Description

Jimi Hendrix Experience/Buddy Miles Express Winterland Concert Poster #BG140 (Bill Graham, 1968). Here's a show we really wish we could have attended. And what a show -- top-billed act Jimi Hendrix was at the peak of his success in '68, having just released the classic double-LP "Electric Ladyland" album. Joining Jimi would be two acts who had plenty in common with the explosive guitarist: drummer Buddy Miles, fresh from his stint in Electric Flag, was fronting his own outfit here, but in a year's time would join Hendrix to form the short-lived Band of Gypsies; and singer Dino Valente, who is credited (under the name Chet Powers) with one of Jimi's best-known songs, "Hey Joe." To top it all off, the poster features incredible graphics by the Zap Comix team of Rick Griffin and Victor Moscoso. This is one of the most famous of all the '60s San Francisco rock posters, and yes, this is a first printing. The poster measures 14" x 21.5", and is in NM- condition.
