    ORIGINAL 1963 BOB DYLAN
    SYRACUSE CONCERT POSTER
    presented by CORE
    at the University Regent Theatre
    on November 3, 1963
    Early Bob Dylan posters are some of the most sought-after pieces in the hobby, as well as being some of the rarest.
    This concert took place on November 3, 1963 at the University Regent Theatre in Syracuse, New York.
    On October 24, 1963 Bob Dylan had just written
    "Times They Are A-Changin' "
    so it is quite possible that Dylan may have sung it for the first time at this concert.
    The show was produced by the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) and it is one of only a few pieces that tie Dylan with the Civil Rights movement
    while reflecting on his own songwriting during this early folk era.
    . Just weeks after this concert on November 22, 1963 John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
    The concert was presented by The Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), and it exhibits a direct connection between Dylan and the Civil Rights movement,
    Bob Dylan is the greatest lyrical wordsmith of the past 100 years, and his recently awarded Nobel Prize was well deserved. Dylan's historical importance is second to none and this has literally turned the few surviving concert posters from early in his career into gold. On the rare occasion that an original specimen from Dylan surfaces on the marketplace, collectors across the globe stand up and take notice. These classic rarities usually trade hands very privately and very quietly, making this lot an opportunity that may not present itself again for a very long time.
    This poster is considered by many to be a "holy grail" and one of the best-looking and most important of the early Dylan pieces. Very few exist in any condition.
    Pete Howard of PosterCentral has an excellent video blog about this exact poster.  Pete actually goes into great detail about the infamous "white worms on Dylan's ear" which is another factual difference, besides the original size of 14" x 20",  in distinguishing that this is the original poster and not a bootlegged copy.
