Description

VERY POPULAR COLOR SCHEME ON THIS ONE

Jimi Hendrix Experience 1970 Sacramento, California Cal Expo Concert Poster. An original, colorful, first-printing psychedelic concert poster promoting the Jimi Hendrix Experience playing at Cal Expo in Sacramento, California at 3:00 PM on Sunday afternoon, April 26, 1970. This is one of the gorgeous ones... a deep, rich, sublime design of purple, orange, green, black and white with a magnificent purple horse and warrior being attacked by a serpent as the central image. Printed on thin, glossy paper, this poster damages very easily.

This was the second date of Jimi's final, Cry of Love tour, which ran from April to September of '70 and would conclude with the last show of his life in Fehmarn, Germany. Jimi was playing with Billy Cox on bass and original Experience drummer Mitch Mitchell on skins by this time, with the poster giving their names up top. It also quaintly informs attendees to "Bring a Picnic Lunch, a Blanket & a Smile." Measures 9 3/4" x 28" and grades to Very Good Plus condition. From the David Swartz Concert Poster Collection. COA from Heritage Auctions.

More Information: The poster has a very small nick of paper missing from the left edge way down toward the bottom. There's also minor creasing on the left edge up at the top, down to about parallel with Mitch Mitchell's name. There are some gentle handling creases to the glossy stock, but fortuitously none in the pretty center artwork.
