This is the FIRST CGC Graded example of this handbill to ever appear in any public auction! News spread quickly a few months ago about the sad passing of Roky Erickson at age 71 which has already spurred a massive interest in concert material for collectors and fans alike. Texas native Roger Kynard "Roky" Erickson was a founding member of The 13th Floor Elevators and a pioneer of the psychedelic rock genre. The group was a major innovator of '60s Rock & the "San Francisco Sound". They made several stops to the Fillmore and Avalon early on.

 

This attractive handbill is a great example of an elevators issue by a seldom used Family Dog Artist Steve Renick and the handbill very rarely appears in public auctions in ANY condition. This is a lot that will attract a lot of interest from collectors and yet also provide a special opportunity to acquire this issue for less than the higher mint examples would command.
