Description

 Original 1st printing 11 x 17" concert poster for the Great Society (featuring Grace Slick)* appearing with Big Brother and the Holding Company (pre-Janis Joplin)*, Monty Waters Band, the Skins and the Exiles in a benefit for the Delano Grape Strike, held at Harmon Gymnasium on the campus of the University of California in Berkeley, CA from 4/1-2/1966. *Great Society and Big Brother cancelled and were replaced by Jefferson Airplane and Quicksilver Messenger Service

 Designer unknown/not credited, extra-thin flat stock poster is in excellent (B+) condition; there is a semi-flattened horizontal center crease , along with a tiny nip tear in the lower left margin, a few stray soft handling dings here and there and a touch of edge creasing around the outer margin area, but overall it looks pretty sharp/crisp.

 EARLY UC Berkeley benefit concert poster with a great pre-psychedelic "broadside" design. Read more about the Airplane's activities (including these shows) during this period HERE:
