Original 1st printing 8&1/2 x 11" concert flyer for legendary UK power trio Cream (Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce) appearing with the Grateful Dead at the Sacramento (CA) Memorial Auditorium on 3/11/1968.
Art by Jim Ford & Steve Murphy (Art Print), image appears in the Art of Rock book on page 259 (plate 3.10). This is the yellow/red green "Grateful Dead" version (*same as the book), there is also a version with "Grateful Dead" in pink and purple (both are equally scarce)
Medium-thin flat index stock flyer is in good/decent (B to B/B-) condition; there are a series of semi-flattened vertical/horizontal/diagonal folds (item was folded into 1/4ths and pressed out), along with a moderate amount of creasing in the upper right qudrant/corner, a few stray handling dings/stress bends and a couple of nearly-invisible razor-thin diagonal bends hiding within the image area and a few minor edge/corner-tip dings, otherwise fine (no holes/stains/tears, etc.)
AWESOME early-'68 Cream/Dead concert artifact from the only time these two bands ever shared a bill. Read more about the show HERE:
