Description

Big Brother and the Holding Company "Trip the Light Fantastic" Avalon Concert Poster (Lick Wilmerding, 1967) A rare poster from a benefit show at the Avalon Ballroom. This was an all-ages benefit show for Lick Wilmerding High School in San Francisco. The other groups in the line-up that night were Quicksilver Messenger Service and Universal Parking Lot. This poster grades VG due to both tape marks and tack holes. While it may appear that part of the upper right corner is missing it was actually folded in the printer, and printed on top of the fold. Still this is one of the rarest Janis Joplin posters from SF, with fewer than ten known to exist. This poster measures 13" x 20".
