The vibrant red-and-yellow poster features large, bold text and a very popular central image of Marley with adjacent banners designed by Randy Tuten, who signs below in pencil. In fine condition.

Marley played Oakland on consecutive nights in late May 1976 as part of the Rastaman Vibration Tour, which began its North American leg in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania on April 23rd and concluded in Natchez, Mississippi on June 3rd, a highly successful run of 27 shows that complemented the impressive album sales of Rastaman Vibration; the record peaked at number eight on the Billboard 200 chart, the first Bob Marley release to reach the top 10, and it featured Marley's most popular US single 'Roots, Rock, Reggae,' the only Marley single to reach the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
