The famous FD14 “Zig-Zag Man" is one of the most iconic and celebrated concert images of the 1960s. It advertises a pair of concerts by Big Brother and The Holding Company and Quicksilver Messenger Service that took place at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco California on June 24-25 1966. These shows are some of the earliest for Big Brother that would showcase their new lead singer Janis Joplin who officially joined the band 2 weeks prior on June 4th.
