Some psychedelic poster artists got so carried away that you couldn't even understand what they were advertising.

But I’m the one, who showed you in
And I was right beside you then…
Being blessed with so much new (or new to me) good quality Gram live content is both such a blessing and such a curse. Blessing because, like. It’s all there. Clear as day how this guy was absolutely the most phenomenal singer to ever grace the planet. Music flows out of him so effortlessly along with his soul because they’re the same thing. There’s not a single line, a sigle word that doesn’t differ from the way he sang it in the studio and you can just tell that he did not sing a line the same way twice in his life. Singing comes more natural to him than talking - then again, if you’ve heard him speak you know he’s singing even when he’s talking -, every unique phrasing, every melodical or lyrical change telling its own story and it’s never going to be the same story as it was a year ago or even the night before. The way his voice sounds like something out of control, constantly on the verge of breaking, but he is actually in complete control of every twist and turns it takes. He’s both using it instinctively and deliberately and the result is simply beyond words. You can do nothing but listen to him and stand there mesmerized, wondering how the hell he’s doing it. Curse because, obviously, it’s a painful reminder that we could have so much more. To think of all the amazing performances that got lost forever makes me want to crawl in the corner of a room and cry.

The GRATEFUL DEAD San Francisco concert poster (1969) - The EYE POPPIN’ ART OF RICK GRIFFIN (Part 10/10)
We conclude this short tribute to the incredible visual genius of RICK GRIFFIN with his second most well known poster / image created for The Grateful Dead’s shows at the Avalon Ballroom In San Francisco on January 1969
The image was titled AOXOMOXOA, a palindromic title Griffin created with Dead’s lyricist Robert Hunter, and features most of Griffin’s beloved concepts and images: a beetle, skulls shaped as penises, sperms ovulating the sun, life, death, rebirth...with incredible lettering
The image was so popular that the band decided to use it as the cover for their next album
The original poster above is extremely rare and has been reprinted / bootlegged many times since
A true masterpiece from the BIG FIVE’s most ‘out there’ Artist who left us too soon
