Original 1st printing 18&3/8 x 25" merchandising poster for Johnny Winter's appearance the Toronto Pop Festival, held at Varsity Stadium in Toronto, Ontario (Canada) from 6/21-22/1969 (JW performed on 6/21). Design by Dream Machine, this poster was one of several different merchandising posters sold at the event (others from the series include the Band, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Steppenwolf, Jimi Hendrix (who did not perform), and a generic poster featuring a naked woman perched on Varsity Stadium's bleachers). Medium-thin glossy stock poster is in decent (B/B- to B-) condition; there are several pronounced diagonal/horizontal creases/bends traversing the image area, along with a bit of corner wear/creasing, a moderate degree of edge wear, a small 1/2" diagonal nip out of the lower left corner tip, a number of thin stress creases, pinch/handling dings throughout and a couple of tape residue marks on the reverse, otherwise fine. REALLY cool-looking psychedelic Johnny Winter item from one of his MANY Festival appearances.
