Original 1st printing 17&1/8 x 22" concert/event poster for the Cincinnati Pop Festival, held at Cincinnati (OH) Gardens on 3/26/1970. Artist unknown (central image borrowed from Gary Grimshaw), poster lists festival participants Joe Cocker (with Mad Dogs & Englishmen featuring Leon Russell), Savoy Brown, Frijid Pink, Mountain, MC5, Pleasure Seekers (with Suzi Quatro), Amboy Dukes (with Ted Nugent), the Stooges (with Iggy Pop), Brownsville Station, Cradle, Bitter Blood, Balderdash, Whalefeathers, Glass Wall, East Orange Express and Westfauster. Image is #140 in the Russ Gibb Presents series (G/G- 700326 in the Eric King guide) and was co-promoted with Mike Quatro and WEBN-FM. Medium-thick glossy-coated index stock poster is in good/decent (B/B-) condition; there is an approximately 1" chunk of paper missing from the top left corner tip, a 1" tear in the upper left margin, a couple of soft corner bends, a series of soft surface scratches/dings and tiny edge nicks, a bit of smudging/dirt in the lower left corner and a few tiny stress bends hiding within the image area, otherwise fine. Conditional issues aside, this is an EXTREMELY hard-to-find late-period Russ Gibb poster that almost never turns up.
