Original 1st printing 11&5/8 x 21" (original 12&1/4 x 22" size/all four margins trimmed) linen-backed concert poster for the Jimi Hendrix Experience appearing with the Soft Machine, the Rationals and Frut of the Loom at the I.M.A. (Industrial Mutual Association) Auditorium in Flint, MI on 2/24/1968. Art by (and SIGNED in black pen by) Gary Grimshaw, medium-thin flat index stock poster has been partially restored to decent/used (B-) condition; apparently this example was trimmed to fit into a frame at one point, then backed/restored upon removal- there are a number of semi-apparent areas of repair/touch-up (top center margin, all four corners), and there are a couple of tiny pin-prick spots in the lower part of the image area/ticket outlet strip and a few little dings here and there, but overall it looks OK for what it is. Definitely not for the condition-conscious (more "for amusement only" or to fill a hole in a concentrated Hendrix/Grimshaw/Michigan collection), but still a presentable-enough-looking ARTIST-SIGNED example of a VERY uncommon '68 Hendrix poster.
