Stadthalle, Offenbach May 1978 concert poster

Original first printing concert poster advertising Irish rock group Thin Lizzy at the Stadthalle in Offenbach [Germany] on Tuesday, 9th May, 1978, in support of the Live and Dangerous double live album, produced by Tony Visconti, and released on 2nd June, 1978 on the Vertigo label. Recorded in London in 1976, and Philadelphia and Toronton in 1977, Live and Dangerous was also the last Thin Lizzy album to feature guitarist Brian Robertson, who left the band shortly after its release. The band decided to release a live album after their producer Tony Visconti did not have enough time to work on a full studio session. The group listened through various archive recordings from earlier tours and compiled the album from the best versions. Various studio overdubs were made to the live recordings during early 1978 in Paris; exactly how much of the album is overdubbed has been a contentious topic since its release. The album reached #2 on the UK Album Charts, ultimately selling over half a million copies. It has continued to attract critical acclaim and it has appeared in several lists of the greatest live albums of all time.

The poster measures 59.8 x 83.8 cm (approx. 23.5″ by 33″ inches) and is beautifully printed on thin, coated paper stock. Neatly folded twice, else in remarkably near excellent condition.
