Original 1st printing 8&1/2 x 11" concert flyer and 1&1/2 x 1&1/4" ticket stub for legendary UK power trio Cream (Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce) appearing with the Grateful Dead at the Sacramento (CA) Memorial Auditorium on 3/11/1968. Art by Jim Ford & Steve Murphy (Art Print), image appears in the Art of Rock book on page 259 (plate 3.10). Medium-thin flat index stock flyer is in very good (B/B+) condition; a pair of flattened horizontal/vertical folds, a series of handling/pinch dings and a few soft bends scattered throughout the image area, a tiny pull in the lower left margin and a bit of pen scratch on the reverse ("feb. 26, 1968" in blue ballpoint), otherwise fine. The stub (2nd Balcony, Section 212 seat E15) is in decent shape overall, there is a bit of ballpoint pen scratch on the reverse ("Cream & The Grateful Dead"), but there are no real issues besides that. An absolutely AWESOME pair of items from this INCREDIBLE one-time-only double-billing.
