• Here’s a 1967 eyeball-melter from Los Angeles for Gregg and Duane Allman in their earlier band, The Hour Glass. This poster is very rare and clearly has had alot of love from it’s previous owner. Speaking of Love, they were the headliners at this opening of a new nightclub in Torrance, CA called The Blue Law which would later become The Bank. Canned Heat joined Love and the Hour Glass for the December 15-17 shows. Too bad the artist is unknown because they did a great job on this psychedelic Big Five pastiche. I haven’t finished researching this piece or even pricing it but it’s framed and in the Gallery, open 2:00-5:30 Thursday through Sunday so stop by and have a look!

  • Missing Watkins Glen? There were only 600,000 of you at this epic July 28, 1973 one day blast featuring The Band, the Grateful Dead and The Allman Brothers. They played a legendary soundcheck the day before and then regaled the crowd on the 28th. Interesting note - if you google pictures of the crowd, notice that 90% are wearing blue jeans - Levi Strauss’ glory years, for sure! But I digress. This piece above now presides over a customer’s office in Chicago - but we have another first-edition and we use the faded-green barnboard type of frame (goes well with denim) and a thick cream mat that you see here. We only use crystal-clear Museum glass, of course! It’s rare and historic so not for the faint of heart, but looking and remembering those days are free! Meanwhile, Enjoy this summer day!

  • Bahr Gallery contributions out on the wings. Love to see where our clients hang these great works of art! These two pieces are in their new home in Florida. Since Live music is on hold, why not bring these vintage concert posters into your living room or office instead? We ship anywhere in the US. Have a nice day!

  • One of the first Bill Graham Fillmore posters to use color, BG-6 from May 13-14 1966 shows Wes Wilson trying out his psychedelic wings with shimmering stripes and funhouse-mirror distorted lettering. In this case the lettering was squeezed and shaped, blown-up and bulged to fit every available bit of space. This is an original first printing in nice condition and as a Spring of ’66 poster sits smack in the evolutionary line from the standard “boxing style” posters to psychedelia.

  • In the Top Ten of the psychedelic poster genre? This is “Vanessa” by Detroit artist Carl Lundgren for two November 1967 shows featuring the James Cotton Blues band, Detroits’ MC5, and Billy C and the Sunshine Band. The image is indeed Vanessa Redgrave, from a photo by Victor Skrebneski that was taken to promote her role in “Isadora,” about the avant- garden dancer Isadora Duncan. Redgrave was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress in the role. But I digress. These posters for shows at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit (their answer to the Fillmore and Avalon in SF and the Boston Tea Party in Boston) are very rare as they were printed in small quantities. Supposedly there were 500 original Vanessa’s printed and they are on the large side and printed on thin paper so many have been wrecked over the years. In fact this copy has restoration for a small tear and some corner damage (most do). I am changing the color of the mat and while she was out of her frame I took some pictures to further document her glory. Enjoy and have a good day!

  • “The Sound,” one of the most iconic psychedelic rock posters, holds up very well in black and white. There were actually three “OP-1” versions, printed before the concerts to promote them, one with purple lettering, one with magenta and this one in black and white.

  • This March 1968 poster for “The Cream” at the Shrine in Los Angeles was designed by John Van Hamersveld, an American graphic artist and illustrator who designed record jackets for pop and psychedelic bands from the 1960s onward. Among the 300 albums are the covers of “Magical Mystery Tour,” “Exile on Main Street," and “Skeletons from the Closet” by the Grateful Dead. He burst onto the scene in 1963, designing the iconic poster for the surfing film, The Endless Summer. He served as Capitol Records' head of design from 1965 to 1968 and worked on the artwork for 54 albums by Capitol artists including the Beatles and the Beach Boys. He designed a total of 14 posters in 1968 for rock acts appearing at the Shrine. “The” Cream traveled down to LA having just finished a run of shows at the Fillmore West and Winterland in San Francisco where they recorded live for their third album, Wheels of Fire. Their second album, Disraeli Gears, was not released in the U.S. in November 1967 so by the time these concerts took place the record and the band were still very much top of mind (the album reached #4). Enjoy some ice cream this summer!

  • This late 1968 piece was the third and final Rick Griffin and Alton Kelley collaboration (Griffin often collaborated with Victor Moscoso, and Kelley of course worked with Stanley Mouse on virtually all of his compositions). Called Abba-Zaba, it’s a good example of both artists' use of contemporary advertising in their design. The poster features a taxi cab checker design with an "Abba-Zaba" candy bar wrapper and image of monkey working on transistor. Abba-Zabas were taffy candy bars with a peanut butter center made at the time by the Cardinet Candy Company of Oakland, across the Bay from San Francisco. Perhaps a favorite of one of the artists? This poster - which has a nice big Rick Griffin extra signature - advertises the very first US tour by Deep Purple who had a hit single, “Hush,” that reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. It would be a few more years before they hit the real Big Time with the heavy metal classic, “Smoke on the Water.” Here they opened for SF-based It’s a Beautiful Day who were getting massive Bay-Area airplay with their hits, “White Bird,” and “Hot Summer Day.”

  • The Family Dog, producer of most of the famous Avalon Ballroom shows, lost their lease there in November, 1968 and founder Chet Helms began to get involved in other pursuits. But here, in January 1969 he was back and hence this show (at Winterland) was called the Family Dog Revival, headlined by Frank Zappa and his Mothers of Invention. Looks kind of “4th of July-ish” don’t you think? Have a great weekend! (we’ll be closed for the 4th).

  • This first-printing Matrix poster for the Blues Project from February 1967 was done by Victor Moscoso, one of the San Francisco Poster Artist’s Big Five. It features the negative image of a seated pin-up woman from the silent screen era. Moscoso reprinted this poster later but used the positive image. Moscoso's style is most notable for its visual intensity, which was obtained by manipulating form and color to create optical effects. He used clashing, vibrating colors and deliberately illegible psychedelic lettering to command attention. The Blues Project was a band from the Greenwich Village that was formed in 1965. Their songs drew from a wide array of musical styles. Their first album, “Live at The Cafe Au Go Go,” was released in March 1966 and met with moderate success and the band toured the U.S. to promote it. While in San Francisco two months later in April 1966, the Blues Project played at the Avalon Ballroom to rave reviews. They released their second album, Projections, in November 1966 featuring an eclectic set of songs that ran the gamut from blues, R&B, jazz, psychedelia, and folk-rock including an instrumental, "Flute Thing,” which became an underground radio staple. The band fell apart after appearing at the Monterey Pop Festival in June 1967 and two members went on to form Seatrain, while Al Kooper and Steve Katz went on to form Blood Sweat & Tears.

  • This colorful poster from 1967 was one of the most popular of the Fillmore series designed by Bonnie MacLean. MacLean was married to Bill Graham and stepped in to design many Fillmore posters after Wes Wilson was fired. MacLean, who sadly passed away this winter, had taken art classes at Pratt before moving West in the mid 1960s and she shows a slightly more restrained or studied psychedelic style. Here, she playfully invokes the bands playing that night, depicting the Quicksilver Messenger Service delivering the dates while flying over the Grass Roots and a Mad River.

  • Here’s the central image from a Joe Cocker - Little Richard poster from October 1969. The poster was a rare collaboration between two of promoter Bill Graham’s favorite poster artists of the day, combining this David Singer surrealist central collage with Randy Tuten’s lettering. Joe Cocker was at the height of his powers for these shows at the Fillmore West following his triumphant performance at Woodstock a few months earlier. Little Richard needs introduction and both were dynamic and exciting performers who could bring the house down and no doubt did so in the fall of 1969.

  • This early Avalon poster features the Doors, the (Steve) Miller Blues Band and Haji Baba for an April 1967 performance. The design was created by Victor Moscoso and is very popular, as well as quite scarce. The popularity of both The Doors and the beautiful design has led to this poster being printed twice but this is an original first-printing as denoted by the faint blue dot to the left of 1967 at the bottom. Moscoso turns you on an angle and lets you look through the blinds to see the faint image of a nude woman dancing with abandon. The lettering and colors are fantastic: both eye-popping and at least somewhat legible. This piece is sold but the buyer has graciously allowed us to keep it in the current Moscoso Exhibition until August. Victor Moscoso was almost the local House Artist for the Doors in the first half of 1967, this being one of 4 posters he did for them playing at the Avalon Ballroom (March 3-4, April 14-15, May 12-13, June 1-4) plus a poster for the tiny Matrix from March 7-11. The Doors’ first album had been released in January and they toured madly, logging more than 240 shows during that year. Enjoy the first weekend of summer!

  • Swipe to see the poster for this show - the Grateful Dead’s first ever at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco. The poster advertised a poetry reading and "dance concert" presented by the Straight Theater, but held at the Avalon. This absolutely classic venue hosted The Dead 28 more times from 1966 through 1969. Two tracks on their iconic "Live/Dead" album were recorded there in early 1969, The Eleven and Turn On Your Love Light. This 1966 show, replayed by Sirius XM’s Dead channel, is of remarkable high quality for the times. The poster itself eschews all images but the interlocking zig-zag neon stripes do a number on your eyes. Artist George Jacobs from Kansas City was new in town but soon commissioned this poster. George approached Wes Wilson and asked, “What color contrast would give the design the most jump?” Wes’s answer; “red & blue”. The results were an outstanding work, as brightly vibrant - leaping off the page today, as it was decades ago and we have one available. Enjoy, and have a nice day!

  • 53 years ago today Jimi set the world on fire at the Monterey Pop Festival. Less well known was the fact that he had been doing this for a few months at shows, but then, practice makes perfect. The poor Grateful Dead were sandwiched between The Who, who famously destroyed their instruments, and Jimi. Scroll to see the first-printing original poster for Monterey Pop - which we do have in stock. Have a great day!

  • Answer; the amazing Lee Conklin willed together this Fillmore poster together for the Jeff Beck Group in 1968. Here is some trivia for you: the instrumental "Beck's Bolero” had as a musician lineup: Jimmy Page on rhythm guitar, John Paul Jones on bass, Keith Moon on drums, and Nicky Hopkins on piano. Supergroup!

  • Looking for a super rare Allman Brothers piece? That’s right, the Hour Glass listed below was Gregg and Duane Allman! Due to the Allman’s eventual move East and formation of the eponymous band in late spring of 1969, Les Brers largely missed the heyday of the psychedelic poster movement. So if you are looking for psychedelic Allman posters, you’re looking at the Hour Glass. Based in LA, they came up and played 5 sets of dates in San Francisco that were immortalized in posters by Mari Tepper, the late great Bonnie MacLean and here, by Mouse and Kelley! These were the second set shows in San Francisco for the boys, just before Christmas. And, wait! Buffalo Springfield? A truly great and underrated band. This poster also features and extra signature by Stanley Mouse. Have a nice weekend everyone!

  • A wonderful Bonnie MacLean (1939-2020) Pink Floyd poster from late October 1967. This was to be the first United States appearance by Pink Floyd, “From England." Unfortunately, their manager screwed up the band’s visas and they were not able to fly to the U.S. until November 1 – after these dates, and also missing their initial shows at the Cheetah Club in Los Angeles. They finally got to play at Winterland November 4, opening for Big Brother. The Floyd had just released “Piper at the Gates of Dawn” two months earlier and were at the height of their Syd Barrett period but Barrett was well into the bizarre behavior that led to his replacement by David Gilmour by the end of this year. The Nehru Jacket pictured here is a hip-length tailored jacket with a high, closed Mandarin collar that was popular in the late 1940’s and afterward among the Indian rich and powerful (Indian meaning “from India). They became popular in the late 1960’s as the hippies explored many other cultures, religions and fashions. Note the sash advertising the Fillmore as the venue. Rated EC for Extremely Cool.

  • THE Monterey Pop Festival, June 15-17, 1967, was the first widely promoted and heavily attended rock festival, attracting an estimated 90,000 people over the three days. The event was produced in just seven weeks by John Phillips of the Mamas and Papas and producer Lou Adler. The song "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)" written by Phillips and sung by Scott McKenzie, was released in May 1967, to promote the event. The documentary, Monterey Pop, by D.A. Pennebaker, was released in 1968 and, along with Gimme Shelter and the Woodstock film, form the triad of top rock festival documentaries [IMHO]. Monterey Pop featured the first major American appearances by Jimi Hendrix and The Who, and one of the first major public performances by Janis Joplin. The influence of the Monterey Pop Festival is unquestioned, embodying the themes of California as a focal point for the counterculture and is generally regarded as one of the beginnings of the "Summer of Love" in 1967. The Who smashed their instruments amid smoke bombs, Jimi Hendrix burned his guitar, and Janis Joplin mesmerized the audience including a famously open-mouthed Mama Cass in the documentary. There were two original printings of these posters, a very large one which was stapled to boarding and phone poles and the smaller one (here), used in storefronts. The foil paper used for the production of these posters is highly susceptible to damage and most copies have creasing and other problems. Maud Allen, pictured in this poster, was a pianist-turned-actress, dancer and choreographer who is remembered for her "impressionistic mood settings".

    THE Monterey Pop Festival, June 15-17, 1967, was the first widely promoted and heavily attended rock festival, attracting an estimated 90,000 people over the three days. The event was produced in just seven weeks by John Phillips of the Mamas and Papas and producer Lou Adler. The song "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)" written by Phillips and sung by Scott McKenzie, was released in May 1967, to promote the event. The documentary, Monterey Pop, by D.A. Pennebaker, was released in 1968 and, along with Gimme Shelter and the Woodstock film, form the triad of top rock festival documentaries [IMHO]. Monterey Pop featured the first major American appearances by Jimi Hendrix and The Who, and one of the first major public performances by Janis Joplin. The influence of the Monterey Pop Festival is unquestioned, embodying the themes of California as a focal point for the counterculture and is generally regarded as one of the beginnings of the "Summer of Love" in 1967. The Who smashed their instruments amid smoke bombs, Jimi Hendrix burned his guitar, and Janis Joplin mesmerized the audience including a famously open-mouthed Mama Cass in the documentary. There were two original printings of these posters, a very large one which was stapled to boarding and phone poles and the smaller one (here), used in storefronts. The foil paper used for the production of these posters is highly susceptible to damage and most copies have creasing and other problems. Maud Allen, pictured in this poster, was a pianist-turned-actress, dancer and choreographer who is remembered for her "impressionistic mood settings". Here, she is pictured as Salome, in costume in 1908, for the play (which she wrote), Visions of Salome, where her version of the Dance of the Seven Veils became quite famous back in the day.

  • This piece is yet another classic Rick Griffin design that was so strong visually it thrived in black and white. Grateful Dead and Blue Cheer at the Shrine near LA, July 11, 1968. What is it? Some sort of antlered creature wrapped up in the scarves like a 1920s auto racer, hands tight on the wheel, with a background of crossbones and a halo of skulls. Whoa! This represented a departure from many of the Rick Griffin totems that pop up in his other posters from the period. This poster did not advertise the concert - its a commemorative poster that Griffin designed later—some time in the early 70s. These posters were then sold through Griffin’s company, California Graphic Exchange. There is a well-known reprint from Psychedelic Solution and some pirated copies. This is a first printing, signed by Griffin who passed away far too early in 1991.

  • Need a little Love right now? Here is “Lovelady” by Mouse & Kelley which was the poster immediately preceding Libertie, posted yesterday. So these shows were in early March 1968 at the Avalon featuring Love an LA-based band with a smattering of hits and a huge influence (Robert Plant, Jim Morrison, Jesus and Mary Chain are a few). This is a slightly well-handled first printing that was sold - but I have two others in near-mint condition, also signed by Mouse. A wonderful juxtaposition of swirling art nouveau hair on one side matched with blank space on the other. The rich green and purple colors are hypnotic. Very much a homage to the Art Nouveau period and Alphonse Mucha in particular. One of my very favorites.

  • How cool is this piece for a Trips Festival in 1967 in Portland Oregon? The original Trips Festival was held in San Francisco in January 1966, and the scene was repeated in events like this one in Portland. The Wailers were already a legendary band in the Seattle area, even though they had recently changed their sound to more of a folk-rock style. The remaining bands in the lineup were primarily dance bands, generally from the Portland area. The event was held on a Sunday at the Portland Armory behind the Blitz Brewery. “Booths, dancing, films, fashion!” All for $2.50.

  • 1982 Manors Downs poster by Austin-based artist Micael Priest. My goodness, what could he be feeding his horse? Both sure look happy and so are we as we are OPEN today until 6pm, cranking tunes with the doors and windows a-flyin’! Come on down! July 31 was the day before Jerry Garcia’s birthday, and the band hit Austin after three nights at Red Rocks. It was 900 miles away, only to turn around and head back up to Oklahoma City for a 2pm show the next day, but Manor Downs was managed by Frances Carr and Sam Cutler - Cutler had been the Dead’s tour manager Dead for a number of years - and so they were visiting friends. Indeed the show, has been officially recognized as the 1982 entry on the "30 Trips Around the Sun” box set, went to 1:30am with the party no doubt continuing on to celebrate Jerry’s 40th.

  • This popular and enduring image used to promote two 1977 Pink Floyd concerts. The flying pig became an icon of the band and artist Randy Tuten used it to anchor this very cool poster much in the Deco travel poster style. This is one of the most sought out Bill Graham posters from the late 70s and is becoming increasingly more difficult to locate a first-printing like this one in very good condition, because, let’s face it, it’s probably been displayed, taken down, moved, re-displayed and more, many times over the last 43 years.

  • "Memorial” by Alton Kelley. Grateful Dead at Carousel Ballroom, Memorial Day Weekend, 1968. A classic Grateful Dead image of the psychedelic era. The fact that the skulls could be seen to reflect the horrors of the war in Vietnam adds to the iconic nature of this poster. This disturbing, yet colorful design illustrates a darker reflection of the national day of remembrance. This and 180 other framed first-edition posters are available for online browsing and purchase - Father’s Day is coming up. The Carousel Ballroom was an attempt by several of the San Francisco bands in managing their own music venue. The experiment, which only spanned about 5 months in 1968, failed due to the bands’ obvious lack of business prowess. That, paired with the questionable ethics of Grateful Dead manager Ron Rakow, led to the Carousel Ballroom’s demise. Additionally, Bill Graham did not take well to the competition and did everything he could to ensure the venture failed. Although the Carousel was short lived, it inspired a series of posters that are amongst the best of the entire genre of 1960's psychedelic concert posters.

  • Quintessential photo of Country Joe McDonald at Monterey Pop Festival June 1967. Note reflection of the festival crowd reflected in his sunglasses. CJ & the Fish produced classic and powerful psychedelic music with catchy lyrics, searing electric guitar and classic period-organ fills. Many many great songs defining the San Francisco Sound on the first two albums, "Electric Music for The Body and Mind" and "Feels Like I’m Fixing to Die,” (both 1967) and the next four albums surprisingly strong as well although mixed with a bit more goofy detritus ala After Bathing at Baxters. Under-the-radar. Highly Recommended. Photo by Elaine Mays.

  • This poster by David Byrd advertised the last month of Bill Graham shows at the Fillmore East. When Bill Graham took over the Village Theatre in 1968, it was unused and had fallen into disrepair. Despite the deceptively small front marquee and façade, the theater had a substantial capacity of about 2,700. Opening on March 8, 1968, the Fillmore East quickly became known as "The Church of Rock and Roll," with two-show, triple-bill concerts several nights a week at 8 pm and 11 pm. The Allman Brothers played so many shows at Fillmore East that they were sometimes called "Bill Graham's house band"; and the Dead played 43 shows there. Because of changes in the music industry and large growth in the concert industry (like the increased prevalence of arena and stadium bookings), Graham closed the Fillmore East after only three years with the final concert on June 27, 1971. These and all Bahr Gallery framed pieces are now online for your browsing pleasure.

  • This (Steve) Miller Blues Band poster from early 1967 features a standing pin-up image of Theda Bara, a famous sex symbol and vamp from the silent screen era. Victor Moscoso notes that this was, "My first psychedelic pin up and the first to carry the “Neon Rose” name. One of my more popular posters back then and now. It was printed 3 times.” [This is a rare first-printing]. Moscoso credits his Yale professor Josef Albers as the influence for a signature feature of his work: the use of vibrating colors. Although Day-Glo or fluorescent inks were widely available in the 1960s, Moscoso declined to use them, relying instead on color juxtapositions to replicate the hyper-saturated color illusions associated with the use of hallucinogenic drugs. Have to say playing with Instagram filters is really fun with this piece! (Chose Clarendon)

  • These 1966 Labor Day shows highlighted 4 of the 5 top San Francisco bands (missing only Big Brother) and for variety Bill Graham tossed in Motown’s Martha and the Vandellas, for which Graham charged the princely sum of $3.00 per ticket. This was the first time that artist Wes Wilson would incorporate a nude figure into his Fillmore poster art and it became a recurring theme in his work for the remainder of the time he worked for Bill Graham. This illustration of the woman in motion demonstrated Wilson’s technical skill and perspective. Wilson’s nudes were typically expressionless, almost floating, and depicted in a realistic non-sensational way.

  • This Wes Wilson poster was printed using a “split fountain” technique. The colors are pink, pink to orange, orange to blue, and blue, on a field of black. The psychedelic posters were given to the printer in black and white with instructions as to what colors to lay where. The artist was typically present for the pressing and adjustments to the colors were made on the fly. Very much then, the printers were an important part of the process. Hippies tended to be fascinated by things related to Native Americans, so it is no surprise that the psychedelic artists often employed Native American imagery. This mask or totem pole face was likely modeled on the Northwest Indians – the only ones in the country who created totem poles—and was readily adaptable to psychedelic interpretation, as Wes Wilson did here.

  • First Printing, signed by Wes Wilson – a real classic for a June 1966 bill featuring the Jefferson Airplane, and The Great Society. Interestingly, The Great Society was featuring Grace Slick as lead vocalist at this time and they - not the Airplane - had written and were playing both White Rabbit and Someone to Love! Jefferson Airplane and Great Society were occasionally on the same bill together and when original Airplane vocalist Signe Anderson quit the band in October to take care of her baby, this left the opening for Grace Slick to replace her on October 16, 1966. Slick brought both songs to the Jefferson Airplane (Someone to Love was renamed Somebody to Love) and they became the Airplane’s biggest hits.

  • Cover of September 1995 issue of Guitar Player, Jim Marshall photo. This image was blown up (it’s 18 x 24 and hangs behind my desk), framed, and given to me as a farewell gift from the Music Group at Miller Freeman where I worked as a muckily-muck at the time. My family and I were decamping to run the NYC office. You may recognize something odd about this cover - no cover lines! Where are the “7 New Licks by Eddie Van Halen,” or "Clapton’s Layla Solo, Transcribed!” Nothing. Nothing that typically had to clutter the cover of a magazine to sell copies on the newsstand. But a brand-new batch of photos had turned up - this one never seen before. Jimi. Ji-MI! Did an issue with a photo like this need cover lines? It was still a subject of much internal debate and high risk but this was the call that was made. It produced Guitar Player’s biggest newsstand sell-through of all time.

The Dead were known for playing at many benefits for others, but this was the first benefit for them! On January 31, 1970, they were busted for drug possession after a gig in New Orleans and so on February 23, just 3 1/2 weeks later, the leading San Francisco bands along with Bill Graham staged a benefit show to raise money for their legal fees. The bust was later immortalized in the song, Truckin’, "Busted, down on Bourbon Street, Set up, like a bowlin' pin….” The skeleton actor, in blood-red jester outfit, bound by ball and chain, looks like he aims to make his point defending the band with his sword, the background of skulls implying the legions of similar offenders perhaps? behind [or maybe a jury of their peers…]. All of our inventory is online now and searchable by band! (Juno filter)

  • Cuomo is shutting down NY state businesses effective Sunday night so we will be open open open Fri-Sat-Sun from 12:30-6:00pm if you would like to gaze at a valuable vintage psychedelic poster in your office instead of your cratering stock portfolio - it’s time to diversify, no? I’m not sure if I will be able to be open by appointment or not after Sunday - right now I am assuming (and hoping) that answer is yes. I will be working in the Gallery Tuesday through Sunday afternoons with the door open but the closed sign on so I don’t get hauled off to jail leaving so many beautiful pieces of art as lonely orphans. Another reason to come over an adopt one of your own! Oh yes we do have this poster - the original, first edition.

  • OK, here we go. Bahr Gallery will be semi-open today, Tuesday, and every day through Saturday, 1-5pm as long as the law allows. There is very little foot traffic here and it is a large high-ceiling place with plenty of room for social distancing and we are disinfecting, Purell-ing, etc... Many galleries are open by appointment only. So are we. But this is where I work and live during the day. I will be here. If you want to stop in, you may. Simple as that.

  • Heard a ferocious Morning Dew on the way back from tennis. It’s the noon “full show” on The Sirius Dead Channel. Hmmm, June 6, 1970....I know I have the poster....and here it is, framed with Museum Glass and signed by the artist. This Grateful Dead poster was made for an historic run of shows by the band. These four nights at the Fillmore West were the very first after the release of “Workingman’s Dead” and featured a rare acoustic set each night. The Dead shared billing with the New Riders of the Purple Sage, as well as Southern Comfort, a very short-lived Bay Area quintet. The work of Fillmore poster artist David Singer is a sub-genre of poster art in itself. Singer’s output was the largest of any single Fillmore poster creator. The artists’ photo collage style sometimes gets overlooked initially as it is not as overtly psychedelic as some of his predecessors’ illustrations but it is loaded with symbolism. Salvador Dali move over! This piece is available along with more than 150 psychedelic masterworks at The Bahr!

  • Don’t freak out!! Bahr Gallery is OPEN Friday and Saturday as usual 1-5 (6 really). We’ll be open next week Wednesday through Saturday 1-6 every day. Take a break and get out. These amazing artworks carry no viruses and did I mention they make great investments? Your enjoyment of them never gets routed, crashes, or gets its yield curve inverted. They are always just as beautiful - maybe even more so when your portfolio is sinking. Just a thought, brought to you by San Francisco’s Big Five, #weswilson #victormoscoso #rickgriffin #stanleymouse #altonkelley
