Original 1st printing 28 x 22" cardboard concert/event poster for the 7/4-5/1969 Atlanta International Pop Festival, held at Atlanta International Raceway, just outside of Hampton, GA. Art by Lance Bragg, image (full-color paper version) is featured in the Art of Rock on page 391 (plate 4.183), this is the BLACK AND WHITE version/variant. Poster lists festival participants Chuck Berry, Al Kooper, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Canned Heat, Chicago Transit Authority, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Dave Brubeck and Gerry Mulligan, Delaney & Bonnie and Friends, Ian & Sylvia, Janis Joplin, Johnny Winter, Joe Cocker, Led Zeppelin, Pacific Gas & Electric, Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Johnny Rivers, Spirit, Staple Singers, Sweetwater, Booker T. & the MG's, the Stump Brothers, Ten Wheel Drive and "extra special guest attraction" (it was Grand Funk Railroad). Thick cardboard stock poster is in good to very good (B to B/B+) condition; a few scattered surface scrapes and scratches, light toning, a 3/4" pull in the top left corner, couple of decent-sized (2" and 3") diagonal bends and a tiny tear in the lower left margin, a 1" tear in the right center margin and a few light surface stains, otherwise fine. VERY, VERY scarce version of the 1st Atlanta Pop poster, there are only a few of these in circulation.
