We are pleased to offer this rare Bob Masse designed relic for the FIRST TIME with CGC Grading in our auction! In Vancouver during the late 60’s The Afterthought on 4th Avenue was the place to be for the best live music. Many of the top bands of the 1960’s performed there including Country Joe & the Fish Jefferson Airplane and many others.

 

This Original First Printing poster for the Steve Miller Blues Band was designed by Canadian artist Bob Masse. Masse is one of rock's most seasoned and prolific poster artists. He is perhaps best known in the collecting world for his design of the July 1967 Grateful Dead concert at Vancouver’s Agradome. His work has been hunted by collectors for decades and remains one of the most celebrated artists of the era. This SIGNED specimen is in Museum Quality Condition with no visible flaws of any kind! Read our blog dated 1/20/18 where we discuss the skyrocketing demand for signed material such as this lot!
