Original 1st printing 28 x 22&1/8" cardboard concert/event poster for the 7/4-5/1969 Atlanta International Pop Festival, held at Atlanta International Raceway, just outside of Hampton, GA. Art by Lance Bragg, image (paper version) is featured in the Art of Rock on page 391 (plate 4.183). Poster lists festival participants Chuck Berry, Al Kooper, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Canned Heat, Chicago Transit Authority, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Dave Brubeck and Gerry Mulligan, Delaney & Bonnie and Friends, Ian & Sylvia, Tommy James & the Shondells, Janis Joplin, Johnny Winter, Joe Cocker, Led Zeppelin, Pacific Gas & Electric, Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Johnny Rivers, Spirit, Staple Singers, Sweetwater, Booker T. & the MG's, Ten Wheel Drive and "extra special guest attraction" (it was Grand Funk Railroad). Thick cardboard stock poster is in very good (B/B+) condition; a few scattered light surface scrapes and scratches, a couple of small-to-medium-sized thin diagonal bends/hairline creases in the bottom left/right corners, a couple of relatively minor edge /corner dings and a couple of stray thin soft indentation lines in the bottom left corner and bottom center margin (about 5-6" each). This particular version/state of the poster has traditionally been somewhat hard to come by (the 1st state cardboard versions with blue/green lettering were mostly distributed/hung), this is a pretty sharp-looking un-circulated example.
