Description

Original 1st printing/final state version (with silver-ink overprint) 16&5/8 x 28&1/2" concert poster for the "Fire Dance" benefit (for poster artist Alton Kelley, whose studio had burned down) featuring the Steve Miller Band, the Charlatans and Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks appearing together at the Carousel Ballroom in San Francisco, CA on 6/12/1968 (*show was rescheduled from 5/8/1968 and was originally supposed to have included Jefferson Airplane, who dropped out).

 Art by Stanley Mouse & Alton Kelley, image (an uncut proof sheet) is featured in the Art of Rock book on page 182 (plate 2.173).

 Medium-thick flat index stock poster is in used (B-) condition; there are numerous semi-pronounced bends/creases criss-crossing the upper/lower margin area, along with tack holes (all four corners), a series of edge creases and small tears scattered around the outer margin area, a fairly creased/crunched upper left corner tip, handling wear, a large tape mark on the reverse... this example has certainly seen better days, but it's still a decent-enough original artifact from the very end of the Carousel Ballroom run (they were out of the venue by the end of the month).
