What you have is a poster printed for a co-promotion with radio station KACE. In every market the circus arranges for promotional tie-ins with local media.

This show premiered in Venice, Florida in January 1972 and was in California in August 1972. You can confirm this by looking at a 1972 calendar and seeing that the days and dates match (Thursday was on August 10). The other poster is for the 100th Anniversary RBBB Show. That show premiered in Venice, Florida in January 1970 and was in California in July of that year. Larry Kellogg Jill,

They look like silkscreens. They are about 3' x 10'(yes feet)They are in near mint condition. I believe they are from the 1970's. Some of them have "The Los Angeles Forum" but several do not. What do I have? Best Regards, Jill Hello Larry,
