Original 1st printing 8&1/2 x 11" boxing-style concert flyer for the Grand Opening of the Matrix in San Francisco, CA on 8/13/1965, featuring the debut performance of Jefferson Airplane.

 

 Designer unknown, image is featured in the Art of Rock book on page 161 (plate 2.103).

 

 Thin flat stock flyer is in excellent (B+) condition; there is a semi-flattened horizontal center crease and a nearly-invisible vertical crease (can only be seen on the reverse), along with a few stray light surface scuffs/pin-prick spots, a thin vertical scuff/streak mark along the lower right margin, a few light handling creases and a touch of VERY subtle toning, otherwise it is an absolutely STUNNING example of this historic early San Francisco rock artifact.

 

 INCREDIBLY SCARCE early Matrix item, this is the first one I have ever had the pleasure of offering. For more on the show, read HERE:
