March 1968 must have been a great one at the Fillmore. On the heels of a two week residency by Cream San Francisco audiences got a taste of another amazing English group of the day. Traffic!
This poster is a bit of an oddity in the series. It feature a Bob Seidemann photograph of Mouse Kelley Griffin and others at the famed San Francisco amusement park Playland by the Beach striking a ridiculous pose. According to legend the simple block lettering design was a response to Bill Graham’s request to the artists that the posters be made more “readable.”
