Original 1st printing (Maron Litho) 14&3/4 x 22&1/4" (approximately 1/4-1/2" hand-trimmed from the top/bottom margins, including the "Jim Salzer Presents" and "Maron Litho" credits) concert poster for the Yardbirds (featuring Jimmy Page) appearing withMoby Grape, Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band, Iron Butterfly and the West Coast Pop-Art Experimental Band at the Santa Monica (CA) Civic Auditorium on 7/22/1967. Art by R. Tolmach, image is featured in the Art of Rock on page 269 (plate 3.49). Medium-thin vellum stock poster is in good/decent (B to B/B-) condition; aside from the aforementioned edge trimming, there are a few randomly-placed tack holes, several tiny stray handling/stress dings hiding within the image area, a few tiny edge tears scattered around the outer edges, a touch of curl to the paper and a couple of pieces of clear tape on the reverse, otherwise fine. Conditional issues aside, it is still a very bright/vibrant-looking 1st printing example of this somewhat uncommon mid-'67 Yardbirds poster from the Art of Rock.
