Description

Original 1st printing concert poster for the Atlantic City Pop Festival, held at the Atlantic City (NJ) Racecourse from 8/1-3/1969.

 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 has been restored to good/very good (B to B/B+) condition; there are a series of tiny thin vertical stress bends scattered throughout the image area (mostly flattened with a couple of areas of touch-up) along with a fairly extensive amount of work done around the outer margin area, in the ticket outlet area and in the corners, a couple of sealed edge tears...there's been quite a bit of conditional overhaul on this piece, but it still presents pretty nicely.

 Uncommon (and GREAT-looking!) concert artifact from the OTHER large East Coast festival held in August of 1969 (2 weeks before Woodstock), apparently this event came off very smoothly. Check out several minutes of audience-shot footage of the event HERE:
