Incredible Led Zeppelin Early Signed Original 1970 Iceland Concert Poster and Ticket.
Led Zeppelin band members have signed this small 8 x 11 original concert poster for a concert in Reykjavik, Iceland in 1970 in blue ink. Signatures include: Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Bonham and John Paul Jones. An fantastic early artifact from the original line-up of one of rock and roll's most important bands. John Bonham, regarded as one of the greatest and most influential drummers in history, died at the young age of 32. His death was pronounced an accident, but he had been drinking very heavily at the time. The poster is accompanied by an original ticket to the concert. John Bonham's signature is deemed to be secretarial
This concert took place only two years after the band was formed in London. Led Zeppelin have been credited as significantly impacting the nature of the music industry, particularly in the development of album-oriented rock (AOR) and stadium rock. One of the best-selling music artists of all time; their total record sales are estimated to be between 200 and 300 million units worldwide. They achieved eight consecutive UK number-one albums and six number-one albums on the US Billboard 200, with five of their albums certified Diamond in the US by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Rolling Stone magazine described them as "the heaviest band of all time", "the biggest band of the Seventies", and "unquestionably one of the most enduring bands in rock history". They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995; the museum's biography of the band states that they were "as influential" during the 1970s as the Beatles were during the 1960s.
