Original 1st printing 5&1/2 x 8&1/2" concert handbill for the Jimi Hendrix Experience appearing with Electric Flag, Blue Cheer and the Soft Machine at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, CA on 2/10/1968. Art by John Van Hamersveld, image (full-color 2nd printing poster) is featured in the Art of Rock on page 277 (plate 3.72 -this is the original 1st-strike/pre-show red ink/blue stock handbill). Thin flat stock handbill is in ULTRA-sharp near mint to excellent (A-/B+ to B+) condition; aside from a soft handling ding or two, the only real issue is a VERY slight (almost-invisible) area of subtle toning in the upper right corner that can be seen when the item is tilted towards a light source (laying flat, it disappears)... other than that, this example is pretty much as clean as they come. An absolutely INCREDIBLE-looking specimen of this iconic early-'68 Hendrix concert handbill.
