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 poster is highly sought after amongst collectors in ANY condition much less this super clean specimen. In June 2019 another example virtually the same quality and graded 9.4 which was signed by the artist reached $3 300 in our auction. This piece is very simililiar in amazing CLEAN & PINHOLE FREE condition!
