Original 1st printing 14 x 20" concert poster for Big Brother & the Holding Company (featuring Janis Joplin) appearing with Quicksilver Messenger Service and the Gladstones at Monterey (CA) Fairgrounds Dance Hall from 7/2-3/1966.

 

 Art by R.R. Branaman, image is featured in the Art of Rock on page 265 (plate 3.33).

 

 Medium flat vellum stock poster is in SPARKLING mint/near mint to near mint (A/A- to A-) condition; an absolutely STUNNING example of this VERY early Big Brother/QMS poster from Monterey. Janis Joplin had only been with the band for a few weeks by the time of this gig.
