The lineup paired Big Brother \u0026amp; The Holding Company, then on the verge of superstardom with Janis Joplin, alongside blues titans Bo Diddley and Bukka White, bridging generations of American music in a single evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBob Fried's photomontage design centers on a mysterious bearded figure, possibly evoking a Civil War general, looming protectively over a line of Union soldiers. Against a luminous orange-red field dotted with blue stars and framed by Moorish-inspired arches, the composition creates a visual tension between military authority and the peace-seeking counterculture that would have resonated deeply with audiences during the Vietnam era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduced by Chet Helms' Family Dog Productions, this poster exemplifies the artistic ambition that transformed concert advertising into collectible art. A standout piece for collectors of psychedelic art, San Francisco music history, or the visual culture of the Summer of Love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20.25\" x 13.5\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bob Fried\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good, Age-appropriate wear, fading and toning.
