About this poster:
This vintage poster promotes a New Year's Eve concert event held at Fillmore West, spanning from 9 PM on December 31, 1968, to 9 AM on January 1, 1969. The artistic style features a large, ornate hourglass motif filled with human figures. Bands performing include Vanilla Fudge, Richie Havens, The Youngbloods, and Cold Blood.
The design incorporates psychedelic elements characteristic of the era's rock concert posters, utilizing bold colors, flowing lines, and distorted forms. The hourglass visual metaphor suggests the passage of time into the new year, with figures seemingly flowing from the top chamber to the bottom. The details of the event, including the venue and ticket price, are clearly displayed on the poster.
Tickets were priced at $7.00 and included breakfast, as indicated at the bottom left of the poster. The list of ticket outlets around San Francisco and nearby areas is also included, although the text is quite small. The overall design captures the vibrant and experimental aesthetic of the late 1960s San Francisco music scene.
Relive the energy of live music with this reproduction concert poster. Capturing the iconic style and excitement of rock and pop history, this print is a must-have for music fans and collectors. Professionally printed by Lumber City Prints on premium quality 230gsm Matte Photo Paper.
