Gig Poster
The Byrds, Fleetwood Mac San Francisco 70 Singer
About this poster
This is a concert poster for "Bill Graham Presents in San Francisco" featuring The Byrds as the headlining act, with Fleetwood Mac and John Hammond also on the bill. The show was scheduled for January 1-3-4 at the Fillmore West.
The central image carries significant political symbolism: it shows an eagle or hawk in an unstable, off-kilter stance, with an American flag notably tilted downward across its body. This imagery appears to be a deliberate commentary on the political instability and social upheaval of the era, perhaps questioning or criticizing the state of the nation. The precarious position of both bird and flag suggests a country out of balance or in decline.
The typography is distinctive and stylized, particularly in the way "THE BYRDS" and "FLEETWOOD MAC" are rendered in an art deco-inspired font. The overall design has a warm, sepia-toned color palette with the deep burgundy border framing the image.
The poster effectively combines politically charged imagery with contemporary rock aesthetics, creating a powerful statement piece that goes beyond mere concert promotion. It reflects the era's tendency to merge musical entertainment with political commentary and social consciousness.
The layout is clean and hierarchical, clearly presenting the performing artists, venue, and dates in a visually appealing way that was characteristic of Bill Graham's Fillmore concert posters.
