This is a vintage concert poster. An American, original advertisement handbill for Country Joe & The Fish et al, published by the Berkeley Free Press, dated to 1970. A striking example of counterculture psychedelic art, capturing the creative energy of late 1960s California.

  • Evocative counterculture concert poster, steeped in the psychedelic aesthetic of the Berkeley scene
  • Published by the Berkeley Free Press, a key member of the Californian civil rights and anti-war movement
  • Advertises a benefit concert held at the Finnish Brotherhood Hall, near the University of California, Berkeley campus
  • Illustrated and coloured by Michael Wilson, likely a Berkeley alumnus or local scene artist

  • Vibrant blue and fuchsia pink palette creates three-dimensional depth and optical intrigue
  • Bands and artists on the bill include Country Joe & The Fish, Afro Blues Persuasion, and a play by Marvin Norinsky
  • Line-up details neatly printed along the lower edge for legibility
  • Replete with the Berkeley Free Press imprint to the lower right corner, confirming its authenticity
  • Presented within a tasteful later frame, dressed to the rear with braid for ease of hanging
