Original 1st printing 11 x 17" concert poster for the Great Society (featuring Grace Slick)* appearing with Big Brother and the Holding Company (pre-Janis Joplin)*, Monty Waters Band, the Skins and the Exiles in a benefit for the Delano Grape Strike, held at Harmon Gymnasium on the campus of the University of California in Berkeley, CA from 4/1-2/1966. *Great Society and Big Brother cancelled and were replaced by Jefferson Airplane and Quicksilver Messenger Service
Designer unknown/not credited, extra-thin flat stock poster has been professionally restored to excellent (B+) condition; there are several flattened bends/creases, along with a bit of edge repair/touch up, stain removal (a couple of them are still visible on the reverse side) and there remain a few light handling dings/soft creases and a couple of VERY well-hidden ultra-tiny pin-prick pin holes hiding within the image area, but it looks pretty good overall.
EARLY UC Berkeley benefit concert poster with a great pre-psychedelic "broadside" design. Read more about the Airplane's activities (including these shows) during this period HERE:
