 Original 1st printing 14 x 20&1/2" concert/event poster for the 2nd Northern California Folk-Rock Festival, held at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds in San Jose, CA from 5/23-25/1969.

 Poster lists performances by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Jefferson Airplane, Chambers Brothers, Led Zeppelin, Eric Burdon, Spirit, Canned Heat, Buffy St. Marie, the Youngbloods, Steve Miller, Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, Taj Mahal, Noel Redding (Fat Mattress), Lee Michaels, Blues Image, Santana, Aum, Elvin Bishop, Poco (Pogo), People, Linn (Lynn) County, Loading Zone, Sweet Linda (Tillery) Divine, Cat Mother & the All-Night Newsboys, Doc Watson and the New Lost City Ramblers. Also appeared (not listed): Fritz (featuring Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks) and more.

 Design by Linda Segul, medium-thick glossy-coated index stock poster is in very good (B/B+) condition; there  are multiple staple holes in all four corners and in the top bottom center margins, along with a small 1&3/4" diagonal bend in the upper left/center margin, a tiny pressure crease in the bottom left corner tip, a couple of thin scratches/hairline indentations hiding within the band listings and a soft handling or two lurking within the image area, otherwise fine. Unlike most of the clean examples that came from the stash in Southern California, this one was actually taken down from public display by the consignor at the time of the event.

 KILLER original 1969 rock festival artifact from the second edition of the San Jose-based festival. While not all of the bands listed on the poster appeared at the event (most notably Led Zeppelin), many did- including Jimi Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, the Chambers Brothers, Santana and more.
