Original 1st printing 5&7/8 x 7&5/8" handbill for "Psychedelic Celebration Number One", a multi-media "happening" featuring a live appearance by LSD evangelist Dr. Timothy Leary, held at the Berkeley Community Theatre on 1/27/1967 and at Winterland in San Francisco, CA on 1/28/1967.
Designer unknown/not credited, thin flat stock handbill is in near mint (A-) condition; really nothing more than a well-camouflaged handling ding or two and that's just about IT... a VERY sharp example of this nifty-looking little Dr. Tim handbill from a pair of early-'67 Bay Area appearances.
Charles Perry details the events in his book "Haight-Ashbury- A History" (pages 128-30, 2005 softcover edition)... apparently the Bay Area psychedelic crowd did not exactly turn out in droves for these appearances.
