From the Star Wars Poster Book: The notorious Star Wars Concert Poster has been laden with misconceptions and mystery ever since it was produced in 1978. Common lore has it that this poster was available to purchase for one night only at the Hollywood Bowl premiere of a Star Wars concert series. However, that concert where Zubin Mehta conducted the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, took place on November 20, 1977, almost a full year before the poster was printed in October 1978. During the run of the tour, a handful of various posters were commissioned to advertise each specific venue. However, when the management of the series changed hands in the spring of 1978, it was deemed appropriate to unify the series under a single key illustration, which was the impetus for this classic artwork art directed by Suzy Rice and illustrated by John Alvin. But it isn't clear that these posters were ever available to the public. Therefore, they are rare and highly desirable.
