all i know is i saw the bee gees on the "one" tour.. if you like women, i imagine going to a bee gees concert would be a sure thing to hook up with an older woman..
sadly, even Bill Graham turned to the 'shitty poster' for advertising in the '70s, particularly for Days on the Green (Oakland Coliseum) and places like the Concord Pavilion. And at the same time, he (apparently) reprinted newspaper ads created by Randy Tuten, as b&w half-size posters (you can still see 'em all over eBay and at Wolfgang's Vault).
this is pretty much what rock postering looked like in the 70's. at least in seattle, where this is from. it's done as a silkscreen cardboard showcard style by an outfit called zeppelin studios.
- (at least i assume. it could have been done - if it's early enough - by an actual showcard company that did rodeo posters and such called the 'washington poster company'. they were an actual old showcard company like hatch and actually did a hendrix and a joplin poster that are highly collectible).
zeppelin studios were a bunch of hippies turned professional designers and were the shit in the 70's in seattle. they did some really great work - and some really bad work, too, as they got old and bored. by the end of the 70's they were a signpainting company and pretty much quit on the poster stuff.
this poster looks like prime zeppelin studios work to me, though.
thank god punk came a long and fucked everything up. imagine a world where this was the height of cool...
