Here's an AOR issue that has never appeared in our auction before! This poster promoted a benefit for the Airwaves People's Radio held at San Francisco's Fillmore West (advertised as the Carousel Ballroom on the poster) on March 3rd, 1971. Please note the poster erroneously lists "1970" at the bottom, however the event occurred in '71. Performers included the Grateful Dead, Shades of Joy, Gestalt Fool Theatre Family, and more. The show was put together on rather short notice and only around 200 examples of this poster were printed, making it quite rare! It is unlikely that another example will be made available in our auction anytime soon.

 

Condition Details: Creases, tape pulls, corner bumps, stains.
