Otis Redding 1967 Vanderbilt University Second-to-Last Concert Poster

This is a rare, original window card advertising Otis Redding’s penultimate live performance at Vanderbilt University’s Memorial Gym in Nashville, Tennessee, on December 8, 1967. Rendered in bold red and yellow, the poster features classic boxing-style graphics and highlights Redding’s star power as he prepared to thrill a campus crowd just two days before his tragic death. With featured hits like “Satisfaction” and “Knock on Wood” boldly listed, this card announces a landmark moment in soul music history, capturing the very end of an unforgettable era. Admission was free to students, while guests could attend for just $2, underscoring the show’s accessibility and the deep impact Redding made on live audiences. This specimen is the only known survivor discovered by collectors, measures a tad under 14" x 22", and was first offered at Heritage Auctions.
