Original 1st printing 18&1/4 x 18&1/4" concert poster for Big Brother & the Holding Company (featuring Janis Joplin) appearing with Love (featuring Arthur Lee) and C.I.A. at the Rock Garden in San Francisco, CA from 3/21-26/1967.

 

 Art by Michael Wood/Pyxis Studios, image is featured in the Art of Rock book on page 196 (plate 2.214).

 

 Medium flat vellum stock poster is in good to very good (B to B/B+) condition; there are a number of thin edge tears, ranging in size from about 1/2-1&1/2" scattered around the outer margin area (six total), plus a series of thin edge creases/light bends in each corner, a slight surface stain/discoloration along one edge (about 3" long, it is along the top in this photo) and a few stray handling dings here and there, otherwise fine.

 

 Very cool-looking original concert poster from the short-lived Mission District nightclub. Read more about the club HERE;
