HIGHER END POST-1975 POSTERS

We'll start this page with a few higner-end posters of post-1975 vintage:

Moby Grape, What on Earth, MC Bob Broznan, 10/31/1977, Boulder Creek Theater, Boulder Creek (Santa Cruz), CA; Second Annual KFAT Halloween Party; 11" x 17" poster by Jim Phillips in red, yellow, and black, with incredibly cool image of super-ugly old witch stirring a bubbling pot with the neck of a guitar; for illustration, see The Art of Rock, pl. 4.103. This is almost definitely Jim Phillips' most iconic image and in my opinion one of the coolest posters of the entire 1975-90 period. Not well known before the Art of Rock came out, it was prominently featured therein and became harder and harder to obtain as its popularity spread. Ultimately it was reprinted in a larger size; however, this is the ORIGINAL poster, numbered on the back (apparently all of them were stamp-numbered). Asking $595 for this copy; yeah it is expensive, but this is the first extra I've had in a long time and the image is just so cool....

Roky Erickson & the Explosives, 9/24/1981, The Stone, SF, with Eye Protection, Elements of Style; 9/25/1981, Keystone Berkeley with VKTMS, Eye Protection; approx. 11" x 17" blue/green/yellow/red vertical split fountain poster, punky block lettering with center photo of some kind of demon. Pretty cool looking, effectively combines punk and psychedelic elements. One of Roky's rare 70s/80s Bay Area appearances. VG+, almost NM but with a hint of age and a couple of insignificant dark spots im image. First time I've offered one of these. Uncommon. $125.

The Ramones, 4/11/1980, Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium, Santa Cruz, CA; 14" x 22" cardboard "boxing style" poster with photo of the band over an orange background, and block lettering. For illustrations, click here, here, here, and here. As you can see, it shows some damage from being posted back in the day, but after all, it is a punk poster! And still super cool! Asking $350.

Split Enz, Robin Lane and the Chartbusters, 5/14/1981; U2, Romeo Void, 5/15/1981; Madness, Mutants, the Hoovers, 5/16/1981, all shows at California Hall, San Francisco; presented by Bill Graham Presents and Groovy Music; very early U2 poster (2d US Tour) at a small venue; California Hall was not a very big place, even compared to the Fillmore. Poster is 11" x 16" on fairly thick poster stock; black and white with three panels, one for each show noted above; typeset lettering but with stark, modernistic design. First one of these I have seen, or encountered; presumably a scarce poster. Two copies available; copy #1 is NM, $250. Copy #2, condition solid VG+; one very minor staple hole in center and a hint of minor wear elsewhere, $200. Interesting early U2 item from their pre-stadium days. (*)

David LaFlamme, Leila T. Snake, Cheap Suit Serenaders (R. Crumb), M.C. Scoop Nisker, others, 4/1/? (Date uncertain could be 1977 or 1983), "Temple Beautiful Theatre," 2839 Geary St., SF; "April Fools Day Jamboree" No Nukes Benefit; 11" x 17" thin paper poster by well known underground comix artist the late Spain Rodriguez; sky-blue image of a mushroom cloud with a human face and a suit and tie; red lettering and accents; for illustration, click here. This was a neat event featuring a bunch of well-known performers; "Leila T. Snake" was Jane Dornacker who was a well known radio personality and later a traffic reporter, tragically killed in an on-the-air helicopter accident in New York City while doing traffic reports. First copy of this poster I have seen, supposedly very hard to find. This copy is PERSONALLY SIGNED BY THE LATE SPAIN RODRIGUEZ, "Spain 05. Beautiful NM copy obtained from the artist many years ago, asksing $325.

Seva Foundation Presents a Musical Reunion of Old Friends, including David Crosby, Graham Nash, Arlo Guthrie, Richie Havens, Paul Kantner, Jorma Kaukonen, Jack Casady, Country Joe McDonald, Bob Weir etc., MC Wavy Gravy, 2/13/1994, Masonic Auditorium, San Francisco. This was a SEVA-sponsored reunion of people who played at the original Woodstock; large 19" x 33" silkscreen using the original Woodstock guitar neck and dove logo, with the legend "3 « hours of peace and music"; a take-off on the original Woodstock slogan "3 days of peace and music"; for illustration, click here. These posters were all hand-signed and numbered by artist Alton Kelley; this copy is #529/600. They were sold at the show and if there were any left they presumably went to SEVA; beautiful poster, nice NM copy, $175.

NEW FILLMORE/BILL GRAHAM POSTERS

Jefferson Starship, 4/24/1982, Greek Theatre, U.C. Berkeley (UC/Bill Graham collaboration), 14" x 20" on thin glossy paper with medium blue back ground and bright red- orange "techno" font band lettering. Rather attractive and not well known poster. This copy has 2 diagonal creases in upper LH corner, and minor storage wear due to the thin paper; VG or slightly better overall, $15.

Here are some posters from the "new" Bill Graham/Fillmore series for more recent events held at the re-opened Fillmore since 1987. Some of these are offered here at a fraction of the typical mint copy prices. These posters are gradually becoming increasingly popular.

#F-70, Hot Tuna Acoustic, 12/30/1988, Fillmore; black background with red and yellow lettering, a yellow fish at the top, and a flame underneath ("hot tuna" get it??). Actually a rather nice looking poster for a great show (I was there!), NM- $30.

#F-250, Hot Tuna, Alvin Youngblood Hart's Garage Band, 12/31/96, Fillmore; woodsy cartoonish scene with owl, redwood trees, forest animals with whoopee hats, confetti, champagne, etc., happy hippies waving at them, another owl carrying off a guy with a chainsaw; a bit too cutesy for me, but a nice item for Hot Tuna fans, NM- $20.

F-548, Los Lobos, John Doe, 12/6-7/2002; great color Jagmo art featuring center image of a woman with a wolf's head brushing her hair, nice multicolor lettering and purple-blue sun ray background. NM-, minor storage wrinkle in lower LH corner, otherwise super clean.

NEW BILL GRAHAM PRESENTS (BGP) (AND RELATED) POSTERS

The "Bill Graham Presents" series is a companion to the Fillmore series, covering events BGP produced at locations other than the Fillmore.

Supposedly the first image Tuten designed after Bill Graham's death. Nice NM copy, $40.

BGP #176, David Bowie, 9/15-16/97, Warfield, San Francisco; photo of a woman's face with big piercing blue eyes the pupils of which are two different sizes. 2 nice NM copies, $40 each. (*)

No #, Christopher Hitchens, Michael Ignatieff, Mark Danner & Robert Scheer, Debate American Power and the Crisis in Iraq, 3/15/2003, not a BGP event but included here because it is printed in the same manner as the BGP posters and has nice artwork by Randy Tuten featuring a purple background, fasces on either side, and green/orange lettering in the center; nice NM SIGNED BY RANDY TUTEN in silver sharpie, $27.50.

No #, (BG special event), "Sota Fillmore Dance Theatre Arts" event with Sota Jazz Band and Orchestra, Carlos Santana, and Chester Thompson, 4/11/2000, very attractive image by Randy Tuten with purple background and swirly letters in his inimitable style, in red and yellow green shading. Really nice poster, apparently not given a BG number, NM signed in silver ink by Randy Tuten, $30.

MARITIME HALL POSTERS

This venue started out as the new Family Dog, but was later dissociated from the late Chet Helms and operated as just "Maritime Hall"; they issued numbered posters for several years. Some interesting band lineups on some of these posters, as well as some great art by Jim Phillips, Kelley, and others:

MHP #ID-11, George Clinton & the P-Funk Allstars, 3/9/96, Maritime Hall, SF; great color image by Jim Phillips, featuring a woman who looks like a Mardi Gras dancer with a feathered headdress containing the lettering and surrounded by other psychedelic swirly lettering containing the show info; very colorful and psychedelic.

MHP #23, Gregg Allman, Zero, Chambers Brothers, J.C. Flyer, 10/25/1986, Maritime Hall, San Francisco; B & W on thick poster stock by STANLEY MOUSE, with pair of lips and what looks like a bottoms-up photo of a railroad locomotive in the background; NM-/VG+ (faint storage wear), $27.50.

MHP #27, Unbroken Chain, Third World, Merle Haggard, Michael Rose, Wendy Shaw, Mermen (my favorite current band!); 2/97 (various dates), Maritime Hall, San Francisco, red border with cool watercolor image by Lee Conklin, nice to see him still doing art these days; outer border and lettering appear to be computer generated. Nice NM- $17.

This poster comes in two sizes; an oversize version and this smaller one which is a bit harder to find in my experience. Two NM copies available, $25 each. (*)

Still an interesting item for CCR/Fogerty collectors. Must be flat packed to ship due to thickness of the cardboard, which will run a bit extra. (*)

The Mermen, Last 2 Serve, Horsey, 10/21/1993, DNA Lounge, San Francisco, benefit for the Haight-Ashbury Free Medical Clinic. Super-psychedelic full color 11" x 17" poster, fairly early poster for my favorite Bay Area band; image is hard to describe but is illustrated on the band's website; basically has an orange and pink swirly background, bright blue and two-tone green lettering. Great image, condition NM- with slight rippling, $20.

Bridge School Concert 1999, featuring Neil Young, Pearl Jam, Billy Corgand & James Iha, Sheryl Crow, Lucinda Williams, Brian Wilson, The Who, Emmylou Harris, Tom Waits, 10/30- 31/1999; amazing lineup for these annual Neil Young - produced shows to benefit the Bridge School. Black background, orange border with Halloween motif, reverse image white lettering; attractive poster. For illustration of the image, click here. Nice NM copy, $60; it was framed when I got it and I can try to ship it with the frame at extra cost if desired, or unframe it and put it in a tube.

Looks like Randy Tuten's lettering or the period, but is unsigned. For an image, click here. Nice poster for a couple of these famous summer events that Bill Graham did for several years in the 1970s in this big stadium (I remember seeing the Dead with the Beach Boys there for the first one). Condition solid VG+ with light staple holes in each corner margin outside the image. $60.

Lonnie Mack, 1/23/1987, Sweetwater, Mill Valley, CA; lot of two promotional items relating to a performance sponsored by Village Music, the legendary Mill Valley record store, and Alligator Records: (1) approx. 22.5" x 29" promotional tour blank poster with color photo of Lonnie Mac's "second sight" LP, and dates and of the performance carefully and attractively written in the top and bottom margins of the poster; along with (2) a 17" x 19" promo poster for the Alligator Records "Strike Like Lightning" LP (produced by Stevie Ray Vaughan), PERSONALLY SIGNED by the late Lonnie Mack to "John", that being John Goddard, proprietor of Village Music. From the Village Music archives. Very nice set of posters, asking $95 for the pair.

Pablo Cruise, 10/28/1978, Cal Poly Main Gym, San Luis Obispo, CA; 12.75" x 25" image, nice blue , brown, and light brown image of a woman's face with a hibiscus flower in her hair, style is sort of a cross between Mucha and David Lance Goines, appears somewhat derivative of the latter's style, very nice poster that would frame up well. Nice, clean copy, has a diagonal corner crease in lower LH image, fairly long but out of the image, and a light horizontal handling crease, more like a wrinkle and probably would mostly press out if framed. Attractive, unusual poster & not common, $75.

The Persuasions, The Beatmongers, 6/1/1981, Old Town Bar & Grill, Eureka, CA; 11" x 14" "tweener" size; horizontal, blue on white stock with photo of the Persuasions and typeset lettering. The cool thing here is that this poster is AUTOGRAPHED by the members of the Persuasions; neat item, has a tack hole in each corner and some paper browning like it was on a wall for some time, overall has a nice vintage appearance, neat item $45.

Dinosaurs, Beau Brummels, Cannibal Dynamo, Hoo Doo Rhythm Devils, 7/15/1984, Marx Meadows, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, "the Dinosaurs Present A Free Concert Music in the Park"; crude B & W 8.5" x 12" "tweener" sized item that was probably intended to function as a poster and therefore will be listed as such; basically just B & W crude hand drawn lettering with a crude dinosaur head at the top holding a lettering banner. Uncommon item since it was a free gig, featuring a good lineup of SF Revival bands; NM $30.

Dinosaurs, 9/16/1984, Golden Bear, Huntington Beach (Orange County), California; 11" x 17" B&W poster; not part of numbered series; just has large block lettering featuring band and listing members, gig sponsored by Fender guitars; nice NM copy, $37.50, not generally available,.

Dinosaurs, Slik, S.F. Ninja Society, 9/20/1984, Wolfgang's (Bill Graham's club), San Francisco; not part of the numbered Dinosaurs series but more or less contemporaneous with that series; 14" x 14" black & white poster by Kelley, with head of a T-Rex or some other equally menacing dinosaur, and crossed samurai swords in the background, with very nice stylized lettering typical of the period. This poster doesn't turn up as often as the numbered series but really belongs with it, and should be an essential item for any Dinosaurs fan. One copy left, NM- , very clean, asking $95.

Dinosaurs, Marty Balin, 6/7/1985, Santa Rosa Vets Auditorium, Santa Rosa, CA; 15 x 21.5; attractive color image with clouds in the background and a red dragon flying in the center; not one of the Kelley series but nevertheless kind of a cool poster; nice NM $55.00.

French's Camp, Eel River, CA; 11" x 17", red & blue on thin white paper with image of a tuna fish with sunglasses and a porkpie hat playing guitar; cool image, cool show. Nice NM- copy, $30.

Grateful Dead, 8/17/1986, Boreal Ridge, Donner Summit (Sierra Nevada), California. Billed as the "The Highest Grateful Dead Concert in the World." Concert was canceled due to Jerry Garcia's ill health. 13 1/8" x 20" on high-gloss stock with image of snowy mountains with a red skull rising above the horizon; Kelley-style lettering at the top but it was not one of his posters. There must have been a lot of posters left over when the show was canceled, which were then retailed commercially1 copy basically NM- (was rolled but otherwise clean), $ 35.00.

Gospel Hummingbirds, Charlie Musselwhite, Junior Kimbrough, Angela Strehli, Red Devils, Johnny Nocturne Band, 9/24/1993, Sonoma County Fairgrounds, Sonoma, CA; Sonoma County Blues Festival 1993, approx. 16" x 20", goldenrod paper, nice logo in the center and typeset lettering for performers and ticket block info; red bar at left, not unattractive; solid VG+, close to NM- with just a hint of wear; $19.99.

Jokers Motorcycle Club, 8/22/1987, Second Annual Lake County Poker Run, size approximately 17" x 22" orange and black lettering with a hand holding a royal flush with the Joker on top, couple guys on choppers at the side, this isn't usually my thing but it is a cool poster and after all it does offer "live music." Probably a pretty rare item. Lots of damages, folds along the edges where it was squeezed into too small of a frame, 3" rip at the top gives it authenticity. For illustration, clickhere. Color is even, lighting in illustration makes it look darker than life. Asking $45.

Berkeley Jazz Festival 1980, great jazz/fusion lineup including Keith Jarrett, 5/22, Zellerbach Auditorium; Osar Peterson Trio, Art Blakeley, Betty Carter, 5/23, Berkeley Community Theatre; Ronnie Laws, Hubert Laws, Freddie Hubbard, Lee Ritenour, Harvey Mason, Ralph Macdonald, Abe Laboriel, Jorge Dalto, Chick Corea & Friends, Andy Narell Quartet, 5/24, Greek Theatre; Stanley Clark, Herbie Hancock, Jon Lucien, Alphonse Mouzon, Devadip Carlos Santana, John McLaughlin, McCoy Tyner, Art Ensemble of Chicago, Peter Appelbaum & the Hieroglyphics Ensemble, 5/25, Greek Theatre; an all star lineup. Poster is approx. 15" x 22.5, on very thin glossy stock that does not age very well, nice design; for image, click here I have 6 copies available, in varying condition, clean and no pinholes but with storage damage due to the thin, thin paper. 1 fairly nice NM- with very slight storage wear, $27.50; 1 NM-/VG+ clean but for some minor storage wear, $25; 1 VG+ clean, but for 4" diagonal margin crease in lower LH corner outside image, $15, another one similar but with a diagonal crease at LH side of image, also $15; another one similar with some storage ripples and creasing, $15; 1 VG+ with scuff in upper LH corner and a little bit of minor storage wear, $12.50. All of these are probably better than they sound in the description. (*)

Rolling Stones, 1982, Italy; Italian poster stating "ciao 2001, Rolling Stones, Inserto Speciale A Colori"; apparently advertising a color insert to some newspaper or magazine; red-pink dot matrix background, lettering in white, yellow, and blue. An interesting item for some Stones completist, probably hard to find, but unfortunately badly wrinkles with staple pulls in corners; a couple of edge tears. Hard to price something like this, does $8.50 sound right to you?

Sons of Champlin, Pablo Cruise, 11/28/75, Marin Veterans Aud., San Rafael, CA; 11" x 17" (Thanksgiving show), blue on white paper with rendering of the "Sons of Champlin" album cover and lettering that appears to be by Randy Tuten, although not signed.

Nice local Sonoma County show with an anti-nuclear theme; purple and black image of a guy with a helmet and gas mask on; rather well done, for an image of the poster, click here. Nice NM $35.

Rolling Stones, 1997, Bridges to Babylon Tour, nice 11" x 17" newspaper rack poster on thick stock; this is the type of poster that is stuck in newspaper racks to publicize an upcoming event; this one is advertising the opportunity to "win tickets!" to the San Francisco performance on this tour courtesy of the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper. Nice red, black, and sepia toned poster with smiling photo of the band, large image of Mick at the front, Keith slightly smaller, and the others in the background. 4 of these available, $25 each, all NM, must be shipped flat at modest additional cost due to thickness of the stock. (*)

David Crosby/Graham Nash, 11/21-14/7? (probably '72-76), Zellerbach Auditorium, U.C. Berkeley; 11 x 17 black on thin white paper with Randy Tuten lettering and nice photo of Crosby and Nash, NM $45.

Nice NM- poster, $15.00.

The Band, Jerry Garcia Band, Etta James, Kate Wolf, Norton Buffalo, 7/24/83, Grass Valley, CA; "Sierra Sun" music festival; this is another one of those that I keep thinking is in The Art of Rock, but I guess it isn't 'cause I can't find it now; anyway, I used to have some of these a few years back sold out; now I have a few more copies; features an attractive color central drawing of a Sierra Nevada meadow; lettering below; a bit commercial but has a nice overall look and feel to it. NM $75. (*)

Koko Taylor & Her Blues Machine, George "Harmonica" Smith, Rod Piazza & the Mighty Flyers, Carey Bell Blues Band, Earl King, Roomful of Blues, Jimmy McCracklin, Sonny Rhodes, Little Milton, others, 9/12-13/1981, Stanyan & Haight Sts, San Francisco, CA, 9th Annual San Francisco Blues Festival, 18.5" x 22.5" beautifully silkscreened poster on very thick posterboard in copper, purple, brown and black with central image of Koko Taylor. This is one of the very nicest posters done in the lengthy series for the longest running blues festival in the US, which went from 1973 to 2009. A spectacular artsy poster, much nice than the thin ones that they did in the 1990s on; it is illustrated on the festival's website but they are long since out of it, but I have two gorgeous NM copies here, asking $135 each. NOTE: This includes an extra shipping charge as these are extremely thick and have to be shipped flat packed, at significant additional cost. (*)
