Original 1st printing 8&3/4 x 23" phone pole/banner-style concert poster and 5&1/2 x 8&1/2" program for early Rock & Roll legends Chuck Berry, Little Richard and the Johnny Otis Show (featuring Shuggie Otis, Delmar "Mighty Mouth" Evans, Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson and Big Joe Turner) appearing together at the Hollywood (CA) Palladium on 3/5/1971. Design by Pacific Presentations/Pinnacle, medium flat index stock poster is in excellent (B+) condition; there is a 1/2" tear in the top center margin, a couple of semi-thin creases/light bends along the upper right margin/corner, a thin crease in the lower left margin, a couple of soft handling dings and a whisper of surface wear, otherwise fine. Medium-thin glossy-stock program is in near mint (A-) condition; just a hint of toning and a few soft pinch dings, otherwise fine. Nice clean graphic on this one, featuring photos of all the performers. As an added bonus, the poster has been HAND-SIGNED (in blue sharpie) by the one and only Chuck Berry (1926-2017).
