Becker crosses the country to trace history of gig posters, getting some great interviews along the way
Before Bill Graham and his legendary Fillmore West venue, posters were not common and were generally poorly printed, slapdash affairs. But Graham began hiring artists to produce high quality posters to give out to the first 500 concert patrons that left each night—as a way to clear out the room. That’s just one interesting tidbit in Merle Becker’s new documentary, which examines four especially creative periods in the history of the gig-poster scene: the psychedelic late sixties, the punk flyer scene of the early eighties, the poster rebirth in the mid-nineties, and the present day.
