THE WHO Moby Grape FRANK ZAPPA Country Joe JONI MITCHELL 1968 Concert Handbill

Description

This is a 100% guaranteed authentic original (printed before the concerts) tri-folded handbill / schedule advertising a series of concerts at the Schaefer Music Festival In Central Park at the Wollman Skating Rink. It is an 7 1/2 x 4 inch
stiff paper card that is machine-folded in thirds. Closed it measures 2 1/2 x 4inches.  I have pictured the front when it is closed and both the entire inside and outside when opened, please see my scans.
The Schaefer Music Festival, for those that did not grow up in New York, was the premier series of summer concerts.  The series began as the Rheingold Music Festival for the first few years, then Schaefer took over as sponsor and finally Dr. Pepper until the festival was moved to Pier 84 on the west side of New York due to noise complaints from the rich folks that lived on the edge of Central Park.  I have several of the schedules, some tickets, passes, programs, posters and press ready advertisement materials that I will be listing over the coming weeks.
This listing is for the
1968 Season
of the
Schaefer Music Festival In Central Park
and it was a truly stellar year for shows, featuring an astounding cross section of performers and stars in a variety of styles from rock and roll to jazz and folk and in between including THE WHO, ZAPPA, JONI MITCHELL, NINA SIMONE, TRAFFIC, COUNTRY JOE & THE FISH and many more.  Here's the full schedule as listed...
