Original 1st printing 5&1/2 x 8&1/2" concert/event handbill for the 2nd Northern California Folk-Rock Festival, held at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds in San Jose, CA from 5/23-25/1969. Handbill lists performances by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Jefferson Airplane, Chambers Brothers, Led Zeppelin, Eric Burdon, Spirit, Canned Heat, Buffy St. Marie, the Youngbloods, Steve Miller, Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, Taj Mahal, Noel Redding (Fat Mattress), Lee Michaels, Blues Image, Santana, Aum, Elvin Bishop, Poco (Pogo), People, Linn (Lynn) County, Loading Zone, Sweet Linda (Tillery) Divine, Cat Mother & the All-Night Newsboys, Doc Watson and the New Lost City Ramblers. Also appeared (not listed): Fritz (featuring Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks) and more. Design by Linda Segul, thin foil-coated index stock handbill is in excellent (B+) condition; just a few tiny bends scattered around the outer margin area and a tiny pinch ding or two hiding within the image area, otherwise fine. VERY cool little original 1969 rock festival artifact, featuring none other than Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin listed on the same bill. *Not every act listed on the poster performed, but many (if not most of them) did- including Hendrix, who apparently delivered a scorching mid-afternoon set on the 25th. Here's a VERY brief clip; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E56w8luB0K4
