Custom Framed Vintage Handbill Display: The Monkees (1967 California State Fair Concert)
This entry showcases an authentic, primary-source piece of 1960s pop rock, television, and counterculture music history: an original vintage 1967 concert handbill promoting The Monkees live in concert at the California State Fair in Sacramento.
Assembled in 1965 for the hit NBC television series of the same name, The Monkees—comprising Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork—became one of the most successful pop-rock groups of the decade. Outselling both The Beatles and The Rolling Stones combined in 1967, the band defined mid-60s youth culture through iconic chart-topping hits such as "I'm a Believer", "Last Train to Clarksville", "Daydream Believer", and "Pleasant Valley Sunday".
Promoting their September 4, 1967, performance at the California State Fair, this original psychedelic concert handbill features colorful pop-art graphics by artist Kady Cames, depicting Davy Jones alongside cartoon clouds, a biplane, and opening acts including Queen Lily Soap. The handbill is displayed alongside a custom silver line-art portrait engraving of the four band members set against a black background, paired with a silver descriptive plaque reading: "THE MONKEES / In Concert at the California State Fair / Original 1960's Handbill".
The entire presentation comes mounted in a double-matted black display frame accented with white inner borders and a beaded black-and-gold wooden moulding. Offered completely unsigned as originally issued for 1960s venue promotion, this vintage piece remains in fine collector condition. Preserved with bold handbill colors, crisp line-art detailing, and clean matting, this framed historic display serves as an essential centerpiece for 1960s pop culture archivists, classic rock collectors, and Monkees enthusiasts.
