Original 1st printing 19 x 25" concert poster for the San Francisco International Pop Festival, held at the Alameda County Fairgrounds in Pleasanton, CA from 10/26-27/1968.
Design by Carson-Mrris Studios, acts listed include: Johnny Rivers, Jose Feliciano, Canned Heat, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Buddy Miles Express, Fraternity of Man, Deep Purple, Procol Harum, Chambers Brothers, Eric Burdon & the Animals and the Grass Roots. (*not all listed acts appeared, and there were a few additions- Mad River, Lee Michaels and a few others)
Medum-thick glossy coated index stock poster is in mint/near mint to near mint (A/A- to A-) condition; aside from a stray fingerprint or two, it is a VERY clean example of this whimsical Rick Griffin-inspired poster from this semi-obscure 1968 South Bay event. Check out an audience-taped compilation (with hilarious running commentrary) of the show HERE:
