Original 1st printing 17&1/4 x 25" concert poster for the Jimi Hendrix Experience appearing with Cat Mother & the All-Night Newsboys and (Charles) West Fauster at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on 5/3/1969. Design by Ray Bennett (poster was distributed by CHUM-FM), medium-thin flat vellum stock poster has been professionally restored to excellent (B+) condition; a pair of small pulls in the left/right center margins have been filled in, along with the removal of a pair of tiny pen scratches that were hiding in the image area and a couple of minor edge touch-ups, but for the most part the work is VERY well-camouflaged within the design- VERY professional restoration job on this one, most, if not all of the issues would be obliterated by a good framing job. GORGEOUS Hendrix concert item from the notorious "bust show" (Jimi got caught at Canadian customs with assorted illegal substances in his bag), this version of the poster (there is also a David Byrd-designed cardboard tour blank) was apparently sold or handed out at the concert by the radio station sponsoring the show (CHUM-FM). Check out an AWESOME medley of "Spanish Castle Magic/Third Stone from the Sun/Little Miss Lover" HERE; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jk8G631PGVY
