Looks similar, I've been in touch with one of the artists who reckons that could be the Neville Brothers guitarist Brian Stoltz so it could be either.

Well looking at it in person the signatures do appear to be ink rather than a print. It is on a hand painted plywood board and it does appear to be real.

I spoke to Jack Healey who organised the concert and he remembered Bill Graham getting the board signed and how happy he was to get everyone on it. That combined with its provenance of coming from Bill Graham's archive makes me think that it is definitely original. 

Do you have a link to any of the similar items John?

What's your verdict on it? I spoke to Lou Reed's guitarist from the tour yesterday and he remembers signing it. If it is indeed real what sort of value might it have? Hopefully more than I paid for it?

if real, could be quite valuable if real and seems like it might be. 

1. It's on a large painted board (who did the painting-was it mouse kelly? this could add alot of value)) that is quite displayable

2. it is a positive message re Amnesty Intl.

3 a buyer could knock off in one purchase many of their favorite artists (you need to get every signer identified-you got 15 but looks like maybe 20 more). You have a good eye as this is a very compelling piece. What did you pay for it? Those unidentified signatures could change value quite a bit

Drawbacks include the notion by many that multiple sighed items aren't that desireable. I don't know why but perhaps on some multisinged items, there are simply too many signatures and it becomes a visual mess (like some woodstock  themes signed stuff). But your item is very large and the signatures don't crowd each other or the graphics out.

Well that sounds promising! As I'm 20 and going to university in September that's very good news!

1: I'm not sure who painted the board, however the design is Amnesty's logo so I am unsure if they would get an artist such as Mouse Kelly to paint it, but it's worth researching.

2: Very true!

3: I'm in the process of identifying more, most are band members of Lou Reed and Bryan Adams touring bands. I'm seeing Fela Kuti's son Seun in concert soon and I'm hoping he may be able to give confirmation on his father's signature which I believe is quite rare?

I paid about half as much as I did for the Rolls Royce hood if that helps!

It's a bit of a paradox with multisigned items I agree, they have higher value in some senses but continuity can be lost.
