Description

 Original 1st printing 6&1/4 x 9&3/4" double-sided KYA-AM Top 60 radio survey/concert/event handbill for the first Northern California Folk-Rock Festival, held at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds in San Jose, CA from 5/18-19/1968.

 Handbill lists performances by the Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Big Brother & the Holding Company (with Janis Joplin), Country Joe & the Fish, the Youngbloods, Loading Zone, Taj Mahal and the Dirty Blues Band. Also appeared (not listed): Grateful Dead, Transatlantic Flash, Electric Flag and MANY more.

 Artist unknown/not credited, thin flat stock handbill/survey is in near mint (A-) condition; nothing more than a few nearly-invisible handling creases hiding within the image area and a couple of tiny corner-tip creases, otherwise fine. The reverse side has the KYA Top 60 chart for the week of 5/4-10/1968 ("Tighten Up" by Archie Bell and the Drells at #1!)

 Neat little artifact from the 1968 NCFR Fest! Check out footage of the Doors performing at the event HERE:
