for #pageysartgallery, today i wanted to post a jimmy solo that i’m particularly obsessed with at the moment, taken from led zeppelin’s performance of sittin’ and thinkin’ at the fillmore west, on april 24, 1969.

unfortunately i couldn’t upload the full song because it was too long, but the solo is just phenomenal, filled with energy and passion, an expression of emotion through the guitar that only jimmy is capable to evoke. it really shows how it was just a matter of time, back then, before he and the band could take over the world by storm.

here is a little bit of memorabilia from that show, and an article from april 19 ‘69 with a funny review from an older folk (literally calling rock music “garbage” and saying it’s “quite painful” to praise someone like jimmy) also feauting a short interview:

"BILL GRAHAM PRESENTS IN SAN FRANCISCO..."

PIC INFO: Spotlight on Abba Zaba-inspired concert poster art for DEEP PURPLE, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY, and COLD BLOOD, live at the Fillmore West, November 28-30 + December 1, 1968. San Francisco, CA. Artwork by Rick Griffin (✝) and Alton Kelley.

OVERVIEW: "The third and final Rick Griffin and Alton Kelley collaboration (Griffin often collaborated with Victor Moscoso, and Kelley of course worked with Stanley Mouse on virtually all of his compositions) was a good example of both artists' use of contemporary advertising in their design. The poster features a taxi cab checker design with an "Abba-Zabba" candy bar wrapper and image of monkey working on transistor. Abba-Zabbas were candy bars made at the time by the Cardinet Candy Company of Oakland, across the Bay from San Francisco. Perhaps a favorite of one of the artists?

This poster advertises the very first tour of DEEP PURPLE who had a hit single, “Hush,”  that reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. It would be a few more years before they hit the real Big Time with the heavy metal classic, “Smoke on the Water.” Here they opened for SF-based IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY who were getting massive Bay-Area airplay with their hits, “White Bird,” and “Hot Summer Day.”

JIMI HENDRIX San Francisco concert poster (1968) - The EYE POPPIN’ ART OF RICK GRIFFIN (Part 1/10)

RICK GRIFFIN is one of the most genial visual Artists from the 20th century having designed hundreds of posters and record covers in the mid 60′s to late 80′s before he passed away in 1990 in a bike accident.

Thru a selection of 10 posters culled from the Gallery’s collection, we wish to honor his Art.

One of San Francisco’s psychedelic scene’s BIG FIVE (along with Victor Moscoso, Wes Wilson, Alton Kelley and Stanley Mouse), Griffin and his friends defined the psychedelic Art and revolutionized the Art of concert posters

Filled with esoteric visions (scarabs. beetles, skulls, sex...) Griffin incorporated very intricate lettering into the poster arts making it actually indecipherable forcing the viewer / concert goer to stop and pause

Having been face scarred with an eye dislocation during a car accident, Griffin spread his Art with eye including in hois most famous piece, dubbed the Flying Eye, created for Jimi Hendrix’s 1968 Fillmore West and Winterland shows in San Francisco (BG 105 in the Bill Graham Fillmore poster series)

The poster is the most well known masterpiece from the BIG FIVE’s most ‘out there’ Artist who left us too soon
