Original 1st printing 12&7/8 x 22&1/8" concert poster for a trio of January 1968 shows held at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit, MI. Shows listed include: Scot Richard Case (SRC) appearing with the Amboy Dukes (featuring Ted Nugent) and Apple Pie Motherhood (1/19-20), and John Mayall's Bluesbreakers (featuring Mick Taylor) appearing with the Rationals and Odds & Ends (1/23). Art by (and SIGNED in black sharpie by) Gary Grimshaw, image is # 63 in the Russ Gibb Presents/Grande series. Medium-thick flat/vellum stock poster is in very good to excellent (B/B+ to B+); a set of tiny pin holes (one in each corner), a bit of light creasing/wear in the upper left/top left margins, a series of very thin hairline diagonal bends going through "Detroit" (top center margin), "Case" and "Motherhood" (upper right corner), a stray edge/corner ding or two, a thin stress bend at about 4:20 outside the interior image border (near Gary's signature) a whisper of handling and a hint of surface smudging in the right center margin, otherwise fine. An absolutely SUPERB-looking ARTIST-SIGNED example of this often difficult-to-find Grande poster.
