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.
