This beautiful poster dates from May 1968 and was designed by David Byrd. Hendrix was at the height of his career at the time of this show and he performed two shows this night. Although not listed on the poster, Sly & The Family Stone opened for Jimi Hendrix. The band was relatively unknown at that point and the crowd heckled it. David Byrd did a masterful job designing this poster and it is considered by many to be his finest work. This poster is also featured in The Art of Rock as Plate Number 2.90. We recently sold one of these in our November 2013 auction, where it realized $10,780. While this piece is not quite of that quality, it is very close and should be of great interest.
Condition: Superb; the only “flaw” is a very slight lightness in the inking on the lower right corner that can be seen in the high-resolution scan.
Grade: Near Mint
Size: 14⅛” x 22″
Estimate: $7,500–$12,500
