So does anyone out here, besides myself, collect posters from the 1960's?
I love the old Griffin stuff, and John Thompson did some great posters for the "Western Front". (which is now the location of the Mitchell Brothers Theatre in SF) w00t

I have a few of The Rick Griffin posters from the Fillmore, and almost all of the Greg Irons and an interesting video-cassette that was put out by a guy named Ben Friedman who owned the Postermat store in SF and used to sell original posters really cheap until sometime in the late 80's early 90's. I also collect the posters put out by Survival Research Labratories in the 80's and 90's advertising their spectacles...not quite as colorful as the Fillmore/Avalon series but quite fetching in their own way!

I'll have to try and find my collection and take some pics to share. I know I've got at least one Horton Heat to keep that theme going.

i was buying posters right up until my last daze in Baton Rouge.

i filled a 13x19 art portfolio & bought about 15 uncut proofs, most of which is still packed away from the move still.

Here's some of my posters. Mostly local stuff.

The Tyrades (circa 2000)

Rust Belt Revolt 2000 (local punk fest)

Reverend Horton Heat - Frantic Flattops (circa 2000) 2 of my favorite bands.

Johnny Cash (Not a concert poster but a thank you printed for customers of a local concert poster print house. They only made 100 and I got one from a friend who was 1/2 of the company)

The Baseball Furies (circa 2000)

The Amazing Crowns (probably late 90's) Sorry for the glare this one was framed.

I have a few more around here somewhere. If they ever show up I'll post them.

Gov't Mule had an awesome poster for their "end of tour" shows at the Fillmore. They also had a cool poster for sale.
