Original 1st printing 13 x 19&1/4" cardboard concert/event poster for the Powder Ridge Festival, held at the Powder Ridge Ski Area in Middlefield, CT from 7/31-8/2/1970.

 Design by Sicilia/Lassen, poster lists appearances by Sly & the Family Stone, Eric Burdon & War, Delaney & Bonnie and Friends, Fleetwood Mac, Melanie (*the only act who actually performed), Mountain, J.F. Murphy and Free Flowing Salt, Allan Nichols and James Taylor (7/31), Joe Cocker, the Allman Brothers Band, Cactus, Little Richard, Van Morrison, Rhinoceros, Ten Wheel Drive, Jethro Tull, Tony Williams Lifetime and Zephyr (8/1) and Janis Joplin, Chuck Berry, Bloodrock, Savoy Brown, John B. Sebastian, Grand Funk Railroad, Spirit, Ten Years After and Richie Havens (8/2).

 Medium-thin glossy-coated cardboard stock poster is in very good to excellent (B/B+ to B+) condition; a thin horizontal bend across the center of the image, a single pin hole in the top center, a 2-3" area of horizontal stress creasing around "Facilities and Comforts", a few soft pinch bends along the left margin and on the "r" of "Powder" and a couple of minor corner bumps, otherwise fine.

 Really nice-looking 1970 Festival poster for what (by virtually all accounts) turned into an unmitigated disaster. Read all about what happened when tens of thousands of people (with a lot of drugs) showed up to a festival that had been called off at the last minute;
