Original 1st printing 14 x 21" concert/event poster for the Toronto Pop Festival, a three-day multi-act festival held at Varsity Stadium in Toronto, Ontario, Canada from 6/21-22/1969.
Designer unknown/not credited (Presented by Brower-Walker) poster lists appearances by the Modern Rock Quartet, Kensington Market, Man, Eric Andersen, Carla Thomas & the Bar-Kays, Al Kooper (15 Piece Orchestra), the Band (6/21 afternoon), S.R.C., the Bonzo Dog Band, Elephant's Memory, Rotary Connection (with Minnie Ripperton), Johnny Winter, Velvet Underground (with Lou Reed), Sly & the Family Stone (6/21 evening), Mother Lode, Stone Soul Children, Procol Harum, Edwin Starr, Slim Harpo, Ronnie Hawkins, Chuck Berry, Tiny Tim (6/22 afternoon), Nucleus, Man, Dr. John the Night Tripper, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Charlebois and Steppenwolf (6/22, evening)
Medium-thin flat vellum stock poster has been restored to excellent (B+) condition; there are a couple of large tears in the top/bottom margins that have been sealed/blended, along with a bit of stain masking along the left side and on the girl's arm (a series of pin-prick spots remain on the reverse side), a couple of pressed-out/flattened thin hairline bends and there remain a couple of tiny surface chips on the girl's chin and on the "n" of "Toronto" and a tiny nip along the upper right margin, but overall it looks pretty good.
REALLY cool-looking late-'60's oddball multi-act Festival item from the Great White North! Check out an incredible set of photos from the event HERE:
