Original 1st printing 19 x 25" concert poster for the San Francisco International Pop Festival, held at the Alameda County Fairgrounds in Pleasanton, CA from 10/26-27/1968.
Design by Carson-Mrris Studios, acts listed include: Johnny Rivers, Jose Feliciano, Canned Heat, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Buddy Miles Express, Fraternity of Man, Deep Purple, Procol Harum, Chambers Brothers, Eric Burdon & the Animals and the Grass Roots. (*not all listed acts appeared, and there were a few additions- Mad River, Lee Michaels and a few others)
Medium-thick glossy coated index stock poster is in near mint to excellent (A-/B+ to B+) condition; there are a few VERY well-camouflaged handling dings and a tiny stress bend or two hiding within the image area, along with a tiny (1/4") diagonal pressure crease/bend in the top left corner tip, otherwise it is a nearly-clean example of this whimsical Rick Griffin-inspired poster from a somewhat obscure 1968 South Bay event.
Check out an audience-taped compilation of the show (with hilarious running commentary on the acts/scene) HERE:
