Original 1st printing 28 x 22" concert/event poster for the 1st Atlanta International Pop Festival, held at Atlanta International Raceway, just outside of Hampton, GA from 7/4-5/1969.
Art by Lance Bragg, image is featured in the Art of Rock on page 391 (plate 4.183).
Poster lists festival participants Chuck Berry, Al Kooper, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Canned Heat, Chicago Transit Authority, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Dave Brubeck and Gerry Mulligan, Delaney & Bonnie and Friends, Ian & Sylvia, Tommy James & the Shondells, Janis Joplin, Johnny Winter, Joe Cocker, Led Zeppelin, Pacific Gas & Electric, Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Johnny Rivers, Spirit, Staple Singers, Sweetwater, Booker T. & the MG's, Ten Wheel Drive and "extra special guest attraction" (it was Grand Funk Railroad).
Thin glossy stock poster is in very good (B/B+) condition; there is a tiny nip out of the bottom left corner tip, along with a couple of thin vertical/diagonal bends in the lower right margin, a few stray handling creases scattered around the outer margins and hiding within the image area, a couple of light corner-tip bends and a series of nearly-invisible vertical roll bends, otherwise it is a SUPERB-looking example of the first-state thin-paper version of this oversized 1969 event poster with a great design and a MASSIVE lineup.
Check out a really cool Super-8 montage of the festival (shot by an attendee) HERE:
