Original 1st printing 13&7/8 x 22&1/2" concert poster for the Yardbirds (featuring Jimmy Page) appearing with the Sir Douglas Quintet and the New Breed at the Santa Rosa (CA) Fairgrounds on 7/21/1967. Art by Van Krugel/Bower (Haffbadd), a similar image (from the 7/29 Danville High School Stadium show) is featured in the Art of Rock on page 212 (plate 2.265). Thin flat index stock poster has been professionally restored to excellent (B+) condition; the lower margin/edge has had a bit of repair (a few small patches/fills to fix a series of tears), along with a moderate amount of corner repair (filled-in tack holes, sealed tears), a sealed horizontal tear in the upper left margin and a few other well-hidden touch-ups lurking around the image area, but overall the work on this piece is absolutely TOP NOTCH- the poster presents itself VERY nicely (especially when you consider the condition it was originally in... majorly tattered, to say the least). Once believed to be a semi-lost cause, the poster has now been transformed into a FANTASTIC-looking example. Absolutely KILLER mid-'67 Yardbirds image from Northern California.
