Original 1st printing 15&7/8 x 26&3/4" concert poster for the Paul Butterfield Blues Band with Sly & the Family Stone, the Velvet Underground (featuring Lou Reed) and the Rockets (pre-Crazy Horse) at the Shrine Exposition Hall in Los Angeles, CA on 7/12-13/1968. Art by Neon Park, image is featured in the Art of Rock book on page 277 (plate 3.70). Medium-thick glossy-coated index stock poster is in very good to excellent (B/B+ to B+) condition; several small crescent-shaped pinch dings near and along the top edge, along with one or two more scattered around the image, along with a hint of edge wear and a few tiny surface cracks, but overall this is one of the nicer examples I've seen... no holes, tears or any real major wear on this one- it would look GREAT framed up. One of the brightest posters in the Pinnacle series, and a favorite among Velvet Underground collectors.
