Description

Grass Roots "Sin Dance" Avalon Concert Poster FD-6 (Family Dog, 1966) Chet Helm's Family Dog had been putting on shows for only about two and a half months by the time of this wild poster. Headliners the Grass Roots were yet to begin their long string of hits (beginning with "Where Were You When I Needed You" some two months later), and second billed act Sons of Adam are best known today for singer/songwriter Randy Holden (of later Blue Cheer fame). Opening the show was Chet's own band, Big Brother and the Holding Company -- before they hooked up with singer Janis Joplin! Wes Wilson designed this impressive poster, which found a very inventive way to print information -- with lettering in the form of a snake! Wow, man! This uncommon beauty had no second printing. It measures 14" x 20"; and aside from a light stain in the lower right margin, is in NM- condition.
