Original 1st printing 8 x 11" schedule/marquee-style concert flyer for a series of shows held at the Electric Factory in Philadelphia, PA from 2/16-3/9/1968. Designer unknown, handbill lists performances by Peanut Butter Conspiracy with Woody's Truck Stop (2/16-18), Jimi Hendrix Experience with Soft Machoine (2/21-11)(, Group Image with Edison Electric Band (2/23-25), Elizabeth (2/27-28), Country Joe & the Fish (3/1-3), Ultimate Spinach (3/5-7) and Vanilla Fudge with First Borne (3/8-9). Medium thin semi-gloss stock flyer (silkscreened onto day-glo red paper) is in good to very good (B to B/B+) condition; a bit of light surface wear, a few fairly pronounced thin vertical stress bends, a series of edge dings/tiny nicks and thin bends scattered around the outer edges with a tiny split tear in the lower right margin (sealed on the reverse), a trio of wedge-shaped tape pulls and a few tape shadows on the reverse, otherwise fine. INCREDIBLY scarce (and EXTRA-VIBRANT) early-'68 Philadelphia concert artifact featuring an unbeatable lineup of talent, highlighted by none other than Jimi Hendrix. This piece comes the venue's very first month of operation.
