Original 1st printing (3rd/final state- thin paper version) 28 x 22" concert/event poster for the 7/3-5/1970 2nd Atlanta International Pop Festival, held in Byron, GA. Art by Lance Bragg, image (with ticket) is featured in the Art of Rock on page 390 (plate 4.178). Poster lists festival participants Procol Harum, the Allman Brothers Band, B. B. King, It's A Beautiful Day, Captain Beefherat and the Magic Band the Chambers Brothers, Mountain, Ginger Baker's Air Force, Richie Havens, Jimi Hendrix, the Hampton Grease Band, Taos, Ballin' Jack, Bloodrock, John B. Sebastian, Jethro Tull, Ten Years After, Spirit, Ravi Shankar, Terry Reid, Cactus, Gypsy and Johnny Winter, along with a "Symposium of Awareness" with Yogi Bhajan, a giant fireworks display, super jam sessions and more. Thin glossy stock poster is in absolutely fantastic near mint to excellent (A-/B+ to B+) condition; aside from a touch of handling and a small wedge-shaped indentation on "Richie", this is just about as bright/crisp an example as you can hope to find- a GORGEOUS specimen of this iconic festival image. Here's Jimi shredding his way through "All Along the Watchtower" on the Fourth of July; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y95Ya6YW_9c
