Original 1st printing 18&3/8 x 25" merchandising poster for the Band's appearance at the Toronto Pop Festival, held at Varsity Stadium in Toronto, Ontario (Canada) from 6/21-22/1969 (the Band performed on 6/21). Design by John Par (Dream Machine), this poster was one of several different merchandising posters sold at the event (others from the series include Johnny Winter*, Blood, Sweat & Tears*, Steppenwolf, Jimi Hendrix (who did not perform), and a generic poster featuring a naked woman perched on Varsity Stadium's bleachers). Medium-thin glossy stock poster is in BEAUTIFUL near mint to excellent (A-/B+ to B+) condition; aside from a tiny bit of curl to the paper from being rolled and a couple of ULTRA-tiny edge nips along the left/right margins, it is an absolutely STUNNING example of this HIGHLY psychedelic image featuring the crew from Big Pink (also pictured on the poster). *We also have the matching/similar posters for Blood, Sweat & Tears and Johnny Winter listed separately.
