Original 1st printing 4&1/4 x 5&1/2" concert handbill for the (Wild) Weeds (featuring Fred Cole) with Mr. Lucky and the Gamblers, the New Tweedy Brothers and the Warloks on 3/3-4/1967, along with advertisements for shows by (ex-Paul Revere guitarist) Drake Levin (and the Golden Hind) and Buffalo Springfield (featuring Richie Furay, Stephen Stills and Neil Young) (no dates on the handbill, but the Drake and B.S. shows took place on 2/14/1967 and 3/22/1967, respectively) all at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland, OR. Art by "DIVC", ultra-thin glossy stock handbill is in excellent (B+) condition; other than a tiny 1/4" tear in the top center, minor creasing in the top left corner and just a touch of handling, it's basically fine. One of the more unusual handbills in this collection, this one has a weird hand-colored (with dark magic marker) background that was added before the handbill was overprinted with the information, giving the piece a VERY unique look. Be sure to check out additional listings from this extensive Portland collection (including the very hard-to-find POSTER from this show).
