Between August 1960 and August 1968 I had a bookshop called Elliot's Books at 29 Broadway in New Haven, next door to Cutler's Record Shop. On November 4th of 1966 or perhaps it was 1967, (Dartmouth Weekend) the Indian Neck Folk Festival sponsored a Jefferson Airplane concert at Woolsey Hall at Yale. A wonderful poster was created to announce the event. This poster was displayed in the window of my bookshop and stated that tickets to this concert were available at the Yale Co-op, Elliot's Books, David Dean Smith, or by writing to a post office box at Yale Station.
Forty five years later, I have decided (at age 78) that I must share it. I suspect that this may be the only poster for this concert that remains in existence. It is not signed, unless there is a cryptic signature within the psychedelic lettering that is not plainly visible. The poster is not mentioned in any bibliography or any chronology of Jefferson Airplane concerts. I would certainly appreciate any comments from any of you who might read this.
