This poster features the New Lost City Ramblers along with the late great guitar wizard Mike Bloomfield - AND Nick Gravenites with Southern Comfort appearing at the legendary 660 Great Highway venue. Taj Mahal has also on the bill! Titled "Magic on the Edge of the Western World" this piece by an unknown artist really is a beauty to behold. Wonderful split-fountain technique with the colors and heady lettering design. That's a killer Great Highway poster!
Approximately seven months after The Family Dog were forced out of the Avalon Ballroom, Chet Helms opened up shop on the Great Highway. The site was at the former Edgewater Ballroom, part of the Playland at the Beach complex. Due to budget constraints, relatively few posters were produced for the shows at 660 Great Highway and they were printed in small quantities. This super rare original pre-concert first printing is 100% Original with no restoration!
Condition Details: Creases, pinholes, water damage on bottom, tears bottom edge.
