Velvet Underground: 1970 Max’s Kansas City Concert Poster


From the collection of the late Velvet Underground guitarist Sterling Morrison, a rare 1970  concert poster advertising the Velvet's last shows with Lou Reed, at Max's Kansas City in New York.  These were the shows at which the band's Live At Max's Kansas City album was recorded.  Measuring 28.75" x 11", this is in very nice condition; a high level paper conservator has flattened three horizontal creases and retouched a few small stains (one small line from what looks like a pink magic marker is visible on the back.) At our request, Sterling Morrison's widow Martha has written in pencil on the back "Martha Morrison: Sterling Morrison Collection."  Our letter of authenticity will note that this was part of Morrison's legendary archive.  A classic image with incredible provenance. Buy it.
