Chicago blues legend the late great Otis Rush passed away last year but interest in his concert material continues to live on. This poster is the 8th produced by artist Victor Moscoso for his retinal burning Neon Rose series. It was printed in 1967 for a run of shows at the Matrix in San Francisco. The design was based on a photo by Paul Ubac. 

 

Victor Moscoso had an arrangement with the management of the Matrix to produce a series of posters for shows at this small club in the Marina. Of the approximately 2000 posters printed the club would use a few hundred for publicity. The bulk of the remaining posters were retained by the artist. Only first original pre-concert printings of this issue were produced no second printings exist.
