Sporthalle, Cologne March 1976 concert poster

Original first printing concert poster advertising Neil Young and Crazy Horse at the Sporthalle in Cologne [Germany] on Saturday, 20th March, 1976. Coming immediately on the heels of his March 1976 Japanese tour, the Cologne show was part of Young’s March/April European tour, commencing in Oslo, Norway on 15th March and ending at the Glasgow Apollo on 2nd April, 1976. Save for a few concerts in the U.K., this was Neil Young’s first full European tour as a solo artist and was primarily set up to promote the release of the Zuma album. Recorded at Broken Arrow Ranch in Redwood City under the guidance of producer David Briggs, Zuma (named after the Zuma Beach in Malibu, where Young owned a house), was released on 10th November, 1975 on Reprise Records. With the backing of a reunited Crazy Horse, Frank Sampedro replacing the late Danny Whitten, Zuma was the first album after the famed “Ditch Trilogy”, comprising the albums Time Fades Away (1973), On The Beach (1974) and Tonight’s The Night (1975), and had an overall more upbeat atmosphere, with a combination of country-tinged rock acoustics and lumbering hard-rock pieces similar in style to songs on the Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere album from 1969.

The poster measures 76.0 x 59.3 cm (approx. 30″ by 23.3″ inches) and is beautifully printed on thin, coated paper stock. There is a tiny diagonal crease to the top left corner, else in excellent unfolded condition. Feel free to email us with any questions you may have concerning this item. Additional images of the poster available on request.
