This poster for an Iron Butterfly show at the Avalon with The Velvet Underground in support is one of the most frequently requested posters from the Family Dog series. It is interesting that the Velvet Underground was not the headliner. We imagine that at the time Iron Butterfly was considered more of a draw. This show was just a week before the release of the band’s best selling album In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida which contained a 17-minute version of the title song.

The previous record for a 9.8 example of this poster is $546 on 6/16. It will be interesting to watch what this lot brings as demand has really heated up in the past year for superb CGC posters!
