Original 1st printing 20 x 29&7/8" silkscreen concert poster for a SEVA benefit, "Blues Against Blindness", held at the Berkeley (CA) Community Theater on 1/25/1992. Poster lists performances by John Lee Hooker, Hot Tuna with special guest Bob Weir (Grateful Dead), Dr. John, Lisa Kindred, Roy Rogers, Joe Louis Walker, Wavy Gravy (MC) "and More!". Art by Robert (R.) Crumb and Alton Kelley (who also SIGNED and numbered the poster (A/P- Artist's Proof) in pencil) extra thick flat oak-tag stock hand-pulled silkscreen is in excellent (B+) condition; aside from a tiny dime-sized water stain in the bottom left corner tip, a few light surface scrapes, a stray tiny edge ding or two and a whisper of curling, this example is an awesome-looking specimen of a really neat-looking early 1990's Kelley/Crumb collaboration. Apparently the numbered part of the run was limited to 200 pieces and most were likely sold at the event.
