Avalon Ballroom 7/20-23/67

Dennis Nolan designed this great image that advertised a four-day series of shows featuring Big Brother & The Holding Company, Mount Rushmore, Canned Heat, and Mother Earth. The image displays vignettes of the Big Brother band members.

The original poster was printed on white index stock and measures approximately 14″ x 20″. The ticket outlet strip is black and the image is black and shades of gray.

A reprint poster was printed on white index stock and measures approximately 14″ x 20″. The ticket outlet strip is black and the image is black and shades of gray. This reprint can be differentiated form the original by the presence of a small black dot between the "U" and "L" of July at the top of the poster. This is listed as RP-3 in Eric King's guide but is more likely the second print.

The second reprint poster was printed on white index stock and measures approximately 14″ x 20″. The ticket outlet strip and the image appear in shades of green. This is listed as RP-2 in Eric King's guide but is more likely the third print.

The postcard comes in three varieties, all of which measure approximately 5″ x 7″:

The Type A card has a “place stamp here” reverse.

The Type B card has a bulk rate permit on the back.

The Type C card has a bulk rate permit on the back and was mechanically addressed and sent to people on the Family Dog mailing list.
