Talk about UNIQUE! This is a black & white poster designed by the late great Rick Griffin. What makes this official second printing of Griffin’s beautiful 1968 Big Brother & The Holding Company poster produced by Pinnacle Productions a ONE OF A KIND COLLECTIBLE is the fact that it has been beautifully hand colored! 

Hand colored posters represent a very special niche of the concert poster market. These pieces are seldom offered and very highly sought after by rabid fans of this genre. When the hand colored poster has been designed by Rick Griffin the desirability goes through the roof!

 

Designed as part of the Pinnacle Dance Concert Series this design is a lasting tribute to those events! The Pinnacle driven by artist John Van Hammersveld along with Marc Chase and Sepp Donahower produced some of the most powerful and electrifying concerts in the history of rock music at the Shrine Auditorium in the late ‘60’s.
