Janis Joplin 1967 California Hippie Concert Posters

[hombre_de_plata_flaco]

So I got a whole bunch of vintage posters recently. I put them on some foam backing (expensive - better look out) and wrapped them in mylar. I put them out at the antique booth and they have been doing exceedingly well - selling above average eBay prices in fact. The posters were doing so well I put up a craigslist ad looking for some more. Got a call about some yesterday and rode 20 miles south to check a few out.

I paid $30 total for the two posters pictured below. I bought them as reproductions, because the seller thought they were in too good shape to be originals. Well, guess what? I think they actually are originals. Size (16" X 22") and markings match up exactly with everything I have been able to research about these particular posters. If there are any old hippies here that can give me any advice about them I would much appreciate it.

The posters are from concerts held at a venue called The Ark in Sausalito, California in 1967. Bands include Moby Grape, Big Brother and The Holding Company (Janis Joplin's first group), and Jack & The Ripper.

Have you read this dream story Tuco? He didnt have enough bags for the gold.
He filled his hat, socks, tee-shirt, pant legs and even ripped out his car seat covers.

Excellent deal Tuco. They "look" authentic but I would get them checked out by a reputable/knowledgeable person: Like Noel Barret on Antiques Roadshow.

Is my 8 track tape worth anything?

saw a

never saw hendrix but would loved to have seen him sing All along the watchtower-seen the stones -zepplin and tull-tull was a good!
the who -stones-george harrison-and many others a cant remember-lol! still have most of my sticket stubbs-i need to check them out!
this thread deserves a farout and groovy

I always liked Hendrix's version of the star Spangle Banner......

Saw Hendrix at the second Atlanta pop festival in '70. He played the Star Spangled Banner among many other great songs, sometime around midnight, (the best I can remember.) He sure could work that wah wah pedal!!! For some reason, that period of time is a blur to me!!! May have something to do with the drug dealers plying their wares all up and down the sides of the roads leading to the racetrack where the festival was held. A lot of the 500,000 plus never even made it to the concert area, they hung out at the local river skinny dipping, trying to beat the 100+ temps. Man those were the good old days

I was in route to the Atlanta Pop Festival when the transmission on my '69 Austin Healy Sprite went out, I didn't make it to the festival.....

It sucks getting old, but we grew up durring some of the best music in history........Seeing Joplin and Hendrix live was great, as was seeing all the other super groups of the time......Rock music for the most part sucks today.....

I had front row tickets for the Stones, saw Rod Stewart with Jeff Beck and Faces on his first U.S. tour front row, Saw Ike and Tina Turner in 1970 in a local bar, Tina was H-O-T...... Was within 50 feet of Led Zeppelin, Saw Jethro Tull 10 row, Pat Benatar in a bar.........Many more of the greats..........

I can relate to the blur myself, and yes those were good old days....

Funny they called them "Dance concerts". You don't think of those bands as playing dance music. Unless its the type of dancing they did at Greatful Dead shows!

With LSD and you can dance to anything.
