A 1966 concert poster, known as “Zig-Zag Man”, with Big Brother & the Holding Company on the bill (Family Dog).

About this 1966 concert poster

Concert posters were made to promote a single show, which is why so few originals survive. Big Brother and the Holding Company was the San Francisco band that launched Janis Joplin. This poster advertised a 1966 show. The late 1960s saw a boom in psychedelic poster art, with swirling hand-drawn lettering and clashing colours. Poster artists such as Wes Wilson, Victor Moscoso, Stanley Mouse and Rick Griffin defined the San Francisco psychedelic style. Promoters like Bill Graham and Chet Helms commissioned a new poster for almost every weekend of shows.

Styling this vintage concert poster

This 1966 poster for Big Brother & the Holding Company brings a slice of 1960s music history to the wall. At 24×36″ it becomes a statement piece, while 11×14″ or 12×18″ fits shelves, desks and gallery walls. A black or antique-gold frame suits this vintage concert poster well and keeps the focus on the image. This vintage concert poster also anchors a gallery wall well; surround it with smaller pieces at even 2–3 inch gaps. For the most natural view, place the centre of this vintage concert poster at eye level, around 57 inches (145 cm) high.
