Um, Led Zep were the Yardbirds in ‘66

Fleetwood Mac didn’t exist in 1966, Clapton was in Cream…

Fleetwood Mac didn’t exist in 1966, either. Nor would Clapton have been billed solo. Would Hendrix even have been billed solo at that point?

led zeppelin didn’t exist either.

1968

There’s no venue for the Dylan show.

Hendrix would have been billed solo, but i think he was still in england at this point. I have no idea if the 2 ever shared a bill, but i don’t think they did. That would mean that there wasn’t a Jimi at the show, (The Bob show that day was in Norfolk, VA) no Led Zep, no Solo Clapton, No Feetwood Mac.

Was Dylan touring the UK at that point? ‘Cause the Hendrix Experience didn’t come stateside until Monterey Pop and that was ‘67 I think. And I don’t think that Hendrix would’ve been billed solo as of yet. Good point, The Luke

The Led Zep poster is billed as ‘68. But the picture on the poster is from way later. I think the picture is from ‘77 as Jimmy’s wearing the white dragon suit.

The Zep poster is billed as ‘68. But the picture is from ‘77, I think. Jimmy didn’t wear the white dragon suit until ‘77.

Clapton was playing with John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers and then formed cream in mid-1966

Led Zeppelin were the Yardbirds in 1966

Fleetwood Mac formed in 1967

In february of 1966 Hendrix was touring as part of Jimmy James and The Blue Flames, and did not create the experience until the fall

By 1966 Dylan had left behind the woody guthrie image, grown the white afro, gone electric and was recording Blonde on Blonde in Nashville

Zeppelin played Winterland in the same dates listed, 6-7-8th, but in 1969, not 1968 as listed.

None of those bands played together in one show.

i agree with the GhostofTomWaits except for his last point. An old picture is not necessarily a mistake and dylan did tour in ‘66. It just wouldn’t have been billed as a solo show as he was with the Hawks, the Band or whatever they called themselves back then (maybe the Paul Butterfield blues band).

“Zeppelin” is misspelled. Any stoner worth his weight in feathered roach clips knows it spelled “Zepplin.”

Wow…Fleetwood Mac and Led Zeppelin didn’t even exist in 1966, and Hendrix was in Europe for most of that year.

That is just embarassing, especially since none of those people really played together.

The color pink was not invented until 1968.

None of those artist’s were famous yet (Claptoon was in Cream)

That pick is from 4 years prior to the show

No venue

bob dylan was coloured

The pic is about five years too old. Neither Led Zeppelin not Fleetwood Mac had formed yet. Neither Eric Clapton nor Jimi Hendrix had gone solo yet.

Francisco Franco was still alive, but ot touring.

where the hell is bob dylan playing. kinda hard to see a fake concert if you don’t even know the venue.
Fleetwood Mac and Zep hadn’t formed yet.
Clapton was just about ready to form Cream.
Hendrix was over in England and if he had played he would have been billed as The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

The color yellow wasn’t created until December 1970 during Dylan’s Tour of Pakistan

Actually if I’m not mistaken that was the correct line up for Dylan’s 1972 Middle East Tour

Actually if I’m not mistaken that was the correct line up for Dylan’s 1972 Middle East Tour

EASY RIDER WASN’T RELEASED UNTIL 1969!! THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER MADE.

you are absolutely correct

Dylan would have been in Nashville recording Blonde on Blonde and not on tour with bands that did not exist yet???

Bob Dylan was recording Blonde on Blonde in Nashville, TN on the date listed and not touring with bands that didn’t exist yet.

Bob Dylan was recording Blonde on Blonde in Nashville, TN on the date listed and not touring with bands that didn’t exist yet.

Clapton was with either the yardbirds or cream zeppelin was in the yardbirds or performing as studio artists fleetwood mac was formed in 1967 and jimi hendrix was playing in greenwhich village also the photo of dylan is fake

Tito Jackson played the cow bell on Dylan’s ‘66 tour before he was injured in a motorcycle accident.

you guys have way too much time on your ahnds music was invented until 1990 or later. They didn’t advertise for noise back then.

Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerds!

fleetwood mac didn’t exist, clapton wasn’t solo, zeppelin wasn’t formed… dylan wasn’t touring i think either…

the picture of led zep in that poster looks like it was from the knebworth concerts in 1979.

I’m guessing that Zep poster is from 1977, when Page wore the white thing. That doesn’t look like what Plant wore at Knebworth, either.

and i’m pretty sure that dylan photo’s a few years older than 1966. he looks like he’s 19!

Beeeeeaaaaarrrrds!!!!!

the photo is fake. the bands mentioned are still in the making. clapton has not gone solo. bob is not touring and probably recording an album somewhere and getting high in the process.

The Smiths break-up was yet to come.

1. The venue info is missing.
2. The location and time info is missing.
3. Led Zep formed in 1968.
4. Fleetwood Mac formed in 1967.
5. Bob Dylan’s photo appears to be pre-1966 (non-current for that time period).

zeppelin were NOT the fucking yardbirds.page and john paul jones were in the studio playing on records by herman’s hermits,tom jones,and lulu.plant and bonham were in birmingham trying to become famous!

The incredible thing about the Dylan pic in that poster–and this only goes to show how innovative Dylan was and just how much territory he covered in a decade–is that its a picture of Dylan from 1962, only 4 years before he put on the sunglasses, grew his hair out into a shaggy dog look and started wearing polka-dot shirts and leather jackets. And I won’t even start talking about the other permutations he made in the last 4 years of the 60s.

Wasn’t the Bonzo Dog Band signed to Track Records in the late 60’s?
So why would they be playing with Zeppelin, who were signed to Atlantic?
I could believe the Bonzo Dog Band opening for the Who, though.

Also, both posters have the years printed on them. That is always a sign of a fake, because real concert posters were intended to be used only once.

“Also, both posters have the years printed on them. That is always a sign of a fake, because real concert posters were intended to be used only once.”

Cara, concert posters usually do have the dates and years printed on them, because they “are” used only once. It further authenticates collectors’ item posters of their worth and value.

It do not think Led Zeppelin and Fleetwood mac were already formed at that time. I also believe that Dylan already went elecrical by that time, he was in nashville for recordings and the picture doesn’t fit the timeframe. So that makes three. Hendrix wasn’t famous at that thime and Clapton wasn’t solo. Thats about it..

Bob didn’t have support acts in ‘66.

The most important thing to realize is that the people who made these posters (and the people who buy them) know that they are not real. They buy them for the cool names and pictures. Nobody got ripped off, and nobody is a moron for buying them. Who cares if they’re accurate. It’s cooler in many ways that they’re not accurate…

Yeah, the timeframe on the picture being off doesen’t make it fake…I got a Dylan tour poster in the fall, and the pic was from the 80’s.

But yeah, no Zep, no Fleetwood, Clapton wasn’t solo, Jimi wasn’t solo, and Dylan was recording (not 100% on this one.)

The picture of Bob Dylan is from around 1962 when he first signed on with columbia. Most of Bob’s current tour posters do have date, venue, & time since each is slightly different at each show. Bob was playing in Norfolk, Va that day.

Here is the five…
) In 1966 Led Zeppelin didn’t exist. In fact, I’m even sure that Jimmy Page had even joined the Yardbirds yet. Anybody know what Plant, Jones, and Bonham were doing in 1966?

2) In 1966 Eric Clapton was a member of Cream, so it’s unlikely that he would have played anywhere under his own name yet. He did briefly form a group called “Eric Clapton’s Powerhouse” with Steve Winwood and others, but it’s not clear that he ever played any gigs under that name.

3) In 1966 Jimi Hendrix certainly was starting to make a name for himself in England, but he wouldn’t become a significant concert attraction in the US until after the Monterey Pop Festival in the summer of 1967. Anyway, he didn’t bill himself as “Jimi Hendrix”. It was always “The Jimi Hendrix Experience” until the breakup of that band.

4) In 1966 Fleetwood Mac didn’t exist. Founder Peter Green was still a member of John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, along with (at various times) Mick Fleetwood and John McVie. Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac didn’t make their live debut until sometime in 1967. I don’t believe they even appeared in the US until 1969.

5) Ironically, the only one who could have actually played this venue was Bob Dylan, but he didn’t. On February 13, 1966 he played in Norfolk, Virginia.

yeah, zep didn’t make their U.S. concert debut until December 26 of that year. and that anonymous guy needs to chill out. they actually did play a few shows as “the new yardbirds.”

Jean-Paul, There’s no doubt that Dylan is an absoulute genius. But you can’t give him all the land and all the territory. Dylan went electric because he liked the Beatles. And If you don’t remember and I don’t remember either (thank God for documentaries), you’ll know that Dylan fell flat on his ass doing it. But it did give birth to THE BAND who I don’t have an opinion about.

Dylan did not fall flat on his ass. I assume you’re referring to Newport and most likely the equipment there was not prepared to handle an electric band (nor was the audience)…Electric Dylan has given us some of the greatest rock ‘n roll songs of all time.

Sorry Mr. Anonymous, but YOU’RE. Wrong! Hardcore Dylan fans HATED the electric thing. Dylan didn’t make electric happpen until he went into THE STUDIO,cut some great songs and proved that he could pull it off!

No Mr. Butterfly – you’re wrong. Hardcore folk fans had a problem with the plugging in. The Dylan fans, maybe skeptical at first, were fine. And he had already been in the studio the first time he played live (Bringing It was relased before Newport).

And FURTHERMORE: it’s become pretty well established that any booing was not the result of poor song-writing but rather close-minded, self-righteous folksters. Eventually, they fell on their asses.

I’ve added my name because that’s only right.

Newport,Newport, does anybody got a light? On Dylan, you and I will have to agree to disagree. LED Zeppelin were called The New Yardbirds. And that you can’t argue.

all credit to john howell

Great stuff, Mr Howell. Excellent. Sincerely, The New Yardbirds

as for what made Dylan switch to electric music; i believe it was Dylan who credited the animals’ version of “House of the Rising Sun” that he heard on the radio while on the road some where in middle -america

Bob Dylan was actually opening up for the Captain and Tenille at Six Flags over Mid-America

Van Halen had actually opened that show and not Fleetwood Mac. In fact, Fleetwood Mac was known as RATT in 1966.

Concert posters do not list the year. Everyone knows what year they are in.

Re: Dave | 7/19/2007, 7:52 pm EST

“Concert posters do not list the year. Everyone knows what year they are in.”

I know that some concert posters, particulary ones which are limited edition, have the years printed on them. Pearl Jam for example does a unique custom poster design for each of their concert dates, which include the location, date and year. These posters are limited edition prints, which are often sought after by collectors. One of the few bands which actually still does this. You don’t see that very often anymore, because most other concert merchandise is so mass-produced. It would be cool if more bands cared enough to actually take the time to be that custom-driven.

Led Zeppelin and Fleetwood Mac did not exist in 1966….Led Zeppelin came out with thier first album in 1968 and Fleetwood Mac did not come out until the mid 70’s…..thats what wrong with the poster…im not bad for being 14 huh?

Jimi hendrix and bob dylan only met once, maybe twice and that was after jimi returned from england. He 100% never played with him and to jimi misforture and great sadness never got to jam with him.
live on Hendrix1!!!

I went to a 2 day outdoor concert in England – 1967 – Woburn – Duke of Bedford’s Estate. I remember laughing that it was being called a flower show….not the sort of flower show the Duke might have been expecting. I remember seeing the Animals, and an announcement was made about the death of the Beatles manager. Anyone have any info about this concert?
