Original 1st printing 16&3/4 x 21&7/8" concert/event poster for the Second Annual Saugatuck Pop Festival, held at Pottawatamie Beach near Saugatuck, MI from 7/4-5/1969. Acts listed include: SRC, Procol Harum, MC5, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Rotary Connection, Crazy World of Arthur Brown, Bob Seger, Frost, the Stooges (featuring Iggy Pop), Big Mama Thornton, Savage Grace, Caste, the Amboy Dukes (with Ted Nugent), red White & Blues, Frut of the Loom and Brownsville Station. Art by Carl Lundgren, image is featured in the Art of Rock book on page 303 (plate 3.157). Medium-thick flat vellum stock poster is in very good to excellent (B/B+ to B+) condition; there is a very hard-to-see tiny wedge hole in the top center of the globe, a series of almost-invisible flattened diagonal corner bends, a couple of tiny edge nicks/dings, a few tiny stress bends, pin-prick surface scuffs and handling creases hiding within the image area and a series of light pulls and tape residue stains on the reverse, otherwise fine. (*this piece may have had some light restoration around the edges to seal a couple of tears) An overall GREAT-looking original example of this VERY hard-to-find (and oft-requested) 1969 Pop Festival poster from Michigan.
