This bizarre later Family Dog issue uses electronic style lettering and mechanical looking nudes to create an unusual effect. The bodies form a design of it own. Featured at the Avalon were Taj Mahal and the great Creedence Clearwater Revival.

There were 2 versions of this poster, both original and printed before the concert. This is the light & dark blue version, which was the second run produced by the printer. This version was not approved by the artists Paul Kagan and David Smith at the time. For to collectors to acquire a full set of Family Dog numbered series poster, this FD-121 OP-2 pre-concert printing is needed, and doesn't surface as often as the OP-1 lavender version.
