Jimi Hendrix, Moby Grape Concert Poster – Earl Warren Showgrounds, 1967

Posted on July 6, 2011 by postercentral

A very psychedelic, vibrating-colors Jimi Hendrix concert poster from Santa Barbara, CA just as the guitar god’s career was leaving the launching pad. This show was on August 19, 1967, the same week that Hendrix first charted a single on Billboard magazine’s charts, “Purple Haze,” and likewise the same time his first LP, Are You Experienced?, also hit the Billboard charts. How cool is that? Enthusiastically discussed by collector Pete Howard of PosterCentral.com (phone 805-540-0020, email pete@postercentral.com).

Elvis Presley Concert Poster 1970s Casino Show Placard – 3 AM Mother’s Day!

Posted on June 27, 2011 by postercentral

A previously unknown Mother’s Day 1973 Elvis concert poster for a 3 AM benefit show that sold out and raised money for a local South Lake Tahoe hospital. This was an inside-the-venue Sahara Tahoe concert poster which actually mentions his mother, Gladys Presley, twice on the poster itself, which is certainly unprecedented. Not the prettiest poster with McDonald’s colors and no photo of The King, but rare as a hen’s tooth and representing a show that was released on CD and got rave reviews. Enthusiastically discussed by collector Pete Howard of PosterCentral.com (phone 805-540-0020, email pete@postercentral.com).

Cream Concert Poster 1967 Grande Ballroom, Detroit

Posted on June 24, 2011 by postercentral

Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker are prominently pictured on this nice sixties psychedelic concert poster out of Detroit, MI. Nicknamed “Creamsicle” to distinguish it from the other Cream / Grande Ballroom / Gary Grimshaw concert poster (from 1968), this is part of a very famous series of posters for concerts produced by Russ Gibb in the motor city. In addition, this beautiful, original mint-condition copy has been artfully signed by Grimshaw.
