Jimi Hendrix, MC5, Canned Heat & The Byrds 1968 Detroit Concert Poster

Jimi Hendrix Experience Masonic Temple 1968 – Vintage Detroit Concert Poster

This striking vintage handbill captures the extraordinary Detroit rock scene of February 1968, promoting several concerts associated with promoter Russ Gibb and the legendary Grande Ballroom era.

The main billing advertises The Jimi Hendrix Experience, together with Soft Machine, MC5 and The Rationals, for a February 23 appearance at the Masonic Temple.

The handbill also advertises additional February performances involving Canned Heat and The Byrds, alongside information for the Grande Ballroom on Grand River at Beverley in Detroit.

Its design is wonderfully raw: a black silhouette of a guitarist dominates an orange background while loose, hand-drawn lettering curves around the figure. The deliberately informal composition perfectly captures the underground character of late-1960s psychedelic concert promotion.

A superb piece for collectors interested in Jimi Hendrix, MC5, Detroit rock history, the Grande Ballroom and 1960s psychedelic music culture.
