A Long Strange Trip

It's a Beautiful Day Deep Purple Griffin Kelley BG 147 1968

BG 147 It's a Beautiful Day, Deep Purple, Cold Blood, Holy See Ticket Set Artists: Alton Kelley and Rick Griffin Date: Nov 28, 1968 - Dec 1, 1968 Venue: Fillmore West San Francisco, CA Size: 2" x 3 9/16"

"The third and final Kelley and Griffin collaboration [BG133 and BG146 were the others] was a good example of both artists' use of contemporary advertising in their design. The Abba-Zaba candy bar wrapper was an interesting modern cultural reference and played a bigger part in the poster than the advertising for It's A Beautiful Day, Deep Purple, and Cold Blood."
