Item Description
12-13/16x21-1/16" first and only printing poster for June 7-9, 1968 concerts that took place at Grande Ballroom in Detroit, MI featuring Cream, MC5, Carousel, Nickel Plate Express, St. Louis Union, the James Gang (w/Joe Walsh) and Thyme. Poster design by Gary Grimshaw features stylized photo image of Cream members Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker set against paisley bkg., giving the poster its "Paisley" nickname. Concert was part of tour in support of Cream's landmark 1967 album Disraeli Gears and the biggest hit of their career - Sunshine Of Your Love - had just ended its half-year run on Billboard's singles chart. Poster has tiny pin holes at top corners and bottom has horizontal crease running across lower edge .5" from bottom. Top/bottom margins neatly trimmed now missing promoter Russ Gibb text at top. Reverse has aged pieces of masking tape added on back that do not show through on front due to thick paper stock. A small area of surface paper damage at lower left corner, not visible from front and a 1" horizontal puncture to bottom edge of image area blending evenly. Fine overall and will display above grade once framed. These Grande Ballroom posters were produced in much lower quantities than their Bill Graham Fillmore counterparts making this a rare opportunity.
