Description

FD-D18 The Doors 1967 Denver "Pay Attention" Rick Griffin Concert Poster Graded 9.6. A first-printing concert poster for The Doors, Allmen Joy and Gingerbred Blu playing at the Family Dog's Denver location on Friday thru Sunday nights, December 29-31, 1967. This poster is known as FD-D18 in the Family Dog numbered series and actually has two nicknames: "Pay Attention" (after what the alien's holding) and "Space Man".

This first printing is identifiable by the Family Dog triangle in the upper left corner having a red background; the much more common second printings have a black background up in that triangle. Measuring 12 ¾" x 21 ½", this specimen has been graded an attention-grabbing 9.6 Near Mint Plus by CGC (the Certified Guaranty Company). COA from Heritage Auctions.

More Information: Anything on the Doors from their rookie year of 1967 has extra cache, of course, and their LP Strange Days was sitting at #9 on Billboard's album chart this week. Their latest single, "Love Me Two Times," had also come out earlier in December and was getting lots of radio airplay.

Sometimes people think that the second-billed Allmen Joy were Gregg and Duane Allman opening for the Doors, but that's not the case. Gregg and Duane spelled their short-lived group with an "a," as in "Allman Joy." The two bands coexisted at the same time, but Duane & Gregg soon morphed into The Hour Glass.
