Original 1st printing 14&1/8 x 20&5/8" concert/event poster for the 2nd Northern California Folk-Rock Festival, held at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds in San Jose, CA on 5/23-25/1969. Poster lists performances by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Jefferson Airplane, Chambers Brothers, Led Zeppelin, Eric Burdon, Spirit, Canned Heat, Buffy St. Marie, the Youngbloods, Steve Miller, Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, Taj Mahal, Noel Redding (Fat Mattress), Lee Michaels, Blues Image, Santana, Aum, Elvin Bishop, Poco (Pogo), People, Linn (Lynn) County, Loading Zone, Sweet Linda (Tillery) Divine, Cat Mother, Doc Watson and the New Lost City Ramblers. Also appeared (not listed): Fritz (featuring Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks) and more. Design by Linda Segul, medium coated glossy index stock poster is in absolutely fantastic mint/near mint (A/A- to A-) condition; an overall gorgeous-looking example of a very sweet regional California festival poster. Not every act listed on the poster performed, but many, if not most of them did- including Hendrix, who apparently delivered a scorching mid-afternoon set on the 25th. Here's, about 2 minutes of silent footage exists from Jimi's set (thanx Bat!); http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4PVRqiTqV8
