Poster dealers try to refrain from using the term “Rare” because in most cases “rare” is a relative term. That is not the case with this lot which is exceedingly rare by any definition of the word. This is one of just three examples of this poster ever to appear at public auction. This 3 day festival took place just 2 weeks before Woodstock and featured many of the All-Star bands of the era including Janis Joplin Jefferson Airplane Santana Credence and many more.
There is a wide and deep group of collectors that actively seek out posters that are truly rare and all but impossible to find. It is understood that if one is lucky enough to locate such an item 99 out of 100 times the quality will leave a lot to be desired. This is not the case here. The winning bidder will be adding a beautiful relativelyhigh quality example of an exceedingly rare poster.No matter what this poster brings it will serve as yet another example of just how ridiculously undervalued Vintage Concert Posters are compared to other collectibles. A great opportunity!
