Original 1st printing 8&1/2 x 11" concert flyer for rock & roll pioneer Bo Diddley appearing with Quicksilver Messenger Service at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco, CA from 7/28-30/1966. Art by Stanley Mouse and Alton Kelley, image is # 18 in the Family Dog/Avalon series, this is the red/brown ink (OHB-C) version. Thin flat stock flyer is in excellent (B+) condition; just a couple of ultra-tiny "mouse bites" and a nearly-invisible stain along the upper right margin, a touch of handling wear and a minor registration issue along the bottom edge (Berkeley ticket outlet info is "sliced"), otherwise fine. An overall superb example of this early (1966) Avalon flyer in really nice shape.
