    A glossy color poster of a concert Labelle performed at the Metropolitan Opera House. The top two-thirds of the poster is the color image of Labelle's album cover Nightbird, which depicts deliberately blurred images (to show movement) of Patti LaBelle wearing green, Nona Hendryx wearing yellow, and Sarah Dash wearing orange, set against a black background. The figures vary in size. The text on top of the color portion of the poster reads, along the top border, in orange print: "LABELLE/NIGHTBIRDS" and at the center left border, in orange print, at an angle: "LADY MARMALADE / SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE / ARE YOU LONELY? / IT TOOK A LONG TIME / DON'T BRING ME DOWN" and "WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU? / NIGHTBIRD / SPACE CHILDREN / ALL GIRL BAND / YOU TURN ME ON." The bottom one-third of the poster is white with black centered type, and reads: "LABELLE AT THE MET. / Labelle In Concert at the Metropolitan Opera House, Sunday, October 6, 8PM / Tickets: $10, 7.50, 7.25, 7, 6.25, 4.50. / Available now at the Metropolitan Opera box office, / Lincoln Center, Broadway at 65th Street, / and at Ticketron outlets.
