Sopwith Camel were considered to be one of the top San Francisco bands and were thought to have commercial potential early on. They were the second band after the Jefferson Airplane to score a recording contract. This beautiful design was for a Sopwith Camel show at the Santa Venetia Armory on February 10th 1967. According to sources, the band was originally scheduled to play this Friday night production at the Armory. However, the Camel ended up having east coast obligations and the Grateful Dead took their place. 

 

Condition: Trimmed / cut into a circular shape around edges, missing ticket strip, creases around edges.
