Description

Original 1st printing 14&1/8 x 20" concert poster for the Jim Kweskin Jug Band (with Maria Muldaur) appearing with Big Brother & the Holding Company (featuring Janis Joplin) and Electric Train at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco, CA from 10/7-8/1966.
 
 Art by Stanley Mouse and Alton Kelley, image ("Girl With Green Hair") is # 29 in the Family Dog/Avalon series. (*OP-1 in the Eric King guide)
 
 Medium-thick flat vellum stock poster is in good (B) condition; there is a light to moderate degree of toning, along with a series of tack/pin holes (a couple with tiny drag tears) in all four corners and scattered around the outer margin/ticket outlet areas (plus one or two additional holes hiding within the image area), a couple of relatively minor edge/corner-tip creases, a moderate amount of edge wear/creasing along the upper left margin, a pair of small horizontal tears in the left/right margins, light handling wear and a couple of light stains/scuffs on the reverse, otherwise fine.

 It is slightly off-register/lightly inked in the bottom rectangle ("Avalon Ballroom"), but those issues were created during the printing process, so they are inherent to the poster. 

 Overall, a really nice-looking semi-used 1st printing example of this ICONIC 1966 Avalon poster.
