The signatures on this original Rental Lease were signed by Yahya Sardik of Sardik's Hammond Organ Rentals and hand-written by the event promoter's secretary in 1971. The rental was likely for the stage Hammond B3 Organ played by Gregg Allman at the concert.
This One-of-a-kind, Original Rental Lease is from a recently discovered collection of promotional material centered around a one-time event held in Philadelphia in 1971. The collection includes original promotional materials once belonging to promoter William Kelly, the organizer of "Blues Bag One," a charity event for disadvantaged youth. The Allman Brothers headlined this once-in-a-lifetime blues jam, which also featured legendary bluesman Mississippi Fred McDowell. Buddy Guy and Luther Allison were also in the lineup. A 22-year-old Bonnie Raitt (who learned to play slide guitar from McDowell) opened the concert.
There is very little detail left from the show other than these:
