Original 1st printing 12&1/8 x 22&1/8" concert poster for the Up appearing with Southbound Freeway and Billy C. and the Sunshine on 9/22/1967, MC5 appearing with Buoys on 9/23/1967 and MC5 (again) appearing with the Charles Moore Ensemble, Up, John Sinclair and Jim Semark (Trans-Love Benefit/Homage to John Coltrane) on 9/24/1967, all shows held at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit, MI. Art by Gary Grimshaw, image is # 45 in the Russ Gibb Presents/Grande series. Thin flat vellum stock poster is in decent (B-) condition; this example has numerous edge tears (including a 2" vertical tear in the top center margin), a small 1/4" chunk out of the lower left margin, a series of horizontal creases/bends traversing the image area, a couple of oil-stain shadows in the lower margin.corners, a moderate amount of surface wear/handling... definitely on the used side, but it's all there. While the conditional issues are numerous on this particular example, the scarcity of the image more than makes up for it... a VERY hard-to-find Grande poster.
