Santana
Concert poster, Grateful Dead and Santana Concert Poster
The image shows a classic psychedelic concert poster by artist Lee Conklin for shows at the Fillmore West in San Francisco from August 27 to September 1, 1968.
Key Information:

Concert Performers: The poster advertises two sets of shows with different lineups. One lineup included Steppenwolf, Santana, and the Staple Singers. The other featured the Grateful Dead, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, and the Sons of Champlin.
Artist: Lee Conklin designed the poster, which is part of the Bill Graham series (BG-134).
Design Significance: The poster's "lion's head" design is iconic and features hidden faces and figures within the mane. Santana was so impressed with the artwork that they asked Conklin to redraw it for the cover of their self-titled debut album in 1969, making the image permanently associated with the band.
