Original 1st (1971 post-show commemorative) printing 16 x 22&5/8" concert poster for the Who appearing with Poco and the Bonzo Dog (Doo-Dah) Band at the Hollywood (CA) Palladium on 6/13/1969. Art by Rick Griffin, image is featured in the Art of Rock on page 274 (plate 3.65). Medium-thin flat vellum stock poster is in good to very good (B to B/B+) condition; there is a tiny white surface chip on the "us" of "Circus" in the top center margin, along with a few small edge tears (1/2" and under) along the right margin, a few thin bends running along the top margin, a light amount of handling wear, a nearly-invisible soft diagonal bend just to the right of the beetle's head, a tiny sliver of paper shaved off of the bottom right corner, a quartet of clear tape wedges and a tiny bit of pen scratch on the reverse, otherwise fine. An overall great-looking example of one of Rick Griffin's most vibrant and striking concert poster images.
