Poster Details
Concert Date: August 11, 1968.
Venue: Coliseum Ballroom ("The Col") in Davenport, Iowa.
Artist: The poster was designed by Leslie Bell, who was a local college student at St. Ambrose University at the time.
Opening Acts: The Soft Machine and The Night People were also on the bill.
Notable Features: The artwork is known for its intricate details and hidden figures, including a partially hidden face of the current U.S. president at the time, LBJ (Lyndon B.
