Date: June 17-18, 1966.
Series: This poster is part of the Bill Graham (BG) series of concert posters, designated as BG-11.
Artist Style: Wes Wilson was known for his psychedelic poster designs and for pioneering a distinctive lettering style that made text appear to "vibrate". This particular poster's design features bulbous, undulating lettering.
