Historical Context

Psychedelic Art: Wes Wilson is considered a pioneer of the psychedelic rock poster, known for his focus on bold, flowing, and sometimes hard-to-read lettering as the central visual element.
Grace Slick: This concert occurred during a brief period when Grace Slick was the lead vocalist for The Great Society, before she left to join Jefferson Airplane later that year in October 1966. She brought her songs "White Rabbit" and "Somebody to Love" (originally "Someone to Love") to the Airplane, which became major hits for the band.
