Original 1st printing 15&3/4 x 24&1/2" hand-pulled silkscreen concert poster for the Tenth San Francisco Blues Festival, held at Fort Mason in San Francisco, CA on 9/11-12/1982. Design by NAP Graphics (with a photo by Skip Dickstein), image is featured in the Art of Rock book on page 341 (plate 4.32). This edition of the annual event featured performances by Albert Collins, Clifton Chenier, Robert Cray, John Hammond, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown and more. Medium-thick silkscreen poster (printed on thick oak-tag stock) is in very good to excellent (B/B+ to B+) condition; a 1/2 x 1/8" nip out of the bottom right corner, light corner/edge wear (ultra subtle bits of creasing in the lower left corner and a few soft bends/tiny smudges along the outer edges) and a couple of stray surface scratches, otherwise a superb-looking example of this uncommon AOR poster. The colors on this poster are actually MUCH brighter than the book would have you believe- it really pops in person.
