Description

 Original 1st printing 28 x 22" concert/event poster for the 1st Atlanta International Pop Festival, held at Atlanta International Raceway, just outside of Hampton, GA from 7/4-5/1969.

 Art by Lance Bragg, image is featured in the Art of Rock on page 391 (plate 4.183). This is the final version of the poster (there is an earlier version on cardboard)

 Poster lists festival participants Chuck Berry, Al Kooper, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Canned Heat, Chicago Transit Authority, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Dave Brubeck and Gerry Mulligan, Delaney & Bonnie and Friends, Ian & Sylvia, Tommy James & the Shondells, Janis Joplin, Johnny Winter, Joe Cocker, Led Zeppelin, Pacific Gas & Electric, Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Johnny Rivers, Spirit, Staple Singers, Sweetwater, Booker T. & the MG's, Ten Wheel Drive and "extra special guest attraction" (it was Grand Funk Railroad). 

 Thin glossy stock poster is in good to very good (B to B/B+) condition; there are tack/staple holes in all four corners with a couple of tiny drag tears, along with a tiny nip out of the top right corner tip, a series of light edge creases, tiny pin-prick stains and a few tiny nip tears scattered around the outer margin area, a few hairline-thin stress bends and a series of nearly-invisible vertical roll bends hiding within the image area, otherwise it is a fine-looking example of the thin-paper edition of this oversized 1969 event poster with a killer design and a MASSIVE lineup.
