Original 1st printing 13 x 22" concert poster for Jefferson Airplane appearing with the Grateful Dead and Fleetwood Mac (with Jeremy Spencer and Peter Green) at the Carousel Ballroom in San Francisco, CA from 6/7-9/1968. Art by Patrick Lofthouse, image ("Medals") is featured in the Art of Rock on page 182 (plate 2.172). Medium-thick flat vellum stock poster is in very good to excellent (B/B+ to B+) condition; a pronounced curl to the paper (it was rolled in a tube for many years), a few stray surface scuffs and tiny pin-prick stains, a few thin pinch bends scattered along the top/bottom margins, a bump in the top left corner and a thin vertical stress bend below the "Carousel" medal, otherwise fine. Very decent-looking example of this late-period Carousel poster that comes directly from an original ballroom staff member. Can't beat the provenance on this one.
