Original 1st printing 11&3/8 x 21&7/8" concert poster for the Southbound Freeway appearing with the Bossmen on 11/4/1966 and the MC5 appearing with Southbound Freeway (again) on 11/5/1966, both shows held at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit, MI. Art by Gary Grimshaw, image ("Mod Man") is image # 5 in the Russ Gibb Presents/Grande series. Medium-thick flat/vellum stock poster is in decent (B/B- to B-); a semi-pronounced horizontal center crease, tape pulls in all four corners and top/bottom center margins, a 1/2-3/4" area of missing paper in the top right corner tip, tack holes in the top center margin and in the lower right margin, light handling, a few slight surface dings/scratches, light toning, a surface scuff on "Freeway" and a couple of tiny stress bends, otherwise fine. One of Grimshaw's earliest Grande Ballroom images, complete with the original "Uncle Russ Travel Agency" logo. VERY cool-looking ORIGINAL 1966 Grande poster.
