This vivid original 1969 concert poster was designed by Lee Conklin, one of the iconic artists of the psychedelic poster movement, for a legendary series of shows at the Fillmore West in San Francisco. Featuring Santana, The Youngbloods, and Allmen Joy, with light shows by Little Princess 109, the concerts ran May 15–18, 1969.
Conklin’s surrealist vision explodes in a cascade of melting forms, vibrant color, and sun-drenched dreamscapes, encapsulating the acid rock aesthetic and the energy of the late-60s Bay Area music scene. His use of morphing hands and searing color waves evoke a hallucinatory trance that pairs perfectly with Santana’s Latin-infused psychedelia and The Youngbloods’ mellow groove.
Commissioned by Bill Graham Presents, this is BG #124 in the Fillmore poster...
