No stranger to holding premier cultural events throughout its history as well as hosting some of music’s greatest acts including The Beatles in 1964 and Led Zeppelin in 1970, the Montreal Forum was the venue for the “The Biggest Show of Stars for 1960”, according to the rare offered advertising poster. Featuring headliner Frankie Avalon, the “One Show Only” Jan 22nd performance also starred notable early rock acts Bobby Rydell, Freddy Cannon and Johnny and the Hurricanes, along with R&B/doo-wop acts The Clovers, Clyde McPhatter, The Crests and others. At 17” x 22 ½”, “The Forum” appears along the top, with “Printed in USA” along the bottom right. The colours remain especially bright and vibrant on the scarce poster, with just some toning the only visible concern. Attractively framed to full dimensions of 23 ¼” x 29”, we can’t imagine many surviving examples that remain in this desirable and displayable condition.
