This CGC Graded original handbill features the 13th Floor Elevators and Moby Grape at the Avalon in 1966. News spread quickly a couple years ago about the sad passing of Roky Erickson at age 71 which has 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 FD-34 handbill very rarely appears in public auctions in ANY condition. This variant designatied OHB-D by Eric King is the version of FD-34-OHB-A that was addressed and sent out to people on the Family Dog mailing list. Only a handful of copies of this variant are known to exist! This example here is addressed and stamped / postmarked on the reverse!
