Poster Details
Bands: Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver Messenger Service
Venue: California Hall, San Francisco, CA
Date: Friday, April 8th (presumably 1966)
Artist: The design is often attributed to the "Radio Days" art collective for modern reproductions, but the original artist for this era of posters was likely a key figure in the San Francisco psychedelic art scene. The style, with its deliberately hard-to-read, wavy lettering, is a hallmark of the psychedelic era and was pioneered by artists like Wes Wilson.
Details: The poster also lists the location as "Polk & Turk" and the time as "9 PM".
This poster is an iconic example of early psychedelic rock art, known for its focus on experimental typography and design that mirrored the mind-expanding experiences associated with the music and light shows of the time. |
