Description

 Original 1st printing 8&1/2 x 24&1/4" concert/event "banner" poster for the 4th of July Jubilee Concert, part of the ninth edition of the annual Berkeley Folk Festival, held at the Greek Theatre on the campus of the University of California in Berkeley, CA on 7/4/1966.

 Designer unknown/not credited, image (double-sized uncut version) is featured in the Art of Rock on page 55 (plate 1.89). *this is the right-side banner with Jefferson Airplane pictured

 Poster lists festival participants Pete Seeger, Jefferson Airplane, Robert Pete Williams, the Greenbriar Boys, Alice Stuart Thomas, Sam Hinton, Los Halcones De Salitrillos, Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach, Charley Marshall, Phil Ochs and John Fahey.

 Thick cardboard stock poster is in decent (B/B-) condition; there is a moderate degree of toning, along with a trio of pronounced horizontal creases/bends (above "Jubilee", below "Concert" and between the ticket strip and the band photos), a set of staple holes (all four corners), a few thin diagonal bends in the upper left/right corners, a few stray pin-prick spots/scuffs and a tiny surface pull or two hiding within the image area, a touch of fading to the red pass of ink and a set of tape pulls on the reverse side... this example has definitely been around the block a few times, but it's still all there and is still quite presentable.
