The New Riders of the Purple Sage with Jerry Garcia, Marmaduke and Mickey Hart are featured at this 1970 concert. The poster was created by artist Mark Behrens. Promotional material from the legendary Matrix club are consistent highlights in our auctions. The Matrix is an incredibly important venue as it was San Francisco’s first folk club EVER. The Matrix opened in August 1965 and was a tiny venue holding just over 100 concert-goers. The late great Marty Balin got a group of investors together to open the Matrix so San Francisco bands playing psychedelic music would have a dedicated performance space to call their own. Balin gave the investors a 75% interest in the club while keeping a 25% interest for himself in return for managing the club.
