Original 1st printing 18&7/8 x 34" concert/event poster for the Piper Rock Festival, scheduled to be held at "Peace Park" near Akron, OH fon 5/24/1970. (*event was moved to Dankovich Farm in Newton Falls, OH)
Designer unknown, poster lists appearances by The Rascals, Canned Heat, Cold Blood, the Byrds, Smith, Glass Harp and Marble Cake (*most acts listed did not appear, but additional acts including Alice Cooper, Kenny Rogers and the First Edition and Pig Iron did appear)
Medium-thin flat vellum stock silkscreen poster is in near mint to excellent (A-/B+ to B+) condition; aside from a few light pinch dings scattered around the outer margins (and a couple hiding within the image area) and a thin streak of blue ink on the reverse, it is a VERY sharp example of this oddball Midwestern festival item from a fairly obscure event.
