Original 1st printing 4&1/8 x 7" blank-reverse concert/event handbill/card for the Grand Rapids Pop Festival, held at Grand Rapids Civic (MI) Auditorium on 4/8/1969. Art by Carl Lundgren (not credited, Mike Quatro essentially reprinted the 4/7 Detroit Pop Festival image and re-purposed it for the Saginaw and Grand Rapids events) card lists festival participants SRC, Sweetwater, Bob Seger, Amboy Dukes (with Ted Nugent), Frost, Frijid Pink, Plain Brown Wrapper, HP and the Grass Route Movement, Frut of the Loom, Red White & Blues, Unrelated Segments, Mandala, Rationals, Wilson Mower Pursuit, Third Power, Train and Savage Grace. Medium-thin vellum stock handbill is in ULTRA-sharp mint/near mint to near mint (A/A- to A-) condition; a VERY crisp/clean example of this obscure early 1969 Lundgren card with a great design and a very cool Detroit-based lineup.
