Description

Big Brother and the Holding Company "Heart and Torch" Fillmore West Concert Poster BG-136, Signed by Rick Griffin (Bill Graham Presents, 1968). Some three months before Janis Joplin left Big Brother and the Holding Company, she fronted the band for this set of September 1968 shows. Also appearing were Santana and Chicago Transit Authority (soon to be known simply as Chicago). Artist Rick Griffin's beautiful illustration of a large heart with a hand holding a flaming torch is surrounded with his classic psychedelic lettering. This poster features a deep turquoise background, and measures 14" x 22". Griffin signed his name in silver ink, in the lower right corner. The poster is in Near Mint condition.
