<p>I had some of the same thoughts. It isn’t anywhere near as shakey, but the J and H look really similar to some of the others. I think the context is important too. With the flyer and everything it seems possible it’s from a show in 1963/64. The guy only played out for around 3 years, so it could be this is from earlier in that stretch, when he was theoretically more rested. It could also be that he just learned to write better in those three years, and it’s from later in his career. Still a…</p>

<p>Those look to 'clean' - not shaky - I would suspect them as not authentic - but I would still treasure the whole package - what a find. Could be real - maybe it was before a performance or when he was younger. They do seem to conform to the right shapes of the letters.</p>

<p>Saved this from the trash at a used book store. Was never able to verify, but looking at this compared to the others, I think it’s legit. Came with this flyer and a glossy photo I framed. </p>

<p>Tacoma, thanks for your response! They certainly do look similar and interesting it’s the same lp. <br/><br/></p>
<p>Happy Listening,</p>

<p>The signature is authentic imho. Shown below is one of many signed pieces I have from him in my collection. My piece is signed only a few months earlier in 1966 and matches yours very closely.</p>

<p>Stumbled on this site trying to confirm this signature of John Jackson’s is legit and get a sense for how rare it is (rough value). Bought the lp and another by him at a yard sale a few years back. A buck a piece! Was excited about playing it at first and missed the signature altogether. Looks like the other signatures of his I’ve seen. Also, was bought in Maryland less than an hour from Fairfax Station from where the album was I believe recorded and he lived the same year it’s dated.…</p>

<p>Did you not read the text associated with the Antoines poster? I was there. Me, a girlfriend and a buddy. We were literally about half of the crowd. Antoines had just reopened in a new (and incredibly hard to find warehouse place because of new road construction). I had a table right in front of the stage. At the break Albert and another band member sat with us and I bought us all drinks and snacks. I had recently come into about $800 and was trying to spend it all (this was the late 70's…</p>
<p>Did you not read the text associated with the Antoines poster? I was there. Me, a girlfriend and a buddy. We were literally about half of the crowd. Antoines had just reopened in a new (and incredibly hard to find warehouse place because of new road construction). I had a table right in front of the stage. At the break Albert and another band member sat with us and I bought us all drinks and snacks. I had recently come into about $800 and was trying to spend it all (this was the late 70's remember). He signed two posters for us, in FRONT OF ME. I gave one to the girlfriend (can't even REMEMBER HER name now, laughably - I was more thrilled to be sitting there with the King). I sat next to him years later in Little Rock at a jazz club watching Pharoah Sanders destroy his sax. At the same table again. So STFU. I only got posters or things GIVEN to me because I'm not a hound like you - mine were rewards for good deeds or presents of appreciation. That's why I only have a few - including some letters from famous writers, a few politicians (I was John Andersons Austin Texas campaign director in 1980) and things like that. Therefore they aren't on the market. And I'm not interested in buying any others either - lol - they don't mean anything to me. Why clutter your life with crap like that. I suppose if it reminds you of a great concert then that's one thing. I do have ticket stubs - (INCLUDING the one from Antoines - ya wanna SEE it? lol) - so yeah - things like that are ok - and if ALL of your 308 posters were signed in front of you then you have things that remind you of those events. I would LOVE to have a decently made video of Emerson, Lake and Palmer from 1973 - but it seems like NO band had ANY decent video made prior to about 1980. Wasn't there ANY decent video technology then? Oooops - end rant. Still - ya kinda pissed me off there bro.</p> I guess the whole 308 posters…tag:live.autographmagazine.com,2020-03-08:3524372:Comment:14459162020-03-08T18:18:25.151ZKEEMAYA KEEMAYAhttps://live.autographmagazine.com/profile/KEEMAYAKEEMAYA
