This post-event, commemorative reprint poster was produced by Michael Bowen studios, one of the original designers (along with Stanley Mouse) of the original image.

 

The 1967 Human Be-in was perhaps the culminating event of the San Francisco Psychedelic scene. This happening included all of the major figures of the day. The Be-in was originally conceived as an opportunity for the San Francisco Bohemians and Berkeley radicals to join forces in celebration of their respective counter-culture ideals. The major San Francisco bands of the day and Psychedelic advocates political radicals beat writers and spiritualists took the stage. Key figures of the era like Tim Leary Richard Alpert (Ram Dass) Allan Ginsburg and Jerry Rubin spoke to the gathering of 30 000. The Be-in was a true illustration of the ideals of the Haight and probably the last true gathering before the innocence of the culture would be lost.
