I've got  a copy of what sounds like the same poster somewhere. A lot of
stuff is packed away at the moment so I can't lay my hands on it but from
memory i got it around '78 or so, can't remember how or where from. It's a
panoramic shot, presumably from the same Space Ritual set and as far as I
can recall is about 12 inches by 2 feet +. It isn't cardboard but was
printed on thick, matt paper. Out of interest there's a couple of shots
from the same era in an album sized glossy book called "The Concerts"
published by Paper Tiger around '79, one double page full stage shot and
one from the side of the stage. The latter looks very much like Brixton
Sundown from the interior layout.

Still on the poster front, somewhere I've got a large glossy promo poster
for Captain Lockheed with Bob in makeup wearing a black SS uniform I think
(again this is from memory) with a girl wearing pilot's goggles. Haven't
seen this mentioned before, are there many of them about?
