a cumbersome headline. Working off digital images of these decades later, it can sometimes be difficult to determine whether these were posters hung up on walls, flyers handed out, or even ads in magazines or newspapers. Where I do know, I’ll say.
