This original first printing cardboard poster has been professionally restored to offer the appearance and eye appeal of a clean copy! Restoration includes: tear seal.
This vintage poster is oozing with history! During 1967, music festivals were beginning to appear all over California and this cardboard poster advertises the FIRST Annual Sacramento Pop Festival, with San Francisco's Jefferson Airplane headlining. It was their creative high-point, just months after the release of “Surrealistic Pillow”. The Airplane were joined by other less known period acts at this event, but here's where it gets interesting: The band Hour Glass contained future Allman Brothers Band founding members Duane & Gregg Allman! Also notable is the poster "Introduces" the band Spirit, which became jazz-rock icons featuring guitarist Randy California. This is the FIRST example of this rare original poster to appear in our auction. This lovely gem exhibits the "Zebra Man" design in the background, similar to the popular FD-28 poster. The image is so powerful that it was also used by Gary Grimshaw for his Zebra Man Grande Ballroom poster as well.
