Eric Burdon & the Animals headlined the Fillmore during a three-day show in 1967, alongside Mother Earth and Hour Glass (featuring Duane and Gregg Allman). Bonnie MacLean, renowned for her captivating poster art, crafted this masterpiece, drawing inspiration from the regal imagery of playing cards and infusing it with rich psychedelic typography.
Bonnie MacLean (1939–2020), known for her iconic rock posters, left an enduring artistic legacy. Collaborating with Bill Graham, she shaped the visual landscape of the 1960s and 1970s music scene with her psychedelic designs. Transitioning from poster art to painting, she explored themes of nudes, still lifes, and landscapes. Born in Philadelphia and raised in Trenton, New Jersey, MacLean's journey led her to San Francisco, where she became a driving force in the vibrant rock music scene. Her vivid, hand-drawn concert posters featuring legendary acts like Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, and The Doors promoted shows and became cultural touchstones of the era. Today, her works are cherished in museum collections worldwide—her distinct style, characterized by elaborate motifs and Art Nouveau influences, became cultural artifacts emblematic of the Summer of Love!
