A 1972 concert poster with James Brown on the bill in Cobo Arena, Detroit.

About this 1972 concert poster

Concert posters capture a moment in music history, down to the venue and the date. This poster advertised a 1972 show in Detroit. In the 1970s, rock moved into arenas and its posters became bigger, bolder and more graphic. Concert posters are often the only surviving record of a particular line-up on a particular night. Many concert posters listed several bands, capturing who shared the stage on a given night. By the 1970s, concert promotion moved to arenas and stadiums, and posters advertised ever larger shows.

Styling this vintage concert poster

For fans of James Brown, this 1972 poster from Detroit is a striking way to bring live-music history home. At 24×36″ it becomes a statement piece, while 11×14″ or 12×18″ fits shelves, desks and gallery walls. A black or antique-gold frame suits this vintage concert poster well and keeps the focus on the image. For a gallery wall, pair this vintage concert poster with two or three smaller prints, spaced 2–3 inches (5–8 cm) apart. Hang this vintage concert poster with its centre about 57 inches (145 cm) from the floor, or 8–10 inches above furniture.
