Original 1st printing 14&1/4 x 21&3/4" concert/event poster for the 1st Northern California Folk-Rock Festival, held at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds in San Jose, CA on 5/18-19/1968.

 Poster lists performances by Jefferson Airplane, the Doors, Country Joe & the Fish, the Animals, Taj Mahal, Ravi Shankar, Electric Flag, Big Brother & the Holding Company (with Janis Joplin), the Youngbloods and Kaleidoscope (with David Lindley). Also appeared (not listed): the Grateful Dead, Crome Syrcus, Trans-Atlantic Railroad and more.

 Design by Carson Morris Studios, the image is featured in the Art of Rock book on page 232 (plate 2.341).

 Medium-thin flat index stock poster is in BEAUTIFUL near mint (A- to A-/B+) condition; aside from a series of nearly-invisible soft handling dings and a tiny stress crease in the right margin, this example sits right at the top of the conditional heap... VERY sharp/crisp.

 A SUPERB-looking example of this perennially popular Jim Morrison image from the Art of Rock. Check out a fascinating super-8 film clip of Big Brother, the Youngbloods and Jefferson Airplane in action at the Festival;
