About the Item

The original Cream concert poster by F. Bettencourt captures the spirit of the late 1960s psychedelic movement. Created for a show presented by Jim Salzer at the Showgrounds, this poster announces an unforgettable lineup: British rock legends Cream, alongside blues musicians Taj Mahal and the James Cotton Blues Band. This lineup was a testament to the era's fascination with blending rock and blues, pushing musical boundaries and bringing together artists from diverse genres. Cream, known for their powerful mix of rock, blues, and psychedelic sounds, was at the peak of their career during this period. The trio, featuring Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, and Ginger Baker, was celebrated for hits like "Sunshine of Your Love" and "White Room," as well as for their improvisational, experimental style that redefined rock music. Their influence on the development of psychedelic rock and blues-rock made them one of the most innovative and respected bands of the time. Supporting acts Taj Mahal and the James Cotton Blues Band added an extra layer of depth to the concert. Taj Mahal’s unique approach to the blues incorporated global influences, fusing elements of African, Caribbean, and Hawaiian music into his sound. Meanwhile, the James Cotton Blues Band brought pure, electrifying blues, rooted in Cotton's powerful harmonica skills and his experience with legends like Muddy Waters. Together, these musicians created a blend of rock and blues that captivated audiences and reflected the adventurous spirit of the 1960s music scene. F. Bettencourt’s poster design embodies the visual aesthetics of the psychedelic era, a style characterized by bright colors, surreal imagery, and intricate patterns. Posters from this period were not just promotional materials but artistic expressions that captured the experimental and rebellious energy of the counterculture. Psychedelic posters were often collected as mementos, preserving the cultural essence of a transformative period in music history. This original poster by Bettencourt has since become a sought-after collector’s item, appreciated for both its artistic value and its historical significance. It stands as a vivid reminder of a legendary concert and an era when music and visual art came together to define the ethos of a generation.
