The Grass Roots Poster 2nd Printing A
The 1st printing is 14 1/8" x 20" on vellum and shows "The Bindweed Press San Francisco" in the lower right corner. There was a late change in the billing that is reflected on some copies of the 1st printing; the words "FRI. AND SAT. NIGHTS ONLY" have been altered with the addition of a sticker over the word "SAT." The word "SUN" is hand-written on the sticker. Some of the 1st printing posters have this sticker. This original poster was printed prior to the concert.

The Byrds Poster 2nd Printing A
"Eight Miles High" could have referred to the condition of the band and patrons when The Byrds headlined this two-night show. The band, acknowledged symbol of 60's psychedelia, was photographed in an oddly bucolic setting and was opened by The Wildflower. The concert also featured The Dutchman, a play by LeRoi Jones, part of the theatrical fare that Bill Graham liked to say "would have drawn about 12 people" if he hadn't headed the billing with rock bands.

The Wailers (60's) Poster 2nd Printing A
The careers of The Wailers and Quicksilver Messenger Service overlapped, but had little in common. The Wailers started out in 1958 as an early American garage band. Their name was also their sound, but the band held onto their sax and organ sound too long and disbanded by 1969. Quicksilver, formed in 1965, rode the rock band wave until 1973, but made a few marketing decisions that eventually cut them out of recording contracts and the public eye.

The Delano Grape Strike (1965-1967) began when Filipino farm workers walked off the farms of area table-grape growers demanding the federal minimum wage. The National Farmworkers Association led by Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta joined the strike which spread to over 2,000 workers. The merging group became the United Farm Workers of America. Through grassroots efforts like boycotts, marches and non-violent resistance, the movement revealed to the nation, the plight of the nation's lowest paid workers...

Concert promoters created handbill versions of many of their posters and used them as sidewalk handouts and dashboard fliers to promote upcoming shows. Many of the handbills are double-sided, with poster art on one side and a calendar of upcoming shows on the other. These handbills represent an important element of rock concert history because they were hands-on marketing tools that united promoter and patron.
