Advanced collectors are well aware that the few existing concert posters that have survived the past 50+ years from the Santa Venetia Armory are amongst the most coveted issues ever produced.
This rare, original cardboard poster is a spectacular piece of 1960s San Francisco Sound history. It features a wonderful photo of Jefferson Airplane by legendary photographer Herb Greene, and was created for a concert that took place just 12 days after the band's historic performance at The Human Be-In, and just a few weeks before the band's breakthrough album release Surrealistic Pillow, which would quickly catapult The Airplane into international stars.
Surrealistic Pillow was titled by Jerry Garcia who was a "shadow producer" of the album, and credited in the liner notes as Spiritual Advisor. The album contained the band's biggest hits White Rabbit and Somebody to Love, which would become the official anthem of 1967s Summer of Love.
The most minimal research on the internet will reveal that just a small handful of these posters are known to exist in ANY condition, and many knowledgeable collectors consider this to be amongst the most desirable Jefferson Airplane concert posters ever produced. In fact, this issue is so elusive that a photograph was unable to be secured for publication in The Art of Rock book!
