Original 1st printing 5&1/2 x 8&1/2" concert/event handbill for the 2nd Northern California Folk-Rock Festival, held at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds in San Jose, CA from 5/23-25/1969.
Handbill lists performances by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Jefferson Airplane, Chambers Brothers, Led Zeppelin (*cancelled), Eric Burdon, Spirit, Canned Heat, Buffy St. Marie, the Youngbloods, Steve Miller, Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, Taj Mahal, Noel Redding (Fat Mattress), Lee Michaels, Blues Image, Santana, Aum, Elvin Bishop, Poco (Pogo), People, Linn (Lynn) County, Loading Zone, Sweet Linda (Tillery) Divine, Cat Mother & the All-Night Newsboys, Doc Watson and the New Lost City Ramblers. Also appeared (not listed): Fritz (featuring Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks) and more.
Design by Linda Segul, thin foil-coated index stock handbill is in good (B) condition; there are a series of staple/pin holes in all four corner tips and a few hiding within the image area, along with a bit of mild creasing around the outer margin area and a few tiny pin-prick indentations here and there, otherwise OK. This is actually the first example I have seen with staple holes, maybe it was displayed at the time? ...can't say for sure.
Neat little original 1969 festival artifact with a cool design and an UNBELIEVABLE lineup.
