Description

 Original 1st printing 8&1/2 x 11" concert flyer for the Yardbirds (featuring Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page (although Paul Samwell-Smith is pictured) appearing with Harbinger Complex, Peter Wheat & the Breadmen and Just IV at the Carousel Ballroom in San Francisco, CA on 8/25/1966 and at the Rollarena in San Leandro, CA on 8/26/1966. on 7/22/1967. 

 Art by Don Ryder, image (full-color poster) is featured in the Art of Rock on page 219 (plate 2.293).

 Thin flat stock flyer is in good (B) condition; there are staple holes, tiny creases and small stains in the top/bottom center margins, along with a pair of flattened horizontal/vertical folds, a few light handling creases here and there, a couple of VERY tiny pin-prick holes in the left/right center margin and in the upper left corner area and a touch of mild paper toning, otherwise OK.

 Very decent-looking example of this fairly hard-to-find Yardbirds flyer from the Beck/Page-era. Fun side note: apparently, members of Texas-based psychedelic band the 13th Floor Elevators attended this show on their first day in the Bay Area (with their roadie, who forgot to lock the van... which was immediately cleared of its contents, forcing the band to play on borrowed equipment for their San Francisco debut).
