Bob Marley was scheduled to play at the Cole Field House on September 25, 1980. The concert date before in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania turned out to be his last concert ever. Marley collapsed while jogging a few days before the Pittsburgh show and cancelled the Maryland date due to illness. Marley passed away the following spring. More than 10,000 tickets were sold and the student concert board, Student Entertainment Enterprises (SEE) thought it had financial success in its sight. After the concert was cancelled, the chairman of the SEE at the time commented, “Cole field house – there’s just something about that place that won’t let us win.”
Bob Marley flyer- University of Maryland , 1980. The show did not take place.
I worked on the concert board and gave input on the flyer design.
I kept a few flyers. This is a vintage piece, not a copy.
The piece on normal light stock paper, 8 1/2 x 14 inches. Generally in good condition.
Due to the size of the piece it needs to be mailed in an oversized envelope. I asked the Post Office people how much to Europe and they said $55 due to the size.
