Original 1st printing 14&1/4 x 20" concert poster for Quicksilver Messenger Service with the Sons of Champlin and Taj Mahal and the Blue Flames at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco, CA on 10/27-29/1967. Art by Rick Griffin, image ("Mornin' Papa") is number 89 in the Family Dog/Avalon series. Medium flat stock poster is in good/decent (B to B/B-) condition; several scattered staple holes (about 10-11 total in all four corners and at various random points throughout the image), a small brown stain in the lower right corner (tape residue from the reverse) with a small pull, an area of subtle toning/discoloration in the upper right quadrant, numerous tiny surface scuffs/dings, minor handling wear and a couple of small pen scratches on the reverse (top center and lower left corner) otherwise fine- it's really quite charming, a very decent-looking example of this perennial Griffin favorite. This piece comes from the collection of Sanford Tucker, proprietor of the legendary "Sanford's" and "Velvet Underground" clothing stores of San Francisco.
