Only the Second Appearance of this poster in a PAE auction in over 13 years! A LARGE Original First Printing poster featuring the supergroup CSNY along with powerhouse guitarist Santana on November 27th 1969 at the Salt Palace, in Salt Lake City Utah! Without a doubt both bands were deep in their prime during this historic era. This gig at The Salt Palace was part of CSNYs first national tour. Just a couple of weeks following this show, CSNY and Santana appeared at the tragic Altamont gig.

Due to the huge size, expensive, quality stock and full color printing, only 300 to 400 posters were printed in late 1969 to promote the concert and far fewer copies survived in beautiful condition, as a result of its gargantuan size and very limited distribution.

The beautiful artwork on this poster was designed by Richard Winn Taylor, the Art Director for the early Tron and Star Trek movie motion pictures. Taylor, along with Kenvin Lyman, were the infamous RAINBOW JAM LIGHTS back in the day. Rainbow Jam performed their light wizardry at a plethora of midwest concerts, as well as for Family Dog during the late 60s & early 70s. Jerry Garcia said RAINBOW JAM was the "best light show in the world!", and obviously he'd seen a few in his time.

Condition: slight toning, corner crunch, pinhole on top center.
