Gig Poster
Procol Harum, Santana San Francisco 68 Conklin
About this poster
This is another classic psychedelic concert poster from San Francisco, featuring bold red and black colors in a highly stylized, flowing design. At the top, it states "BILL GRAHAM PRESENTS IN SAN FRANCISCO" and at the bottom there are ticket vendor locations listed for various Bay Area locations (San Francisco, San Mateo, Palo Alto, Berkeley, etc.).
The main design consists of swirling, organic forms that create a hypnotic, abstract pattern typical of 1960s psychedelic art. The lettering is characteristically distorted and fluid, integrated into the overall design in a way that makes it somewhat challenging to read - which was a common artistic choice in psychedelic poster art of this era.
The stark contrast between the bright red and black creates a striking visual effect, and the flowing, liquid-like patterns give the poster a sense of movement and energy. This style of poster art became iconic of the San Francisco music scene during the 1960s, particularly associated with Bill Graham's concert productions at venues like the Fillmore.
The design demonstrates the influence of Art Nouveau combined with the psychedelic aesthetic that emerged during this period, featuring organic, flowing forms and highly stylized typography that becomes part of the artwork itself.
