Eric Burdon & War Poster
Image may not exactly match item shipped.
Eight nights of music in late Spring; BG275 advertised three different concerts at the Fillmore West and Winterland. Eric Burdon appeared with a new band, War, and Santana's logo enjoyed a second childhood as Puss 'n Boots. Santana, by now a big area draw, played at Winterland. Singer's lettering had evolved from the strictly linear style of BG179 to this filled-in look.
The oversized poster was only printed once before the concert. It measures 21 1/16" x 28".
The 2nd printing is on coated matte stock and has "W 2022" in the lower right hand margin. It was printed in 2022 by Wolfgang's in a 100 copy run. This reprint measures 19" x 25".
During his Fillmore era, from 1969-1971, Singer created more posters for Graham than any other artist. Singer's posters are notable for his use of collage, incorporating thousands of images clipped from magazines spanning several decades. He developed a format that included a stunning variety of lettering styles, applying them in close relation to the theme or subject of a poster.
