Original 1st printing 8&1/2 x 11" concert flyer for the Sir Douglas Quintet appearing with Big Brother & the Holding Company (featuring Janis Joplin) and "a Special Surprize Visit"* appearing at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco, CA on 10/15-16/1966. Art by Stanley Mouse and Alton Kelley with a photo by Edward Steichen (Gloria Swanson, 1924), image is # 30 in the Family Dog/Avalon series. Thin flat stock flyer is in good to very good (B to B/B+) condition; a pair of soft flattened vertical folds going down the center and right side of the image area, a series of thin bends, handling dings and tiny stress creases, a slight discoloration around Gloria Swanson's eyes, a hard pinch bend above "Sir" and a few stray pin-prick surface spots here and there, otherwise fine. The "Surprize Visit"* alluded to above was by none other than the 13th Floor Elevators, making this FD anniversary celebration an all-Texan-fronted affair... not to mention the ad-hoc jam fronted by Jerry Garcia and Pigpen on the 16th (as mentioned in "Mojo Navigator"*). http://lostlivedead.blogspot.com/2009/07/october-15-1966-avalon-san-francisco-ca.html
