was produced for the Chambers Brothers, MC5, and Thyme at the famous venue on September 1st, 1967. All posters from the Grande Ballroom are highly sought after and very collectible. These posters were printed in extremely small runs of just 500. The Grande Ballroom was the epicenter of the 60s scene in the upper Midwest, and the artistic quality of the artworks rivals anything done out west.
The recent passing of the MC5's founding member and lead guitarist Wayne Kramer was a great loss to the world of rock music. MC5 started their music career in Michigan and developed a reputation for energetic and polemical live performances. They were a mainstay at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit. Their 1969 debut album Kick Out the Jams landed them into the history books. Their importance cannot be overstated.
