Original 1st printing 8&1/2 x 11" concert flyer for rock & roll pioneer Bo Diddley appearing with Quicksilver Messenger Service at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco, CA from 7/28-30/1966. Art by Stanley Mouse (who also SIGNED the piece in pencil) and Alton Kelley, image is # 18 in the Family Dog/Avalon series, this is the red/orange ink (OHB-A) version. Thin flat stock flyer is in BEAUTIFUL near mint (A- to A-/B+) condition; a series of ultra-tiny surface/edge dings, a pair of pin-prick stains in the lower margin, a whisper of handling and a minor registration issue along the bottom edge (Berkeley ticket outlet info is "sliced", a fairly common issue with this flyer), otherwise fine. An absolutely FANTASTIC-looking ARTIST-SIGNED example of this early (1966) Avalon flyer.
