1977 "Lynyrd Skynyrd" & "Ted Nugent" live concert advertisement...

Item # 728849 ·
LOS ANGELES TIMES, July 17, 1977 (an original vintage newspaper leaf from the Calendar section)  This offering consists of four complete pages (two double-sided sheets on one single leaf) featuring a collectible print advertisement for a upcoming live performances by "LYNYRD SKYNYRD" & "TED NUGENT" at Anaheim Stadium on one of the four pages.

This was Lynyrd Skynyrd's last live, filmed performance prior to the airplane crash.

In addition to the feature concert ad, which captures the era's unique promotional graphic design and typography, the surrounding pages provide a fascinating cultural snapshot of late 20th-century entertainment. Printed on authentic aged newsprint with genuine vintage toning, this original leaf is not a modern reprint, making it an ideal candidate for custom framing, local history display, or inclusion in a dedicated rock or pop culture memorabilia collection.

Experience music history in the making with authentic, original newspaper advertisements capturing the opening-night premieres of legendary live concert performances, sourced straight from the entertainment capital of the world.

Background: The August 27, 1977 mega-concert at Anaheim Stadium drew 57,000 fans for a iconic lineup featuring co-headliners Ted Nugent—then at the height of his fame following Cat Scratch Fever—and Lynyrd Skynyrd, alongside supporting acts REO Speedwagon, Foreigner, and Rex. What elevates this day-long festival into rock history is that it served as the final live concert ever filmed of the original Lynyrd Skynyrd lineup before the tragic plane crash just 54 days later on October 20, 1977. Captured on vibrant Super 8 color film during a Pepsi-sponsored shoot, footage of frontman Ronnie Van Zant and the band blazing through hits like "Free Bird" and "Sweet Home Alabama" became a permanent visual memorial to the original group, even making its way onto movie screens nationwide in 1978 ahead of theatrical screenings of Grease.
