Original 1st printing 13&3/4 x 20&3/8" concert poster for Jefferson Airplane (rehearsing their then-brand-new singer Grace Slick) and Sparrow (unlisted) at the Matrix in San Francisco, CA.from 10/24-27/1966. Art by Tom Weller, image (blue version) is featured in the Art of Rock on page 164 (plate 2.112) -this is the green background version. Medium flat vellum stock is in stunning near mint to excellent (A-/B+ to B+) condition; aside from a couple of very minor corner bumps on the (2) right-side corners, some very light surface wear (a couple of dings in the lower right quadrant), a trace of handling and a pair of minor tape pulls on the reverse, it's just about as sharp as you can ask for. Very crisp-looking early Matrix poster from the period when the Airplane were basically the house band for the club.
