Jerry Garcia & John Kahn N1 New York 86 Martin
About this poster
This commemorative concert poster captures the mystical atmosphere of Jerry Garcia and John Kahn's 1986 performance at The Ritz in New York City. The design features a richly detailed nighttime scene of the venue's facade, rendered in deep teals, warm oranges, and rich burgundies that give it a distinctly psychedelic feel.
The venue's name "THE RITZ - NEW YORK CITY NY" is displayed in retro-style neon lettering across the building's facade. Above it, the performers' names "Jerry Garcia" (with "EST. 1992" beside it) and "John Kahn" are prominently featured in glowing, stylized typography. The show date is displayed on what appears to be an old-school display board.
What makes this poster particularly striking is the surreal element of three mystical lions positioned in front of the venue. These majestic creatures appear to be emanating swirling, ribbon-like streams of color that dance across the lower portion of the poster. The building's architecture is intricately detailed with ornate Victorian-style elements, decorated windows glowing with warm light, and fine line work that gives the whole piece a vintage engraving quality.
The windows of the venue display abstract, psychedelic patterns that seem to pulse with energy, perfectly capturing the spirit of Garcia's musical legacy. The overall composition creates a perfect balance between architectural precision and psychedelic whimsy, making it both a historical document and a piece of art that captures the essence of the Garcia/Kahn collaboration.
The color palette and style pay homage to both the 1960s San Francisco concert poster aesthetic and New York City's gritty yet glamorous 1980s music scene, creating a unique fusion that perfectly represents this special performance.
