This is the first time we've ever offered this Original John Moehring Poster in our auction! The summer of 1969 was full of incredible festivals. The Seattle Pop Fest highlighted the power of Led Zeppelin and The Doors as well as country-rock legends The Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers. The total attendance over three days in Gold Creek Park exceeded 50 000 fans which for a northwest outdoor event was unheard of. This historic music festival took place only a month before Woodstock! 

 

The ultra psychedelic poster art was designed by renowned pacific northwest artist John Moehring. Moehring has been widely recognized as one of the top designers of concert material during this era in Seattle and Portland. The works of art he created for Boyd Grafmyre Productions between 1967-1969 are legendary and highly sought after by collectors. This Seattle Pop Festival Poster is extremely difficult to locate and the few that have surfaced over the years have all been conditionally challenged. Additional performers included at this festival were Santana Alice Cooper Charles Lloyd Chuck Berry Ike & Tina Turner Spirit and many more. This piece is 100% Original with no restoration!
