AUCTION - FD-30 - Big Brother Janis Joplin & Mouse SIGNED 2nd Print Poster - Avalon Ballroom - Excellent
Here we have on offer a real gem of a Family Dog series poster. This is a 2nd print FD-30. The show dates were October 15-16, 1966. This was the one year anniversary of the Family Dog and the show was held at the Avalon Ballroom. Chet Helms, who ran the Family Dog, was from Texas and we have two bands with Texas roots on the bill: Big Brother and the Holding Company, featuring Texas native Janis Joplin, along with the Sir Douglas Quintet. Fabulous artwork by Stanley Mouse. Wonderful photo of silent movie actress Gloria Swanson. Nice Dog photo, too. What makes this poster so amazing and extra special is that it has been signed by both Janis Joplin and Stanley Mouse! Janis Joplin's signatures are extremely scarce and treasured. This one is particularly gorgeous at the upper left by the photo in a black pen. Mouse has signed in a more conventional spot at the bottom center in pencil. This vintage second Family Dog number thirty measures 14 1/2" X 20", approximately. In Excellent condition, with pinholes in each corner and some handling.
