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/decent (B/B-) condition; there are staple/tack holes/tiny diagonal bends/creases in all four corners, along with several semi-flattened horizontal/vertical folds (four total, item was folded into 1/8ths), a few light handling creases here and there, a mild to moderate degree of paper toning, a few stray edge stains, surface dirt on the reverse side and a few other assorted little minor issues here and there.. definitely a well-traveled example.

 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).
