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, Frumious 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 good to very good (B to B/B+) condition; there are a couple of tiny wedges out of the lower left/right corner tips, along with a small stain in the lower right margin/edge, a couple of tiny soft splatter stains in the lower right corner, a few stray handling/stress creases hiding within the image area and a decent amount of ballpoint writing in the lower left corner of the reverse side, otherwise it is a fine-looking example of this oversized 1969 event poster with a gorgeous design and a MASSIVE lineup.
