Sell Your Velvet Underground Andy Warhol 1966 Trip Concert Poster
The Velvet Underground was an American rock band formed in New York City in 1964 by singer/guitarist Lou Reed, multi-instrumentalist John Cale, guitarist Sterling Morrison, and drummer Angus MacLise. MacLise was replaced by Moe Tucker in 1965, who played on most of the band’s recordings. The band performed under a number of names before settling on The Velvet Underground in 1965. Pop artist Andy Warhol became their manager in 1966, and they served as the house band at Warhol’s art collective known as “the Factory” and Warhol’s traveling multimedia show, the Exploding Plastic Inevitable, from 1966 to 1967. Their debut album, The Velvet Underground & Nico (with German singer and model Nico), was released in 1967 to critical indifference and poor sales but has since become critically acclaimed; in 2003, Rolling Stone called it the “most prophetic rock album ever made.”

Very Rare Doors Poster From a 1967 Performance at the Kaleidoscope Club in Hollywood
Original circular hand-pulled silkscreen poster, promoting a three day performance by the up-and-coming band The Doors, at the Kaleidoscope Club in Hollywood on 21-23 April 1967. A series of 20 posters were issued by Kaleidoscope in 1967, one for each concert that year. This dayglo fluorescent poster is considered to be the most rare in the Kaleidoscope series because of the type of ink used by artist John Douglas Kline in production. Posters in this series are almost non-existent because they were issued for promotion only, and the silkscreens used to produce the posters were burned in a fire. The Kaleidoscope was a psychedelic rock venue run by the management of the band Canned Heat. It was only open for roughly six months in 1967, with many memorable bands performing in that brief time. The venue was housed at the Earl Carroll Theater, which was then located at 6230 Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, and featured two concentrically rotating stages at the center of the venue. For The Doors performance, the show was moved to a club called Ciros, at 8433 W. Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, (which is now the Comedy Store) since the original location of the club at the Earl Carroll Theatre had yet to be finalized. Circular poster depicts a silhouette of the faces of The Doors, with the band names in psychedelic 60’s font, and is printed in bright shades in a color combination meant to play tricks on the eye, as if looking through a psychedelic kaleidoscope. Previously owned by Alan Brackett, the original bass player in the Peanut Butter Conspiracy, who played with The Doors at this venue, along with The UFO. Poster measures 18.75″ in diameter, with some pinholes around the edge and very minor creasing. Near fine condition. Sold for $3,936.
Charles Schulz original hand-drawing of Snoopy, signed by Schulz. Illustration of Snoopy in a ranger’s hat and backpack was used for a poster to promote the ”Open Nature” concert on 27 April 1999, with members of the Grateful Dead playing. Drawing is accompanied by the concert poster, signed by Grateful Dead members Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Mickey Hart and by Van Halen frontman Sammy Hagar. Illustration of Snoopy is complemented by a nature scene of mountains and trees, drawn by Brooks Anderson, and signed ”Brooks ’99”. Lot also includes a laminated pass to the event, also showing the illustration of Snoopy. Schulz illustration measures 8” x 10” inside of black frame measuring 12.5” x 14.5”. Poster measures 13” x 19.5” inside of gold frame measuring 17.5” x 22”. Near fine. Sold for $3,933.
