Eagles & Procol Harum 1972 Concert Poster Rochester NY War Memorial Auditorium

Procol Harum & Eagles 1972 Poster | Rochester New York Vintage Concert Art

A fascinating piece of early 1970s rock history, this vintage concert handbill advertises Procol Harum and the Eagles appearing together at the War Memorial Auditorium in Rochester, New York, on Tuesday, July 11, 1972.

Presented by WKDA-FM and Tomco Productions, the wonderfully simple design features illustrated portraits of Procol Harum across the upper section, with the band’s distinctive logo positioned beneath them. The Eagles appear below, represented by an early group photograph.

What makes this concert particularly interesting is its date. 1972 was the year the Eagles released their debut album, placing this performance right at the beginning of the band’s recording career and years before they became one of the defining American rock groups of the decade. Sharing the bill with established British rock band Procol Harum makes the handbill an intriguing snapshot of two very different musical careers intersecting.

The original advertisement lists an 8 P.M. performance, with tickets priced at just $4.50 in advance and $5.00 at the door. It even warns potential concertgoers that there were only 2,500 seats available.

Unlike the colourful psychedelic concert posters of the late 1960s, this piece uses a restrained cream-and-black presentation that gives it the appearance of a genuine period handbill or locally printed concert announcement.
