Description

Big Brother and the Holding Company "Top Hat" Avalon Concert Poster (Family Dog, 1966). 1966 must have been quite a year for Janis Joplin. This was the year she finally moved from Texas to San Francisco (at the urging of old friend Chet Helms), and by the late spring of that year, she was singing with Big Brother and the Holding Company. Here's a great poster starring the band from December, '66, featuring the top-hatted Indian mascot of Helm's Family Dog Productions. Joining Janis and the boys that night were Oxford Circle and keyboard whiz Lee Michaels. Victor Moscoso provided the tripped-out graphics. This 14" x 18" poster is a first printing, and is in NM- condition.
