1969 Johnny Winter Janis Joplin Sit-In Boston Tea Party Poster Near Mint 81

The late great Johnny Winter began his recording career at the age of 15, and his high-energy albums impacted the music world during the late 60's and early 70's. This RARE poster announced the legend's run at the Boston Tea Party in December 1969 with Sons of Champlin and Ten Wheeledrive. However, most notably though not listed, Janis Joplin joined Winter onstage on the December 11th date. They played 8 songs together, including “Kozmic Blues” and "Piece of My Heart". The performance was recorded and later released under the title "One Hot Winter Night."

The Boston Tea Party venue is one of those pockets of poster collecting that frustrate collectors and dealers alike. The print runs were minuscule, so the survival rates are painfully low. The hottest pieces were absorbed into top collections decades ago and rarely come up for sale. There is no official cataloging reference material for the venue that we are aware of.
