Original 1st printing 14&1/8 x 20&5/8" concert/event poster for the 2nd Northern California Folk-Rock Festival, held at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds in San Jose, CA from 5/23-25/1969. Poster lists performances by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Jefferson Airplane, Chambers Brothers, Led Zeppelin, Eric Burdon, Spirit, Canned Heat, Buffy St. Marie, the Youngbloods, Steve Miller, Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, Taj Mahal, Noel Redding (Fat Mattress), Lee Michaels, Blues Image, Santana, Aum, Elvin Bishop, Poco (Pogo), People, Linn (Lynn) County, Loading Zone, Sweet Linda (Tillery) Divine, Cat Mother & the All-Night Newsboys, Doc Watson and the New Lost City Ramblers. Also appeared (not listed): Fritz (featuring Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks) and more. Design by Linda Segul, medium glossy-coated index stock poster is in excellent (B+) condition; there are a couple of nearly-invisible soft horizontal roll bends traversing the image area, a series of VERY tiny pinch/stress dings hiding within the design/lettering, a tiny bump in the top right corner tip and a hint of surface wear, otherwise fine. Not every act listed on the poster performed, but many (if not most of them) did- including Hendrix, who apparently delivered a scorching mid-afternoon set on the 25th.
