Original 1st (1971 post-show commemorative) printing 16 x 22&5/8" concert poster for the Who appearing with Poco and the Bonzo Dog (Doo-Dah) Band at the Hollywood (CA) Palladium on 6/13/1969. Art by (and SIGNED in gold ink (1987) by) Rick Griffin, image is featured in the Art of Rock on page 274 (plate 3.65). Medium-thin flat vellum stock poster is in very good (B/B+) condition; there is a light amount of handling wear, a series of razor-thin hairline scratches and tiny pin-prick spots (press imperfections and a couple of tiny surface chips) scattered around the image area, along with a hint of edge/corner wear, a trace of moisture rippling to the paper and a professionally sealed (almost impossible to see) 1&1/2" vertical tear in the top left center margin, otherwise fine. An overall great-looking ARTIST-SIGNED example of one of Rick Griffin's most enduring (and intense) concert poster images.
