Original 1st printing 8&1/2 x 11" concert flyer for the one and only Velvet Underground (with Lou Reed) appearing with Chapter Five at Springer's (Ballroom) in Gresham (outside of Portland), OR on 11/21/1969. Artist unknown, thick gold foil-coated index stock flyer is in used (B-/C+) condition; there is a small chunk out of the left margin, the foil has a SUBSTANTIAL amount of wear (creasing/tightening/surface pits), a couple of stray pin holes, a diagonal/horizontal bend just beneath the ampersand, a 2" stain in the left center of the image, a series of hard bends, several scuffs on the reverse... you get the idea- this example has certainly had a robust life. A VERY, VERY uncommon Velvets item and despite the conditional issues, it still presents itself in a charming way. Apparently this show was put on by the folks at Sunn Amplifiers (they were sponsoring the band during this time).
