Schlitz Salute to Jazz Ticket 1968 Oakland Coliseum Vtg 1st Sponsored Tour/Fest

Description

Incredible full unused ticket for the July 27th Oakland concert during the first sponsored music tour in history. In 1968 the legendary George Wein, who created the first all jazz fest in 1954 (Newport Jazz Fest) among others, pioneered the concept of sponsorship association with music events. This preceded any other tour or entertainment that had a sponsor, so it’s historically significant. Beautiful piece with fantastic eye appeal.
