Description

 Original 1st printing 28 x 22&1/8" 1st-state cardboard 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 (paper version with yellow lettering) is featured in the Art of Rock on page 391 (plate 4.183).

 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). 

 Thick cardboard stock poster is in very good (B/B+) condition; there is a bit of staining on the reverse side that bleeds through to the front along the upper margin (just above the "ta" of "Atlanta") and VERY slightly into the image area (on the second "p" of "Pop" and on the "ld" of "World"), along with a bit of wear (a slightly chewed edge with a couple of tiny creases/nips) along the right margin, a few light surface scratches and a stray ding or two hiding within the image area, a bit of minor corner-tip/edge wear and the aforementioned staining on the reverse, otherwise fine.

 Very nice-looking example of the first-state cardboard edition of this oversized 1969 event poster with a great design and an UNBEATABLE lineup.
