This Electric Flag Original Poster boasts colorful fluorescent inks to advertise a 1968 Electric Flag, Traffic, Steppenwolf concert in Santa Barbara. The poster was created by artist Frank Bettencourt and the promoter for the historic Earl Warren was the late great Jim Salzer. The Electric Flag showcased Mike Bloomfield, one of the most talented guitar players who ever lived. Bloomfield was a force to be reckoned with. From the Butterfield Blues Band, to the short-lived Electric Flag, to the hours of recording with Bob Dylan, to the incredible instrumental prowess, he exhibited jamming with Al Kooper - Bloomfield achieved legendary musical status at a very young age.
