Psychedelic poster advertising a concert for Humble Pie. The poster depicts a drawing of a woman wearing a cloak decorated with an eye-like device, which makes the cloak take on a face-like appearance. A spiral with a sun at its centre looms in front of her. The event details appear on the woman's cloak, which merges into the border, and are written in a stylised black text. The lettering reads, 'Bill Graham presents in San Francisco Humble Pie, Swamp Dogg, Shanti. Lights by Prismatic Revenge. May 13-14-15-16 Fillmore West'. The poster is printed in black white and orange. This poster appears to be intended as a companion for E.487-2004; both are printed in the same colours and feature opposite elements.
