The Bank in Torrance California was a relatively obscure venue previously known as The Blue Law however it went down in folklore as hosting some amazing concerts in 1968. The Los Angeles psych band Sweetwater is featured with Black Pearl and Fields on this original poster appearing in our auction for the FIRST TIME! Sweetwater often toured with The Doors and from time to time opened for Eric Burdon and the Animals. They were the first "Band" to appear live at the Woodstock Festival (after Ritchie Havens opening solo set). Material from The Bank is highly sought after by collectors. Original Pre-Concert First Printing posters like this are why so many NEW collectors are now rushing into the hobby!
