Original 1st printing 4&1/4 x 5&7/8" concert handbill for Blue Cheer with the Nazz-Are Blues Band at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland, OR on 2/16-17/1968. Art by DeWaide, image is number P-1 (the first image in the official numbered series) in the Family Dog/Portland series. Thin glossy stock handbill (the Crystal handbills were printed on unused soup can labels, I've been told) is in absolutely gorgeous mint to near mint (A/A- to A-) condition; it's basically as bright/crisp as the day it was issued over 43 years ago, I can't really spot any issues with this one. KILLER example of this VERY uncommon Portland Family Dog handbill... be sure to check out our other listings for a wide selection of original posters and handbills from Oregon, including a few really unique one-of-a-kind items.
