Original 1st printing 17 x 22&1/8" concert/event poster for the First Annual Detroit Rock & Roll Revival, held at the Michigan State Fairgrounds on 5/30-31/1969. Acts listed include: MC5, Chuck Berry, Sun Ra, Dr. John the Night Tripper, Johnny Winter, the (Psychedelic) Stooges (featuring Iggy Pop), Lyman Woodard Trio, Red, White & Blues Band, David Peel & the Lower East Side, Third Power, Savage Grace, Teegarden & Vanwinkle, Terry Reid, the Amboy Dukes (with Ted Nugent), SRC, Frost, the James Gang (with Joe Walsh), the Rationals, UP, New York Rock & Roll Ensemble, Wilson Mower Pursuit and more. Art by (and SIGNED in black sharpie by) Gary Grimshaw, image is featured in the Art of Rock book on page 298 (plate 3.138). Medium-thick glossy-coated index stock poster is in good/decent (B to B/B-) condition; a set of tack holes (one in each corner with a small pull in the top left corner, numerous small edge creases/tiny bends, a few well-camouflaged tiny wedge tears hiding in several places within the image, a thin 5" horizontal bend in the upper left margin, a few scattered surface dings, stress bends and a bit of staining and pen scratch on the reverse, otherwise fine. This example actually presents itself quite nicely, despite the conditional issues. GORGEOUS Grimshaw image, the real-deal 1969 1st printing of this poster almost never turns up.
