Set of (3) (two original 1st printing, one 2nd printing) approximately 14&1/4 x 21&3/4" concert posters for a trio of 1967 concerts held at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco headlined by the Charlatans. Art by Rick Griffin and Robert Fried, (with a photo by Herb Greene), images ("CHA-RLAT-ANS") are numbers 63-1, 67-2 and 71-1 in the Family Dog/Avalon series. Openers at the shows included the New Salvation Army Band (3/26-28/1967, FD 63), 13th Floor Elevators (with Roky Erickson- 6/22-25/1967, FD 67) and the Youngbloods with the Other Half (7/13-16/1967, FD 71) Medium flat index stock posters are all in near mint to excellent (A- to A-/B+) condition overall; they all have a few well-camouflaged handling bends/stress creases, a couple of VERY tiny pin-prick surface stains and tiny edge dings scattered here and there, but as a whole- the set looks VERY sharp. These posters (and several others we are featuring in this sale) come from the collection of underground comix artist (and personal friend of Rick Griffin and Rick Shubb) George Metzger.
