Description

 Original 1st printing 8&1/2 x 11" concert/event flyer for "A Pirate's Ball", a free Hells Angels (New York City chapter)-sponsored boat cruise (aboard the "S.S. Bay Belle") around New York City on 9/5/1973, featuring Jerry Garcia & Merl Saunders (with John Kahn and Bill Kreutzmann) appearing with Elephant's Memory, Mission Mountain Wood Band and Bo Diddley. 

 Designer unknown, thin flat semi-textured stock flyer is in good/decent (B to B/B-) condition; there are a couple of small chunks of paper missing from the top center margin/upper right corner, along with a couple of stray pin/tack holes and a tiny nip tear or two scattered around the outer margin area, a couple of minor stains in the lower left margin and a VERY soft vertical bend going through the left/center of the image area (top to bottom), otherwise OK.

 Fairly basic, but HISTORIC early-'70's Jerry Garcia piece, as this event featured the very first public appearance of Jerry's Doug Irwin-designed "Wolf" guitar". Check out footage of the event (from the movie "Hells Angels Forever") HERE:
