Original 1st printing 12&7/8 x 19&3/4" concert/event poster for beat poet Allen Ginsberg with Swami Bhaktivendanta along with the Grateful Dead, Big Brother & the Holding Company (featuring Janis Joplin) and Moby Grape in a benefit performance (for the San Francisco Krishna Temple), held at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco, CA on 1/29/1967. Designer unknown, image ("Krishna Consciousness Comes West") is featured in the Art of Rock book on page 107 (plate 2.18). Medium flat vellum stock poster is in absolutely stunning mint/near mint to near mint (A/A- to A-) condition; aside from a tiny age spot in the left center margin and a couple of ultra-light stress bends just to the right and bottom of the sphere, otherwise a GORGEOUS example of this early '67 Avalon benefit poster with a great design and a fantastic lineup.
