Place of origin |
Psychedelic poster advertising a concert for Moby Grape. The poster is known as 'Three Little Bares', a photomontage of three women wearing bras and briefs, or bikinis. The central woman has a pair of bird's wings, which are grasped by a large hand, which the other two look up at. This black and white image is framed within the yellow and blue lettering above, and lines running along the lower three edges of the poster. The lettering is difficult to decipher at first, being made up of amorphous shapes, but reads, 'Aug 10, Moby Grape, Aug 13, Aug 11, Canned Heat, Aug 12, Aug 10, 11, Vanilla Fudge, 12 & 13, Dance Avalon Ballroom Concert, Sutter & Vannes S. Frisco, Lights North American Ibis'.
