Original 1st printing 14 x 20" concert poster for Love (featuring Arthur Lee) appearing with Big Brother & the Holding Company (featuring Janis Joplin) at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco, CA on 7/15-16/1966* (canceled). Art by Stanley Mouse (who also SIGNED the poster in pencil) and Alton Kelley (with the central image borrowed from Franz (Von) Stuck), image is # 17A in the Family Dog/Avalon series. Medium-thick flat vellum stock poster is in absolutely sparkling near mint (A-/B+) condition; aside from a few well-camouflaged soft horizontal roll and light handling bends, a hint of edge toning and a nick or two along the top margin and a nearly-invisible surface spot or two, otherwise this is just about as crisp/bright as you can hope to find. Since the show was canceled, these posters weren't distributed as widely as most of the others, sometimes it can be a bit of a challenge finding one in nice shape.
