Original 1st printing 11 x 14" event/concert poster for "Peace Rites", a benefit featuring beat poet legend Allen Ginsberg along with PNW psych favorites the P.H. Phactor (Jug Band), Great Pumpkin, (New) Tweedy Brothers and Laura & the Vipers at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland, OR on 5/21/1967. Art by Hank Pander, Medium-thin flat index stock poster is in very good (B/B+) condition; a small light stain above the "e" of "Peace", a soft diagonal bend in the lower left edge, a series of scattered surface smudges/small handling dings and a bit of light edge creasing, otherwise fine. Really nice-looking little Crystal Ballroom poster with an interesting/eclectic lineup.
