The original/first print poster measures 19 3/4" x 28 1/2".  The background  color of this poster is not a true black.  It has a noticeably grayish/blue tint to it.  The lettering at the bottom right is a medium red (as is the outer edge of the oval that surrounds the concert dates and venue).  There are two "strips" that run diagonally into the venue information from the inner image of the poster.  On this poster, the original, they are mostly green.  In addition, the small mountain range at the opposite end of the "strips" (left hand side of the poster) is purple.

This poster was bootlegged, an unauthorized reprint.  The bootleg poster  measures 19 3/4" x 28 1/4".  The background color of this poster is a true black.  The lettering at the bottom, which is medium red on the original, is very washed out, looks like a dull pinkish/brown on the bootleg.  The two "strips" that run diagonally into the venue information have very little green in them, and the mountain range at the opposite end of the "strips" is black, not purple.

Both posters are printed on very similar paper stocks.  The color differences are the best way to distinguish an original from the boot.  In addition, the boots we have seen are 1/4" shorter.  That may or may not be the case on all of them.
