There is a slight paper clip indentation to the front right side. "By 1968, loud rock and roll had become more mainstream, at least in Northern California. Young people up and down the Peninsula wanted to see bands full of long-haired guitarists playing their own music. Palo Alto's downtown, having been gutted by the Stanford Shopping Center in the 1950s, started to add shops selling lava lamps and posters. There weren't any bars in Palo Alto yet--not until 1981--but The Poppycock sold beer, and that was enough. The locus of rock music in town had moved off the Stanford campus and over to the Poppycock." (by ROck Prosopography 101). Very Good+ .

Family Dog Presents Tribal Stomp (Illustrated Program) (Tenth Annual Stomp)

San Francisco, CA: Family Dog, 1978. Other. Illustrated by Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers. Color Illustrations; This is a single piece of paper (17" x 11 1/2" ) folded once vertically, making four pages. The program is in Very Good+ condition. There is one very light wrinkle to the paper (looks like it was formed during the makeup of the paper). There is some slight toning to the edges of the white outer pages. There is one tiny crease / tear to the spine of the program towards the bottom edge. The color illustrations are very bright and vivid. "To promote their concerts in both San Francisco and Denver, Family Dog published a series of innovative psychedelic posters, handbills and other ephemera, created by a group of prominent young San Francisco artists including Wes Wilson, Alton Kelley and Stanley Mouse (Mouse Studios) , Rick Griffin, Steve Renick and Victor Moscoso. Often printed using intensely colored fluorescent inks, they typically featured a mixture of found images and specially drawn artwork. The posters of Griffin, Mouse and Kelly, in particular, were known for the intricate and highly stylized hand-lettering in which the concert details were written out, which sometimes took considerable time and effort to decipher. Original Avalon posters are now collector's items. In a slide show published with the obituary at the time of Wilson's death in 2020, The New York Times included an apparent portrait watercolor of Helms—a book in the foreground has Helms' full name on it.
