A 1968 concert poster with Thelonious Monk, Dr. John on the bill at the Carousel Ballroom in San Francisco.

About this 1968 concert poster

Concert posters were made to promote a single show, which is why so few originals survive. It was designed to promote a 1968 concert at the Carousel. The Carousel Ballroom was a short-lived, musician-run San Francisco venue of 1968. The late 1960s saw a boom in psychedelic poster art, with swirling hand-drawn lettering and clashing colours. Concert posters are often the only surviving record of a particular line-up on a particular night. Many concert posters listed several bands, capturing who shared the stage on a given night.

Styling this vintage concert poster

A 1968 souvenir of Thelonious Monk, Dr. John at the Carousel, it suits a listening room, studio or hallway. At 24×36″ it becomes a statement piece, while 11×14″ or 12×18″ fits shelves, desks and gallery walls. Finish this vintage concert poster with a black or antique-gold frame for a clean, gallery-style look. Build a gallery wall around this vintage concert poster: add two or three smaller prints that echo its colours and keep the gaps to 2–3 inches. Hang this vintage concert poster with its centre about 57 inches (145 cm) from the floor, or 8–10 inches above furniture.
