14" x 23" 1967

 

I take it the dude on the poster is Charles Lloyd, 'cause it certainly ain't Paul Butterfield!

This is a great classic Wes Wilson effort of this period (just before he took off and began to really sail).

I went to this gig because I loved Butterfield, but I passed on Charlie because he was a jazzer...not my style at all. I walked in when Butterfield was setting up. Funky Jack and Funky Sam came along as well.

I think Bill Graham loved jazz, and he always tried to sneak jazz groups into his bills, but no one who went to these concerts was really interested. Jazz is a "head" thing, and rock and blues is a "heart" and "soul" thing. Oh, yeah....and a crotch thing as well, of course.

 

Bottom edge a tiny bit rough, but perfect condition, really.
