This 1973 original handbill from the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago features Cold Blood along with great artwork by Michael Krueger. Cold Blood was one of the pioneer bands of the "East Bay Grease" sound San Fran’s brass horn heavy funk-rock of the 1960s. They musically broke ground when Bill Graham was blown away during an audition they played at the Fillmore West in 1969. The legendary Tower of Power horn players performed with Cold Blood several times. The style of their noted lead singer Lydia Pense was often compared to Janis Joplin. It was Joplin herself who became a fan of their music and recommended the audition to Graham. This is the first example of this scarce handbill to appear in our auction!
