| Place of origin |
Psychedelic poster advertising a concert for Quicksilver Messenger Service. The event details fill most of the space, and images of the bands are incorporated into the poster's design. The lettering reads, 'Bill Graham presents in San Francisco A Dance Concert, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Buddy Miles, © Bill Graham 1970, #249 Norman Orr, Robert Savage, Lights - Little Princess 109, Thurs - Sunday - Fillmore West - September 17-20'. The lettering is highly stylised, and the imagery evokes a sense of 'the wild west'.
