Offered is a massive movie theater paper banner for the 1966 concert film The Big T.N.T. Show. American International Pictures released the film that is touted on the banner as "This was the night when ALL-TIME greats of ROCK 'N ROLL•TRADITIONAL BLUES•COUNTRY WESTERN and FOLK came together for the biggest bash in the history of showbusiness!" The concert was shot before a live audience at the Moulin Rouge at 6230 Sunset Boulevard Los Angeles, California on November 29, 1965.
While poster's claim may stray towards the hyberbolic, the lineup it advertises was impressive: Ray Charles, Roger Miller, Joan Baez, Donovan, The Byrds, Petula Clark, The Lovin' Spoonful, The Ronettes, Bo Diddley, The Modern Folk Quartet and Ike and Tina Turner. Ike and Tina close the show, which was a wise choice. The concert was hosted by David McCallum from The Man From Uncle. The offered poster is an oversized artifact from a seminal period in popular music. These banners are often referred to as "drive in" banners, but they were used at all theaters. The banner measures 24 x 80 inches and presents with some scuffing and edge wear but remains bright and bold with almost all of its screen printed ink (which is very prone to chipping). Near Mint condition.
