AUCTION - Blue Cheer - 1967 Silkscreen Poster - Muir Beach - Very Good
Offered for auction is an exceptionally rare poster for a show held at Muir Beach in Marin County, CA. Promoters Dino and Carlos put on a real extravaganza on September 24th, 1967. Billed as "Captain Ahab's Homecoming", the artwork features Ahab himself coming out of the whale's mouth. Great stuff. Blue Cheer headlined, with Freedom Highway, Serpent Power, and a slew of other bands filling out the bill. Interestingly enough, on the list of ticket outlets at the bottom, no fewer than seven different Haight Street locations are listed! Different times. Muir Beach itself was a fabulous outdoor location for a show. Right on the ocean, just across the Golden Gate Bridge, immersed in nature. A far cry from the crowded venues in San Francisco. This rather large poster, printed on yellow poster stock, measures 17 9/16 x 22 1/2 inches. The piece is in Very Good condition, with a large hole at the upper left corner, pinholes in the other three corners, some brown staining along the left side, an edge tear at the bottom, along with some handling. This is the only one we have ever seen.
