Original 1st (early 1970's-era California Graphics Exchange) printing 13&7/8 x 22" concert poster for the Jimi Hendrix Experience (along with Electric Flag, Blue Cheer and the Soft Machine- not listed) appearing at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, CA on 2/10/1968. Art by Rick Griffin, image is featured in the Art of Rock book on page 277 (plate 3.68). Medium-thin flat vellum stock poster is in good to very good (B to B/B+) condition; there is a bit of toning, a light to moderate degree of moisture warp to the paper, a set of tack holes (all four corners), a few tiny edge/corner dings, a tiny razor slice in the upper right corner tip, a series of VERY thin horizontal roll bends traversing the image area, a well-camouflaged tiny stress bend or two and a couple of tape shadows on the reverse, otherwise fine. One of the most frequently requested Rick Griffin images from the Art of Rock, this is a fine-looking specimen.
