Description

 Original 1st printing 17&3/8 x 22&7/8" concert poster for Jefferson Airplane's "1968 Texas Summer Tour".

 Art by William W. Bracken, Jr. (photo by Herb Greene), medium-thick flat vellum stock poster (yellow stock version- there is also an orange stock version) is in good/decent (B to B/B-) condition; there are numerous tack/pin/staple holes (all four corners and along the top/bottom center and left/right margins) with a rounded/worn lower right corner tip, along with a slight vertical curl to the paper, a bit of mild toning/discoloration around the band photo, a couple of tiny edge tears, a few stray soft handling dings here and there, a subtle degree of either handling or moisture rippling along the upper right margin and a few light pin-prick surface scuffs here and there, otherwise OK.

As an added bonus, this example has been HAND-SIGNED (in black sharpie) by JA co-founders Marty Balin and Paul Kantner.

 Very interesting low-run Airplane piece from a fairly obscure period in the J.A. touring history; while there is very little in the way of information on this "tour", long-time Texas collector (and author of the Vulcan Gas portion of the Eric King guide) Dr. Dennis Hickey has a partial/used ticket stub for an August 17th show in (most likely) Houston in his collection with a note from the show attendee on the reverse ("Six-hour show!").

 *special thanks to Dennis Hickey for his help on this one!
