1969 psychedelic concert poster created by artist Frank Bettencourt for promoter Jim Salzer.Concert Details Date: August 1, 1969.Venue: Santa Barbara Fairgrounds Arena (also known as the [Earl Warren Showgrounds](https://www.facebook.com/scott.kingsbury.2025/posts/on-august-1-1969-led-zeppelin-jethro-tull-and-fraternity of man performed at ear/1048696860879719/)) in Santa Barbara, California.Lineup: Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, and Fraternity of Man.Interesting Trivia The Name Misspelling: The artist was unfamiliar with the headline band at the time, resulting in Led Zeppelin's name being misspelled as "Led Zepplin" on the artwork.Early Career Standout: Both Led Zeppelin and Jethro Tull were touring North America fresh off their debut eras, making this a legendary billing for classic rock collectors.Ticket Pricing: As noted at the bottom right of the poster, original tickets cost a mere $3.50 in advance or $4.00 at the door. Collectibility and Authentication Because this image is listed in the Art of Rock archives (cataloged as AOR 3.41), original first printings are highly valuable and regularly sell for over $1,000 at specialized auction houses. Original printings were run by Pacific Printing on thin stock paper, though a verified second printing and various bootleg reproductions have flooded the market over the decades. |
