Poster for Run-DMC’s 1986 Raising Hell Tour at the Oakland Coliseum

Oakland, California, 1986. 18 x 25 inch poster on heavy cardstock. Fine.. Poster for Run-DMC’S Raising Hell Tour featuring Whodini, LL Cool J, and R&B group Timex Social Club. Run-DMC were touring on their third studio album, Raising Hell, which went triple platinum. Later tour dates, including New York City, Pittsburgh, and Long Beach, were disrupted by alleged gang violence, causing Run-DMC to cancel at least one date. Nonetheless, the album and tour are variously credited with kicking off the so-called golden age of hip-hop and cementing the genre in popular culture, making the careers of LL Cool J and the Beastie Boys (who did not play at this particular date), and reviving the career of Aerosmith.
