Original 1st printing 19&1/4 x 25" concert poster for the Grand Opening of the Straight Theater in San Francisco, CA.
Three shows are listed, from 7/21-23/1967, featuring: Quicksilver Messenger Service, Mount Rushmore, the New Salvation Army Banned and Mother Earth (featuring Tracy Nelson, 7/21), Country Joe & the Fish, the Charlatans, Blue Cheer and Freedom Highway (7/22) and the Grateful Dead with Big Brother & the Holding Company (featuring Janis Joplin), Phoenix and Wildflower (7/23).
Art by Frank Melton, image is featured in the Art of Rock book on page 200 (plate 2.220).
Medium-thin semi-gloss stock poster is in very good to excellent (B/B+ to B+) condition; there are several small tears and a bit of creasing along the upper right margin area, another couple of tiny nip tears in the lower left margin, a 1/2" tear in the upper left margin, a bit of light creasing/handling wear, a few tiny stress creases/pin-prick spots hiding within the image area and a touch of toning/aging to the white border, otherwise fine.
Overall GORGEOUS example of the Grand Opening poster for the Straight.
