Original 1st printing 15 x 21" concert poster for NYC avant-freak rockers the Fugs with Kaleidoscope (featuring David Lindley) and the Family Tree at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland, OR on 5/3/1968. Art by San Andreas Fault (Tad Hunter), image is part of the short-lived "Crystal Dog" series (sometimes considered to be a minor extension of the Family Dog/Portland series). Medium flat vellum stock poster is in gorgeous near mint to excellent (A-/B+ to B+) condition; a slight diagonal bend in the upper right margin, a small 1/2" bend in the bottom left corner, a couple of minor handling dings and the "Family Tree" add-on sticker has detached from the corner (it will be included and can easily be re-attached- there's also a 1 x 6" area of brown glue residue underneath where the sticker was originally placed), otherwise fine. One of the best-looking Crystal Dog images, this one has always been one of the harder-to-find posters in the series. Be sure to check out additional listings from this extensive Portland collection.
