Color Illustrations; This is a single piece of paper (17" x 11 1/2" ) folded once vertically, making four pages. The program is in Very Good+ condition. There is one very light wrinkle to the paper (looks like it was formed during the makeup of the paper). There is some slight toning to the edges of the white outer pages. There is one tiny crease / tear to the spine of the program towards the bottom edge. The color illustrations are very bright and vivid. "To promote their concerts in both San Francisco and Denver, Family Dog published a series of innovative psychedelic posters, handbills and other ephemera, created by a group of prominent young San Francisco artists including Wes Wilson, Alton Kelley and Stanley Mouse (Mouse Studios) , Rick Griffin, Steve Renick and Victor Moscoso. Often printed using intensely colored fluorescent inks, they typically featured a mixture of found images and specially drawn artwork. The posters of Griffin, Mouse and Kelly, in particular, were known for the intricate and highly stylized hand-lettering in which the concert details were written out, which sometimes took considerable time and effort to decipher. Original Avalon posters are now collector's items. In a slide show published with the obituary at the time of Wilson's death in 2020, The New York Times included an apparent portrait watercolor of Helmsa book in the foreground has Helms' full name on it.
