Original 1st printing 8&1/2 x 11" concert flyer for "The Conspiracy Stomp", a benefit to raise money to cover legal costs for the Chicago Eight (Abbie Hoffman, Bobby Seale, Jerry Rubin, Rennie Davis,, David Dellinger, John Froines, Tom Hayden and Lee Weiner), held at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, IL on 11/28/1969. Acts/speakers listed include: Abbie Hoffman, Paul Krassner, Bob Gibson, the Fabulous Hypnotics, Jeff Carp Group, Chad Mitchell, the cast of "Hair", Hugh Romney (AKA Wavy Gravy, host and Master of Ceremonies), Johnny Kaye, Phil Ochs, Siver Apples, Calvin's Walla-Walla Basics and "Fifty Live Turkeys"(!) Art by the one and only R. Crumb, thin flat stock flyer is in excellent (B+) condition; a quartet of tiny pin holes in each of the four corners (with a tiny drag tear in the bottom left corner tip), a few ultra-soft handling dings here and there and a hint of edge wear (a tiny pull in the left center margin), otherwise fine.... a GORGEOUS example overall. VERY cool and scarce event flyer from the legendary Chicago ballroom, this one features a great R. Crumb design and a wildly eclectic lineup.
