A small poster (or large handbill) from the summer of 1966 advertising the traveling Trips Festival multi-media event, which featured the music of both the Grateful Dead and Big Brother & the Holding Company, whom Janis Joplin had just joined. Billed as “Vancouver’s First Festival of Sound & Light,” the freewheeling affair included light shows, movies, dancing, jazz music, liquid projections, magic mirrors… all things trippy and psychedelic during this pivotal year in pop culture. Enthusiastically discussed by collector Pete Howard of PosterCentral.com (phone 805-540-0020, email pete@postercentral.com).
