This is one of Rick Griffin’s earliest best and most historically important pieces. The artwork is featured in The Art of Rock plate # 2.215.
The Human Be-In kicked off the Summer of Love the 50th Anniversary of this event will be widely celebrated in the next couple of months! The Human 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 Stage was taken by the major San Francisco bands of the day as well as Psychedelic advocates political radicals beat writers and spiritualists.
Key figures included Tim Leary Ram Dass Allan Ginsburg and Jerry Rubin who 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.
