Original 1st printing 15 x 20" concert poster for Big Brother & the Holding Company (featuring Janis Joplin), along with the Creators and Walking Flower at the Men's Gymnasium on the campus of Sacramento State College on 1/6/1968. Art by Jim Ford and Steve Murphy (Art & Print), the handbill image is featured in the Art of Rock book on page 260 (plate 3.18- the upside-down lettering without the photograph is the basis for the poster). Medium-thin flat index stock poster is in excellent (B+) condition; a pair of pin holes in the top corners, a light area of handling/diagonal creasing in the upper right corner, a few scattered mild handling bends around the outer edges, a tiny edge ding or two and a set of light tape marks on the reverse, otherwise fine. An absolutely STUNNING-looking low-run regional Big Brother/Janis poster with an awesome design and ultra-bright eye-searing colors. VERY hard-to-find!
