Procol Harum/Pink Floyd Winterland Concert Poster BG92 (Bill Graham, 1967) Here's a never-reprinted poster for the greatest show that never was! Pink Floyd, featuring original guitarist and singer Syd Barrett, had just begun their first tour of the US in October, '67. A three-night run at the Fillmore was followed by appearances on American Bandstand (where Syd didn't open his mouth during a lip-synched performance of "See Emily Play") and the Pat Boone Show (!), when Syd really began to lose his fragile grip on reality, refusing to answer questions during an interview. They abruptly cancelled the rest of the tour, including this scheduled concert with co-headliners Procol Harum and opening act H. P. Lovecraft, and returned to England. All that doesn't distract from this beautiful Nicholas Kouninos-designed poster, which is reminiscent of the fabulous Art Nouveau poster art of late 19th century France. It measures 14" x 21", and is in VG+ condition, with staple holes, and two minor tears in the upper left corner.
