Concert Flyer titled
"Hayfever," was designed by artist Wes Wilson for a two-night run at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco.
The shows, held on May 27 and 28, 1966, featured The Leaves, The Grass Roots, and the Grateful Dead. Notably, this poster (identified as FD-10 in the Family Dog series) marks the first time the Grateful Dead appeared on any Family Dog or Bill Graham concert poster.
Key Details & Identification
Artist: Wes Wilson, a pioneer of the psychedelic poster style.
Design: Unlike many of Wilson's other early posters, this one uses purely hand-drawn lettering and ribbon-like designs rather than photography.
Camel Cigarette Text: The fine print at the bottom includes a quote about Camel cigarettes, which prohibits the use of premiums or coupons due to tobacco costs. This was a common "disclaimer" or quirky text filler used in early San Francisco psychedelic posters. |
