Description

Original 1st printing 23 x 29" (untrimmed outer white border) concert/event poster for the second Sky River Festival, held in Tenino WA from 8/30-9/1/1969.

 Art by J. Wood, image is featured in the Art of Rock on page 288 (plate 3.105).

 Poster lists festival participants Alice Stuart, Anonymous Artists of America, Big Mama Mae Thornton, Black Snake, Bluebird, Chicago Transit Authority,Cleanliness & Godliness Skiffle Band, Collectors, Congress of Wonders, Country Joe & the Fish, Country Weather, Crome Syrcus, Dan Hick & His Hot Licks, Dick Gregory, Doctor Humbead's New Tranquility String Band, Elyse Weinberg, Floating Bridge, Flying Burrito Brothers (with Gram Parsons), Mississippi Fred McDowell, Frumoius Bandersnatch, Grapefruit, Guitar Shorty, James Cotton Blues Band, Kaleidoscope, Los Flamencos Santa Lucia, Magic Sam, Mother Tucker's Yellow Duck, New Lost City Ramblers, New York Rock & Roll Ensemble, Sons of Champlin, Steve Miller and Quicksilver Messenger Service. 

 Medium-thick glossy stock poster is in very good to excellent (B/B+ to B+) condition; there are a couple of tiny "mouse bite" nips along the upper/lower left margin, along with a few light creases and a subtle moisture stain in the lower white border area, 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 tiny pin-prick stain in the upper right margin, otherwise it is a VERY sharp-looking example of this oversized 1969 event poster with a gorgeous design and a HUGE lineup.
