Bob Neuwirth's wooden name plaque from the 1975–76 Rolling Thunder Revue concert tour with Bob Dylan, measuring 30˝ x 6˝, featuring his name neatly carved in an italicized script: "Bob Neuwirth." Reverse bears the maker's label: "Ol' Salty's Quarterboards…Barnstable (Cape Cod), Massachusetts." The plaque was presumably used to identify his dressing room during the first segment of the tour, which was split into two legs: the autumn tour of the northeast kicked off on Cape Cod, with Dylan and his band rehearsing at the Seacrest Motel in Falmouth on October 29, 1975. They played their first show in Plymouth, Massachusetts on October 30th, and ended the concert series at NYC's Madison Square Garden on December 8, 1975. The spring leg started in Lakeland, Florida on April 18, 1976, and concluded in Salt Lake City, Utah on May 25, 1976. Bridging the two legs was a benefit show for Rubin 'Hurricane' Carter at the Houston Astrodome on January 25, 1976. In very good to fine condition, with its four eyelet mounting points intact.
The majority of auction proceeds from the Neuwirth archives will support the completion of 'Untitled: Bob Neuwirth Project' documentary, exploring the life of music and art creative catalyst, Bob Neuwirth.
