AVALON BALLROOM POSTER COLLECTION

Chet Helms production company, Family Dog, put on weekly rock shows and other events starting in April 1966. The
shows featured the many rock bands that were blossoming in the San Francisco area (as well as rock, blues, and pop acts
from other areas), accompanied by Helms innovative light shows.
The posters in this collection are selections from the 147 posters in the numbered series that advertised Family Dog
shows from 1966 to 1968. The Family Dog Numbered Series includes many of the top bands and artists who played those
venues during those years, including: The Doors, Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, with Big Brother and the Holding Company,
Jefferson Airplane and many others. Several of the most prominent innovative illustrators of the time and place are also
represented, including Rick Griffin, Stanley Mouse, Alton Kelley and Victor Moscoso.
This is truly a one-of-a-kind collection that showcases, with provocative designs and stunning colors, the music that
represented San Francisco in the late sixties.
On August 31 at 10 a.m. CDT, visit HPB.com to browse and buy these collectible posters while they last. Prices are for
unframed posters. Inventory subject to change.
