This original, first printing uncut poster was produced to advertise the 1969 Sky River Rock Festival, held on Labor Day weekend from August 30th to September 1st, 1969 on Rainier Hereford Ranch in Tenino, Washington. It was the second annual Sky River festival, held at a different location than the first. The lineup featured Flying Burrito Bros, Country Joe, Dan Hicks, James Cotton, Dick Gregory, Kaleidoscope, Mississippi Fred McDowelll, The Steve Miller Band, New Lost City Ramblers, Country Weather, Pacific Gas & Electric, Billy Roberts, Sons of Champlin, Mark Spoelstra, and more. The festival almost never happened, as the local court tried to stop the festival due to public complaints. The State Supreme Court over stepped them to allow it at the last minute on the day before it was set to open. This is the first example of this poster to ever appear in our auction!

 

Condition: ripped bottom left edge, handling, small water stain upper left edge, waviness, edge wear.
