This RARE issue has never appeared in our auction before! It was produced for the Grateful Dead, Canned Heat, Santana, Lee Michaels, and Tarantula playing at the Aztec Bowl at San Diego State University on May 11th, 1969. It is likely that very few examples were originally printed. A non-CGC example previously sold for $2,024.00 in a non-PAE auction. That is the only other example we've seen surface online!
In 1969, the music scene was ablaze with iconic bands, each leaving their mark on the era. The Grateful Dead, known for their improvisational and genre-blending style, were captivating audiences with their legendary live performances. Canned Heat, with their energetic blend of blues and rock, brought a raw and soulful intensity to the stage, exemplified by their hit "On the Road Again." Meanwhile, Santana burst onto the scene with their self-titled debut album, fusing rock, Latin rhythms, and mesmerizing guitar solos, making them a standout act of the year. Collectively, these bands embodied the diverse and experimental spirit of the late '60s, shaping the musical landscape for years to come.
