Original 1st printing concert poster for the 8/1-3/1969 Atlantic City Pop Festival, held at the Atlantic City (NJ) Racecourse.
Poster lists appearances by: B.B. King, Canned Heat, Chicago, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Iron Butterfly, Tim Buckley, Janis Joplin, the Byrds, Johnny Winter, Joni Mitchell, Jefferson Airplane, Crazy World of Arthur Brown, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Three Dog Night, the Moody Blues, Mother Earth, Santana (Blues Band), Booker T. & the MG's, Hugh Masekela, American Dream, Little Richard, Butterfield Blues Band, Sir Douglas Quintet, Mothers of Invention, Lighthouse, Dr. John the Night Tripper, Joe Cocker and the Buddy Rich Big Band (*most, but not all acts appeared- two cancellations were CSN and the Moody Blues)
Medium-thin glossy-coated index stock poster is in very good to excellent (B/B+ to B+) condition; there are a series of VERY tiny thin vertical stress bends going through the center of the image area, along with a bit of mild wear/creasing along the right margin, a bit of pressure creasing and a thin horizontal stress bend extending from the middle of "Dream" out to the outer edge of the right margin, a subtle horizontal wave to the paper and a trace of toning with a bit of minor wear along the bottom margin, otherwise fine.
VERY uncommon (and GREAT-looking!) concert artifact from the OTHER large Festival event from the Summer of 1969 (2 weeks before Woodstock), apparently this event came off without a hitch. Check out several minutes of audience-shot footage of the event HERE:
