Original 1st printing 14 x 22" cardboard boxing-style concert poster for Big Brother & the Holding Company (post-Janis Joplin-era) appearing with Satan's Child, Charlie McClendon and the Magnificents and Royale Seven at the Virginia Beach (VA) Dome on 6/13/1970. Designer/printer not credited (lettering by Victor Moscoso, photos by Lisa Law), thick cardboard boxing-style poster is in used (B-) condition; there are a pair of approximately 1" diagonal chunks out of the top and bottom right corner tips, along with a 1&1/2" tear in the bottom center margin, a series of pin-prick age/moisture spots throughout the piece, a pair of 1-2" diagonal bends in the lower left corner, a series of staple holes in James Gurley's face, creasing along the top edge and a 1" tear in the top center margin, a series of thin stress ends, etc... you get the idea- this one shows all of the signs of weather exposure followed up with a somewhat hasty removal from public display (back in 1970). Conditional issues aside, it's still a pretty scarce post-Janis-era Big Brother piece from a fairly out-of-the-way (for them) East Coast venue.
