This oversized Jimi Hendrix “Explosion” is on display. Did Jimi predict Global Warming? Check out these lyrics from 1968s Up From The Skies: “I have lived here before the days of Ice And of course this is why I’m so concerned And I come back to find the stars misplaced And the smell of a world that has burned And the smell of a world that is burning Yeah, well, maybe it’s just a change of climate....” Jes sayin. Listen to some awesome Hendrix and other music of Woodstock by our musicians playing electric cello and keyboards Sunday night from 6-8, along with your Woodstock stories on open mic, amazing art and refreshments!

Got to meet with Steve Nelson, Manager of the Boston Tea Party 1967-1968 (the BTP was the Fillmore of Boston). He’s also written a terrific memoir of his quite fascinating life in the sixties, pictured here. Recommended. Learned a lot about the minimalist BTP poster style and will have an exhibition in 2020 or 2021 with Steve as a guest speaker.

Check out this little guy! Santana Lion handbill. This was given (returned?) to me by a good friend - we used to go to Ben Friedman’s Postermat in SF’s North Beach, buy some of these postcard/handbills, then go down to Spec Adlers Cafe and Museum - and drink beer and write about the mad fresh Pacific Night to friends Back East. And a night’s raving from back in the day is what’s on the other side!

Mondays can be a pain and here is a character named Peter Pain adopted for this neat Moody Blues and Chicago Transit Authority poster. The psychedelic poster artists were not above borrowing commercial images and using them in their advertising for dance concerts. Peter Pain is the name of a character in Ben-Gay ads in the 1940s and 50s and he was seen inflicting pain on people. Pretty nasty looking dude. Poster by Rick Griffin and Alton Kelley for 4 shows at the Fillmore West in 1968. It’s part of our British Invasion exhibition which closes soon so make plans to come by this weekend!

Fire up the limo and join us for music and fun Friday night 6-8pm! How about this January 1969 poster featuring a backup band for Country Joe and the Fish called Led Zeppelin! Crazy - who ever heard of a band with a name like that? Probably went nowhere. OK, well their first album was released during this set of shows at the Fillmore West and, yes, they were headlining soon enough. Come see this and other vintage first-edition 60s posters featuring bands from the UK in our British Invasion Exhibition, closing June 9 so hurry!

In contrast to the previous post of an extremely psychedelic Lee Conklin poster, here is something completely different. Tired of Bill Graham complaining that the psychedelic posters were illegible, Stanley Mouse concocted this “boxing style” extra legible poster for a Traffic show in 1968. Graham said, what the hell is this?” Mouse answered, “just what you wanted.” This particular poster has an outrageous “Mouse Doodle” Stanley Mouse signature in the middle. Photo (which is actually very surreal and Mouse is in the photo, second from the right) is by Bob Seidemann, who did the (in)famous Blind Faith album cover....I could go on but better to just stop by! 😃🙋🏻♂️

An absolutely sick, melting, color-changing psychedelic gem from Lee Conklin.

This oversized poster dominated my room Senior year of college. Had lost track of it and I don’t own it but did find an image of it on the web. The unfortunate railing over his hand was offset by the kaftan around the leg, for me anyway. Photo is from the Northridge CA Pop Festival in 1969- oddly called “Newport Pop Festival”. We do have the original poster for the festival being framed now for next month’s Woodstock and Other Festivals Exhibition. Opening June 21, 5:30-8:00pm. #woodstock #jimihendrix #jimihendrixposter #posterart

Them, featuring the young Van Morrison, part of the British Invasion Exhibition at Bahr Gallery. This show at the Fillmore in SF, June 1966, followed a three week run at the Whiskey-a-Go-Go in Los Angeles. There, the opening band’s lead singer reportedly studied Van Morrison’s technique closely - that would be Jim Morrison and the then-unknown Doors. Okay that would be enough, but check this out: Van Morrison and Them were playing these songs: Gloria, Turn on Your Lovelight, it’s all Over Now Baby Blue, In the Midnight hour.....OK so now it’s Spring 1966. One show in San Francisco. How likely was it that the members of the Grateful Dead were in the audience checking these guys out that night? I’d say pretty high....jes sayin. These posters tell the story!! #vanmorrison #vanmorrisonandthem #gratefuldead #1966 #fillmore #billgraham #thedoors #posterart #weswilson #psychedelicart #rockposters

Great pre-1973 Pink Floyd show (Nick Masons Saucerful of Secrets) Thursday night at the Beacon Theatre. Special treat: Roger Waters came out and sang and played Gong on Set The Controls for the Heart of the Sun, seem here in first photo. He is approaching the gong in the second pic. A blast. Never thought I would hear these songs live - even the Floyd Tribute bands don’t play them. #pinkfloyd #saucerfulofsecrets #rogerwaters #nickmasonssaucerfulofsecrets #psychedelicmusic

Lee Conklin evokes Hieronomous Bosch in this twisted tale of humanity advertising the Yardbirds at the Fillmore Auditorium In May 1968. This was the Yardbirds last tour and guitarist Jimmy Page was getting itchy, playing extended and experimental blues that would form the basis of his next band. I think you’ve heard of them.

Stunning. Top ten, easy. “Vanessa” features, well, Vanessa Redgrave, in a nude shot by well-known fashion photographer Victor Skrebnewski that was used to promote the movie Isadora. Vanessa received an Oscar nomination for Best Actress in the 1968 biopic of American modern dance innovator Isadora Duncan. The photo was black and white but the psychedelic poster artists were not beyond manipulating color to get your attention. It worked, didn’t it?! Detroit artist Carl Lundgren created this masterwork for a Grande Ballroom Show on Nov 10 and 11, 1967. This poster is both rare and very sought after as only 500 were printed and on relatively thin paper so how many are left 52 years later? Come see this first printing original at the Bahr this weekend, open 1-6 Fri-Sun! #vanessa #vanessaredgrave #carllundgren #grandeballroom #1967 #November10 #isadoraduncan #psychedelicart #detroitmusic #jamescotton

The psychedelic posters of the late 1960s created engagement with the viewer, something today’s digital marketers are desperate for. It sometimes takes several minutes to make out the lettering and take in the meaning of the images, often in a whirlwind of bright opposing colors. Another result of these complex works of art was creating a club, a tribe, to whit; if you could “get it” you were In. #weswilson #victormoscoso #artnouveau #posterart #mouseandkelley #mousestudios #chethelms #billgraham #fillmoreauditorium #avalonballroom #contemplation #1960sstyle

victor moscoso oversized and very subtle poster for Nieman Marcus, October 1967. The poster advertised a (psychedelic) poster show at N-M’s Dallas Headquarter. Can’t imagine what the rich ladies (and I am assuming that was who shopped at Nieman Marcus in 1967...) visiting the show thought. The Horror! Moscoso used this lettering style in several posters including Flowerpot and the Jim Kweskin Rainbow pair of posters.

Looking for a unique Valentines Day gift? How about a first edition 1967 poster of two lovers? Mouse and Kelley created a classic feel for this poster which was much more subtle in design than many of its contemporaries. The lovers drift in and out of the shadows as if lost in their own private world, cloaked to outsiders. The lavender color scheme and lacy filigree underscores the Victorian theme to this work, and of course Victorian homes filled the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood where they had escaped the great San Francisco earthquake and fire of 1906. #uniquevalentinesgift #stanleymouse #altonkelley #1967 #avalonballroom #poster #lavender #quicksilvermessengerservice #artgallery
