Cow Palace 1976

This is an ad from Bloomingdale's new Spring catalog. The ad is for the dress, but check out the poster on the wall. Its the fake ROLLING STONES Cow Palace 1976 poster.

.
The poster advertises the Stones, with THE DOOBIE BROTHERS, at San Francisco's Cow Palace on June 26th, 1976. Of course The Stones played there in 1975 (on July 15th and 16th), not in 1976.

The poster has turned up before; I've seen it for sale on eBay, and it gets a mention at ELCHAE'S VINYL LOUNGE, with a picture.
For the Bloomingdale's ad, it looks like the poster was not-so-cleverly fixed so that it doesn't really actually quite say "The Rolling Stones". Here's a closer look:

And notice the copy of "Exile On Main Street" next to the guy's head. It looks like they added a little red to it, maybe so it wouldn't be as easily recognizable:

Hello,

I have got that poster since 1982. I'm from Belgrade (Serbia), but I bought that poster somewhere in Germany, France or Italy durig summer Rolling Stones European Tour 1982. Maybe in Koln. Picture is from 1981 (Jukebox magazine front page), but text is originally from 1965.
