![A classic mid-'70's Rolling Stones poster from an epic show at Knebworth Park but most agree that Lynyrd Skynyrd stole the day!
The Skynyrd story, in the words of Ian Fortnam,
“….a band we’d never heard of launched, without fanfare, into a song that was evidently called Freebird and, as it gradually metamorphosed from gentle uplifting ballad to all-out guitar firefight, the vast audience’s response went from indifference to adulation. I’ve never witnessed a crowd react to a support band in the same way that Knebworth did to Lynyrd Skynyrd. Somewhere between the first chorus and the second verse the band went from unknown names to full-fledged stars.”

Great to have a visit from former Miller Freeman colleague Katie Brennan this Sunday! Come visit us! ![This 1968 poster for the Shrine in LA was a collaboration between two of San Francisco’s Big Five psychedelic poster artists, Rick Griffin and Victor Moscoso. The concert was produced by Pinnacle Productions and partner John Van Hammersveld would have commissioned this - while he was an even more prominent artist and did many of the Pinnacle/Shine posters himself, he was good friends with Griffin and Moscoso. Both artists were involved in the underground Comix movement at this time and that explains the style of this hard-to-find poster.

Where do we start? How about just, Iconic. To generate positive publicity for “Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits,” CBS records commissioned Milton Glaser to design a special poster to be packaged with the album. Taking inspiration from a Marcel Duchamp self-portrait, Glaser depicted Dylan in profile, blackened and looking down, the hair a color-pulsing mop of wavy ropes. It has been hailed as the ultimate expression of the psychedelic style in an American poster. The poster was folded and included with the album and released on March 27, 1967. This original first-printing of the poster has been linen-backed to preserve it and lessen the original fold marks.
Milton Glaser, who died this past June, was among the most celebrated graphic designers in the United States. Founder of New York Magazine, designer of countless posters for Pushpin Studios (which he co-founded), illustrations and magazine logos and designs, Glaser also created the “I ♥ NY” logo.

Especially so because the band rarely promoted themselves with photos of the band members. David Gilmour noted years later as acrimony split Roger Waters off from the rest of the group, “the reason we could go on being Pink Floyd [without Roger] was that we were not promoting ourselves as individuals as much as a band - and a band with a distinctive sound and approach.” Due to small press runs and its location in the heart of Mormon country, posters from the Terrace Ballroom are scarce today.
This October 15th show - part of the North American tour for Atom Heart Mother - came just 5 days after the US release of the album, their fifth. The cover was designed by Hipgnosis, and was the first one to not feature the band's name on the cover, or contain any photographs of the band anywhere. This was a trend that would continue on subsequent covers throughout the 1970s and beyond.
The band played a touring arrangement of Adam Heart Mother without brass or choir, paring it down from 25 minutes to 15 by omitting the collage sections and closing reprise of the main theme.

Great story follows here. The tour of the US in 1970 in support of his second album, “Elton John.” and it followed his “toe in the water” debut shows in late August at the Troubadour in Los Angeles. The shows - featured in the recent biopic, Rocketman - made him an overnight sensation and so after skipping briefly through San Francisco, New York’s Playboy Club and Philadelphia, he went back to the UK to plan a more serious tour that would run from October 29th through December 6.

The March 15th show was Phil’s 33rd birthday. By now, the Dead had established themselves as one the premier live acts in rock, and they were headlining arenas with regularity. On this date, they delivered the first of the 42 shows they would play at Nassau Coliseum.
Bill Graham wanted to do an open floor dance concert with the Dead on the East Coast, something he did every night in San Francisco, but could never do at the Fillmore East as it was a traditional sit-down auditorium. So, he removed all the seats from the huge Nassau Coliseum on Long Island so New Yorkers would be free to boogie! To his shock and dismay he discovered that NY audience (at that point in time) wanted to sit and listen, maybe stand in their seats, but never dance. “Hey, where'd all the seats go?” It was a swell time anyway!
Bittersweet perhaps as just one week earlier on March 8th, they’d lost their first frontman for good when Pigpen passed away at the age of just 27 from a gastrointestinal hemorrhage brought on by years of heavy drinking and illness.
After a riotous wake at Weir’s house with hundreds of people and a more subdued funeral afterward, the band stoically loaded out for the trip east and the next tour, and it was neither the first or the last time the band would compartmentalize devastating circumstances and make a quick return to the road. These shows were the first on a quick 11-show run through the northeast ending at the Boston Garden on April 2.

Deadhead visitor today had been here just after his wife had died in 2019. She had died three months earlier and he was moving on with his daughter, having cleaned out the house and moved 6 miles north to Oyster Bay. After the move, despite being exhausted, nervous energy and continued grief drove him out to walk around in the new town - his daughter was too tired from the move. Wandering around a bit he heard some noise and saw activity and went to investigate.
He peeked his head in the door and there was David Gans, The Voice of Grateful Dead radio, playing guitar and effectively conducting a Grateful Dead singalong with 90 people surrounded by psychedelic rock and Grateful Dead posters at the Bahr Gallery. It was one of those “once in a while you get shown the light,” moments and he said that this occurrence told him that everything was going to be OK.
After he left the Gallery today I remembered him. He came in that night David was playing and he was a wreck. A destroyed human being having lost his soulmate and desperate for support. Oh I remember. And he was totally gobsmacked by having wandered in to this scene and was so thankful and it was like he had stumbled into Heaven or something - surrounded by Deadheads, had a few beers, just beyond ecstatic to have found this community - right down the street. Yes, it was going to be OK.
Today he was strong, healthy, enthusiastic - a new man. Jeff called in the story to David Gans and Gary Lambert on Tales from the Golden Road, the GD talk call-in show today. Thanks Jeff. And thank you David Gans.

Artist Eric Engstrom writes, “Still the best poster I ever did – the strongest graphically anyway. The image of Peter was based on a blurry photograph; I hand drew his visage and my own ‘WHO’ logo using a Rapidograph pen that constantly clogged up. I doubt anyone ever envisioned that they would someday become collector items.

The Boston Tea Party was Boston’s Fillmore Auditorium and Avalon Ballroom rolled up into one. While just as enthusiastic, the East Coast intellectuals were a different brand of hippie than their free-flowing cousins out West. So it was with their poster designs. The Tea Party opened in January 1967 and by mid-year manager Steve Nelson knew he couldn’t compete with the San Francisco School of artists and so he and designer Bob Driscoll went in the opposite direction and embraced minimalist and often black and white designs.
The Boston Tea Party posters were printed in small quantities and supplemented the usual distribution on telephone poles, in store windows and on college bulletin boards with volunteers handing them out to people in cars passing through Harvard Square. Most were destroyed or discarded (the minimalist look didn’t exactly demand to be saved hung up on walls) and virtually all are quite rare - like this Allman Brothers poster from November 1970.

Some from Los Angeles have attempted to claim that LA was every bit as important as San Francisco in the hippie revolution. Not quite. But there were many strong and important influences including bands like the Byrds and Buffalo Springfield, The Doors, Canned Heat, Love, and plenty of others.
Reflecting the large and expansive definition of the physical area, psychedelic rock acts were sprinkled around a variety of clubs and small halls such as the Troubador, Whiskey A-Go-Go, Cheetah Club, Kaleidoscope, the Blue Law, The Bank and the larger Shrine Expo Hall and Auditorium. The Los Angelino was not as captivated by the psychedelic posters as the hippies up North and so the collecting passion didn’t take hold and many posters advertising rock concerts in LA during the 1960s are quite rare.
The best-known posters coming out of the LA psychedelic scene were by artist John Van Hamersveld. Van Hamersveld was a partner in Pinnacle Productions which produced many of the most noteworthy late 60s concerts at the Shrine Auditorium and adjacent Expo Hall, near USC. The except here is from John Van Hamersveld’s poster for the Shrine, known as Jimi Hendrix, Beethoven

I get asked this all the time: “Why weren’t there more psychedelic posters coming out of New York?”
One has to lay responsibility at the feet of San Francisco’s Bill Graham – who was probably the greatest long-term supporter and benefactor of the psychedelic poster movement in the Bay Area! Graham, while appreciating the psychedelic poster artist’s argument that deliberately making their posters interesting (but often hard to read) created engagement and enthusiasm for the product, longed for a more straightforward approach. In March 1968, when he opened the Fillmore East, he got his chance.
Graham did a sum total of 7 posters for the Fillmore East, most in the Spring of 1968. But when he realized that he was selling out shows anyway (the Fillmore East was the “place to be”) he opted for a simple, inexpensive and straightforward series of postcard/handbills to advertise his shows. As you see here.

(Stones Touring Party) concert tour of North America in 1972 in support of Exile on Main St, released weeks earlier. It was the band's first performances in the United States since the infamous Altamont Free Concert in December, 1969 and also part of a tour-America-every-three-years rotation that the group established in 1969 and maintained through 1981.
Pasche drew inspiration for this poster from travel posters of the 1920s and 1930s. He did 3 concert posters for the Stones and the cover of Goat’s Head Soup but his real contribution to graphic history was the Tongue and Lip Design logo in 1970, which he was paid just £50, but he sold his copyright to the Stones for £26,000 in 1984.The design first appeared on inner sleeve and cover of Sticky Fingers album. In August 2008, the design was voted the greatest band logo of all time in an online poll conducted by Gigwise.

The Family Dog brought the San Francisco bands and their favorite poster artists to Denver, producing shows from September through December 1967.

Bahr Gallery had 11 pieces on loan to the Exhibition. Let me know if you are interested in any of these pieces.
So, this rather odd 1968 poster stands in stark contrast to the psychedelic masterworks of the late 1960s. The story is that Bill Graham was constantly badgering the poster artists about legibility – as the promoter, he naturally wanted to the viewer to know what band was playing. The psychedelic artists’ position was that it was better to engage the viewer for a long period of time with something interesting and challenging to the eye.
So it was in March 1968 when Bill Graham came up to Stanley Mouse, saw this poster and asked “what’s THAT?!” Mouse said, “it’s just what you wanted, Bill.” Not surprisingly this was the last time Graham brought this subject up although in the long term he managed to find a different stable of artists like Randy Tuten and David Singer who were a little more straightforward.
The image is quite a surreal photo collage that was taken at San Francisco’s Playland amusement park by Bob Seidemann, who would later supply the now-considered-porn photo on the cover of Blind Faith’s 1969 album featuring, like the headliners here, Steve Winwood. [Seidemann was also a personal friend and flatmate with Eric Clapton]. Artist Stanley Mouse is actually in the photo, with his head down holding a doll, and fellow Big Five poster artist Rick Griffin is in the foreground holding a toy guitar.

Also, two tracks of their famous Live/Dead album were recorded at the Avalon in early 1969, The Eleven and Turn On Your Love Light. A rare and early psychedelic beauty from May 1966.

Oh yeah, we are WAY Open! (Til 6 or so). Come on down!! ![Detail from Neon Rose #5 by Victor Moscoso. This image with extreme perspective lines calls to mind some of the crazier fashions to come, such as fat platform-heeled shoes worn by men (OK, I was only 13). Here, the drop shadows tunnel away from you almost to a vanishing point. This show was scheduled for the Matrix which allowed minors (unlike the Fillmore and Avalon) and that’s why, “Minors Welcome,” is mentioned prominently on the poster. Sopwith Camel liked this poster enough to make it the cover of their first album.
For San Francisco's psychedelic Sopwith Camel, life as a Sixties pop sensation ended as quickly as it began. In February of 1967, the band scored its one and only hit, a good-time novelty tune called, Hello, Hello. Within six months — immediately following the release of its debut album — the band broke up having been unprepared and ill-equipped to deal with their success.

The event took place at the Union Ballroom at the University of Utah and was known as the “SDS Ball.” Richard Taylor created this poster, which was later reprinted by Kevin Lyman. Taylor later became the Art Director for the early Tron and Star Trek movie motion pictures. This poster is from the first print run of 300 pieces and it is quite scarce.
The concert is available online at archive.org with the band opening with Morning Dew and included Good Morning Little Schoolgirl, Doing that Rag, Dark Star, The Eleven and other circa 1969 favorites. The tape also features a two part fairly long story by Bob Weir (with plenty of jumping in by Pigpen) about a yellow dog.

The group had a hit with Expressway to Your Heart in 1967 and headed a bill that year in Denver that was advertised with this cool poster by Alton Kelly, one of San Francisco’s Big Five poster artists.
The central image is of a customized drag bike motorcycle with the word “Truth”on a chrome plate. Kelley was a motorcycle mechanic and enthusiast and his monster bike here has a sideways-mounted small block V-8 with headers. Not surprisingly, Kelley chose “Kelly” brand tires for his bike.
This poster is in Mint condition - not bad for being 53 years old - and makes a great gift for you-know-who!

This posters known as Trip and Ski, which is on the right hand border. Trip and ski? It’s possible, although for three days and nights this would only be for the most rugged. You might want to be careful not to partake in those activities at the same time...
Kings Beach is a tiny community on the north shore of Lake Tahoe where it borders Nevada. A step over the line are smalltime downhome casinos like the CalNeva and Crystal Bay Club and you are in the middle of ski country. The Kings Beach Bowl? It would be too cold and snowy to be playing outdoors in the some deep powder basin - indeed these shows were in a bowling alley!
These shows have been released as Dick’s Picks Volume 22 and featured the entire Anthem of the Sun run-through and a 19-minute Viola Lee Blues. We have one framed with a barnboard-style frame - perfect for your ski house!

We found another first-printing 1966 Pooh Peace handbill headlined by the Grateful Dead. This is a sweet little piece measuring 14” wide x 17” tall.
This Mouse Studios design is one of the classics of the era. The central image portrays Pooh and his pal, Piglet and the poster notes, “And the cows are almost cooing, and the turtle-doves are mooing, which is why a Pooh is poohing in the sun.” Indeed, Pooh carries a kilo under his arm and Piglet is smoking a joint as they walk off into the sunset.
This afternoon concert held in the beautiful outdoor amphitheater nestled high up on Mount Tamalpais overlooking the Bay Area was to promote write-in congressional anti-war candidate, Phil Drath. Peace, Pooh, and the Grateful Dead.

Certainly on my Top Ten Most Iconic images to come out of the psychedelic poster movement. [I really need to make that list someday…]. This image is a first printing of the magenta variety and a purple variety will be shipping out of The Bahr to it’s new home in Las Vegas next week. Farewell, my pretty.
Perhaps because the job called for advertising so many shows across two venues, Wes Wilson was able to submerge the headliners behind the simple, mind-blowing summary of the whole San Francisco trip, calling it, “The Sound.” Wilson, more than the other artists of the time, used the nude feminine form as part of his Art Nouveau-influenced flowing representation of the psychedelic experience – not to mention evoking the sexual revolution that was unfolding at the same time.
The woman is joyous, free, and in a state of dancing bliss with her arms and hair framing the headline. She is voluptuous and sensual and calls out to invite the viewer to join in the experience.

Here’s hoping you have a “Thanksgiving dinner that couldn’t be beat,” at home with whatever family and friends these times allow. And despite these times, so very much to be grateful for.
Here’s a very rare 1969 cardboard poster for Arlo Guthrie at the South Shore Music Circus south of Boston - which is still operating btw! It’s a big tent! Note that Joni Mitchell is coming the next week which is less than a month before Woodstock which she so famously wrote a song about but did not play at. A 1969 Joni Mitchell poster?…not many, not many. The poster has a bleed-through yellow block on the reverse where you see the yellow on the front, from the printing process. Signed “Peace, Arlo Guthrie” and stain upper left, could be turkey gravy, you think? Still, no circles and arrows with a paragraph explaining what it was about on the back of this one.
So, Happy Thanksgiving to one and all and remember that if you want to end war and stuff you gotta sing loud!

Released October 15, 1973, it was their first studio album in nearly three years and also the first without Pigpen, who had died that Spring.
Though lyrically the songs continued Robert Hunter's Americana themes, a thread of Earth, seasons and life cycles connects the material, particularly with Bob Weir and John Barlow's culminating suite. This is represented in the album cover artwork, by San Francisco Big Five poster artist Rick Griffin. It has an Earth tone and simple graphics including a woodcut-derived figure of a harvest-reaping man with a wheat bundle and scythe, and a field crow. Hovering above the sea is a skull stretched out in a cloud skull.
Griffin said that the artwork was inspired by a quote from Revelation – And the sea gave up the dead that were in it and death and Hell gave up the dead that were in them, and they were judged, every man according to their works. (Revelation 20:13) He added that the image was designed, to show an alternative to that. I wanted to juxtapose that Scripture with a loving image, an image of loving harvest.”

This show in Ft. Worth, Texas, was put on by a small local promoter named Middle Earth Productions. Images include the familiar Mercury for Quicksilver Messenger Service and he is delivering the message, “Peace over War, at last.” Meanwhile, we have a skull rimmed with a headband of eyeballs and a few graves. The skull’s eyeballs flash with a peace sign and a mushroom cloud. The artist is unknown, but the poster is a superbly executed, hand-pulled silkscreen using fluorescent ink. The large size and very thin paper they were printed on makes the few posters that have even survived were extremely susceptible to damage. This one is in excellent condition.
The Dead played a few Texas shows with Quicksilver Messenger Service. Quicksilver had not toured since late 1968 (they only played a few shows in 1969), but their first two albums remained staples of FM radio, so they were as big or bigger than the Dead. The 1970 lineup included not only the classic Quicksilver quartet (John Cipollina and Gary Duncan-guitars, David Freiberg-bass, Greg Elmore-drums) but Nicky Hopkins on piano and Dino Valenti on vocals. Meanwhile, the Dead were starting to get FM airplay of November 1969’s release of “Live Dead,” and sometime during the month were recording Workingman’s Dead. Patrons recall a very young, still unknown local Texas band called ZZ Top opening the show.

California and Pittsburgh bound. . . . #gratefuldead #aoxomoxoa #concertposterart #mobygrape #sonsofchamplin #livedead #vintageposters ![This is the only authorized reprint of the super-rare poster for what is referred to simply as “Barton Hall,” the show generally regarded by most as the best Grateful Dead performance ever. As we used to say, “the tapes will bear me out.” The show was played on Mother’s Day 1977 which started as a fine Spring day but plunged in temperature and by the time the band took the stage a huge snowstorm was raging outside.
Few posters were produced for the show—reportedly 500 or less—and they were mainly distributed to Cornell Concert Commission members and students, with a small number of posters going to ticket outlets. The poster was designed by Cornell senior engineering student Jay Maybrey, now an orthopedic surgeon practicing in Texas.
ArtRock, owned by Phil Cushway, was a collector/printer/gallerist who obtained permissions and did authorized elegant silkscreen reprints of some of the most iconic posters of the era. This silkscreen was pulled in 1990 and is a much more affordable way to get Barton Hall onto your walls. We have only seen two originals for sale in the last 6 years and we sold one of them for $17,000.

There were 200 sets made in 1988 and this one is numbered 56/200. Because each was watercolored by hand, no two pieces are alike. This set is from the artist’s personal collection and has not been previously owned.
Workingman’s Dead was the Grateful Dead’s 4th studio album and was released on June 14, 1970. It marked a move away from the overtly psychedelic experimentation of previous albums in favor of Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter's Americana-styled songcraft. Readers of Rolling Stone Magazine voted it the best album of 1970.
These pieces are on display and for sale at our 3rd annual Grateful Dead Exhibition at the Bahr Gallery. We’re open Thursday through Sunday from 1pm-6pm. Stop on by and take a look around!

This represented a departure from many of the Rick Griffin totems that pop up in his other posters from the period.
Although the concert, featuring the Dead and Blue Cheer, was July 11 1968, this piece is a commemorative poster that Griffin designed later—some time in the early 70s.

![This is just the top half of a very rare 1970 poster from Salt Lake City for Pink Floyd. Especially so because the band rarely promoted themselves with photos of the band members. David Gilmour noted years later as acrimony split Roger Waters off from the rest of the group, “the reason we could go on being Pink Floyd [without Roger] was that we were not promoting ourselves as individuals as much as a band - and a band with a distinctive sound and approach.” Due to small press runs and its location in the heart of Mormon country, posters from the Terrace Ballroom are scarce today.
This October 15th show - part of the North American tour for Atom Heart Mother - came just 5 days after the US release of the album, their fifth. The cover was designed by Hipgnosis, and was the first one to not feature the band's name on the cover, or contain any photographs of the band anywhere. This was a trend that would continue on subsequent covers throughout the 1970s and beyond.
The band played a touring arrangement of Adam Heart Mother without brass or choir, paring it down from 25 minutes to 15 by omitting the collage sections and closing reprise of the main theme.

![This poster [with a great backstory so keep reading] just returned from 11 months hanging in the New York Historical Society Museum during their Bill graham and the Rock & Roll Revolution Exhibition. Bahr Gallery had 11 pieces on loan to the Exhibition. Let me know if you are interested in any of these pieces.
So, this rather odd 1968 poster stands in stark contrast to the psychedelic masterworks of the late 1960s. The story is that Bill Graham was constantly badgering the poster artists about legibility – as the promoter, he naturally wanted to the viewer to know what band was playing. The psychedelic artists’ position was that it was better to engage the viewer for a long period of time with something interesting and challenging to the eye.
So it was in March 1968 when Bill Graham came up to Stanley Mouse, saw this poster and asked “what’s THAT?!” Mouse said, “it’s just what you wanted, Bill.” Not surprisingly this was the last time Graham brought this subject up although in the long term he managed to find a different stable of artists like Randy Tuten and David Singer who were a little more straightforward.
The image is quite a surreal photo collage that was taken at San Francisco’s Playland amusement park by Bob Seidemann, who would later supply the now-considered-porn photo on the cover of Blind Faith’s 1969 album featuring, like the headliners here, Steve Winwood. [Seidemann was also a personal friend and flatmate with Eric Clapton]. Artist Stanley Mouse is actually in the photo, with his head down holding a doll, and fellow Big Five poster artist Rick Griffin is in the foreground holding a toy guitar.

![Ah, Wes Wilson’s The Sound,” 1966. Certainly on my Top Ten Most Iconic images to come out of the psychedelic poster movement. [I really need to make that list someday…]. This image is a first printing of the magenta variety and a purple variety will be shipping out of The Bahr to it’s new home in Las Vegas next week. Farewell, my pretty.
Perhaps because the job called for advertising so many shows across two venues, Wes Wilson was able to submerge the headliners behind the simple, mind-blowing summary of the whole San Francisco trip, calling it, “The Sound.” Wilson, more than the other artists of the time, used the nude feminine form as part of his Art Nouveau-influenced flowing representation of the psychedelic experience – not to mention evoking the sexual revolution that was unfolding at the same time.
The woman is joyous, free, and in a state of dancing bliss with her arms and hair framing the headline. She is voluptuous and sensual and calls out to invite the viewer to join in the experience.
