Original 1st printing 8&1/2 x 11" concert/event flyer for the Vancouver Pop Festival, held at Paradise Valley Resort in Squamish, British Columbia (Canada) from 8/22-24/1969. Designer unknown, flyer lists appearances by Tarantula, the Flying Burrito Brothers (with Gram Parsons), Little Richard, Love (with Arthur Lee), Merryweather, Motherlode, Taj Mahal, Crome Cyrcus, Lee Michaels, Canned Heat, Strawberry Alarm Clock, Chicago (Transit Authority), the Guess Who, Merilee Rush, the Byrds, the Rascals, the Chambers Brothers, Alice Cooper, Smith, Rotary Connection (with Minnie Ripperton), Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee and the Grateful Dead (several acts canceled, including the Dead). Thin flat stock flyer is in near mint to excellent (A-/B+ to B+) condition; just a few soft handling bends scattered around the outer margin area, a couple of light moisture ripples above "Squamish" and a tiny pressure crease in the right center margin, but for the most part, this example is pretty much as clean as they come. Oddball festival piece from a semi-obscure (and apparently poorly-attended) PNW event, read more about it HERE: https://www.djtees.com/blogs/djtees-blog/vancouver-pop-festival-1969
