A BUNDLE OF THE PHYSICAL FRAMED POSTER AND NFT CERTIFICATE.

This framed “CLASSIC ROCK BOOK” 1981 promotional poster represents the true genesis of the BEGINNING of THE END of the acquisition process of the Led Zeppelin 1980 Chicago Stadium ticket inventory from Chicago Stadium Corporation. Because of my involvement in the creation of the Chicago classic rock radio station 95.5 FM WMET “CLASSIC ROCK BOOK” (NFT artwork of writing credits)

I was able to procure a front row center main floor ticket to prominently feature on the front cover of the book from my contact at the Chicago Stadium box office, a ticket no one had ever seen at the time b/c as it widely known, the tickets that were specially pre-printed for a mail order sale were NEVER sent out due to the tragic and untimely death of John Bonham on the very day the full page ad ran in the Chicago Tribune on September 25th 1980.

This prompted a freeze on the sale of the tickets to the 4 shows that were scheduled for Nov 10, 12 13 and 15th 1980 until the band officially disbanded on December 4th 1980 and money orders received were returned to the senders. (Wirtz return remittance)  This book and the key placement of the ticket on the front cover, which debuted at the Summer 1981 “CHICAGOFEST” held at Navy Pier on the Chicago lakefront was a major reason

I was able to secure an audience with the owner of the Chicago Stadium, Arthur M. Wirtz, later that year on November 1st 1981 (original ticket to the meeting at the Chicago Stadium-not included in sale) which was the catalyst to the chain of events that culminated the deal eventually being consummated on December 23, 1986.

The Corbis image featured on this certificate shows the iconic image of the May 6th, 1937 Hindenburg disaster that was shown on cover ofLed Zeppelin’s 1st LP. We felt this presentation fit perfectly for the 20th anniversary edition of our Led Zeppelin tickets in 2000 remembering the tragic death of John Bonham and highlighting the history of our project that commenced on the very day of his death on September 25th, 1980.

This 16×19″ framed hand signed edition would be the last of it’s type as future editions incorporated a color coded seating chart that meshed with the individual ticket location featured. The heavy stock paper was printed in 3 layers to create a “metallic” silver look under the black type verbiage.

In 1994, it was decided to demolish the Chicago Stadium as the United Center across the street was already in operation.

This 3 ticket set, limited to only 1994 pieces, was created to immortalize that sad event which truly marked the end of an era in Chicago.

I hand signed each frame which was professionally numbered and an embossed gold foil corporate seal was affixed to each. Certificate was printed on antique parchment designed around a 1939 lithograph off a postcard from that time and was one of my all timefavorites.17×21″ Frame
