The Paul Butterfield Blues Band Handbill
Image may not exactly match item shipped.
Chicago headlined The Guess Who, a moderately popular Canadian rock band that spent time after an unsuccessful British tour doing Canadian television, and soft-rock duo Seals and Crofts. Singer's collage was an unsettling statement of patriotism superimposed on what could be seen as bird's-eye-view of Southeast Asia.
The handbill was only printed once before the concert and presents a calendar of upcoming Bill Graham events on the reverse. It measures 4 11/16" x 7 3/16".
There were also some pre-concert postcard mailers printed that were conjoined with the BG210 image (see BG210/211). They measure 7 1/8" x 9 1/4".
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.
