Original 1st printing 4 x 7" blank-reverse concert handbill/card for Canned Heat appearing with Family, Red, White & Blues and Caste on 4/25-26/1969, along with the Stooges (featuring Iggy Pop) appearing with All the Lonely People and Third Power on 4/27/1969, all shows held at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit, MI. Art by Leni Sinclair (with Darlene Ford), image is # 133 in the Russ Gibb Presents/Grande series. Medium-thin flat vellum stock postcard is in VERY sharp mint/near mint to near mint (A/A- to A-) condition; with the minor exception of the somewhat crude printing (the little white marks in the lower left corner/right center margin and numerous stripping errors that are commonplace with this card), there is only the slightest touch of handling/edge/corner wear, otherwise this example can't be beat. A GREAT-looking early '69 Grande card featuring Leni Sinclair's classic shot of Iggy straddling a microphone stand.
