 Medium-thin flat index stock poster is in used (B-) condition; there is a moderate to heavy amount of edge wear, with numerous tears, nips, bends/creases, mild uneven paper toning and small wedges of missing paper all around the outer margin area, along with a series of decent-sized bends along the upper left/right margins, a few stray stress creases, handling dings, etc... definitely a well-worn specimen.

Conditional issues aside, still a semi-uncommon Bay Area multi-act poster with an absolutely STACKED lineup. The story behind this event is a pretty fascinating tale- read about it HERE:
