Original 1st printing 23 x 29" concert/event poster for the "Celebration of Life" Festival, scheduled to be held near McCrea, LA from 6/21-28/1971. (*event was canceled after 4 days)

King, Boz Scaggs, Buddy Miles, Ballin' Jack, the Beach Boys, Bloodrock, Canned Heat, the Chambers Brothers, Chuck Berry, Country Joe McDonald, Dixieland Jazz Band, Delaney & Bonnie and Friends, Edgar Winter's White Trash, Eric Burdon, the Flying Burrito Brothers, Ike & Tina Turner Review, It's A Beautiful Day, the James Gang, John Hartford, John B. Sebastian, John Lee Hooker, Johnny Winter, Leon Russell, Melanie, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Ravi Shankar, Richie Havens, Roland Kirk, Seatrain, Sly & the Family Stone, Symphony Orchestra, Voices of East Harlem and War, plus "20 More Artists, Giant Fireworks Display" and more* (many bands did not actually play, but a few of the bands listed on the poster did appear (John Sebastian, Chuck Berry, War, Boz Scaggs), along with a number of unlisted acts, including Stephen Stills)

 Medium-thin glossy stock poster is in good/decent (B/B-) condition; there are vertical/horizontal folds with a bit of wear (a couple of tiny pin-prick holes and a touch of fraying) around where the folds intersect in the middle of the image area, along with a light to moderate degree of creasing/handling wear, a set of pin/tack holes (all four corners), a few stray edge dings and tiny nip tears scattered around the outer margin area, a couple of soft bends and tiny pin-prick scuffs hiding within the image area and a couple of thin diagonal bends in the upper left/right corners, otherwise OK.

 Semi-uncommon festival item from a mostly-forgotten (for good reason, apparently -it was a completely disorganized mess) event from the same group of promoters that put on the Atlanta, Toronto and New Orleans Pop Festivals. *This is the first state/version of the poster (before Cat Stevens and Mandrill were added at the top of the left/right banners).
