Description

 Original 1st printing 13&1/8 x 19&1/2" concert poster for Big Brother and the Holding Company (featuring Janis Joplin) appearing with Bob Seger and the Last Heard and the Purple Cucumbers at the Cheetah (Aragon Ballroom) in Chicago, IL from 3/22-24/1968. 

 Design by "Shrewd Productions", medium-thin glossy stock poster is in used (B-) condition; there is a substantial amount of fading to the yellow ink, along with a series of horizontal roll creases that turn into splits along the right margin, moisture damage along the lower margin, a moderate amount of surface wear/creasing/edge wear, tape residue/pulls with tiny bits of glitter on the reverse... definitely a well-worn survivor, but all there.

 I sold one of these in much better shape last year for a fairly decent amount- and while this example certainly has seen better days, it is still presentable and "all there".

 Very cool original early-'68 Janis Joplin concert artifact from Chicago.
