Big Brother and the Holding Company Fried BG 124 1968

BG 124 Big Brother and the Holding Company, The Foundations, The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, Holy See Ticket Set Artists: Bob Fried and Jonathan Julian Date: Jun 13, 1968 - Jun 15, 1968 Venue: Fillmore Auditorium San Francisco, CA Size: 2 13/16" x 4 5/8" "As a result of their galvanizing performance at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967, Big Brother & the Holding Co. and their lead singer Janis Joplin were quickly thrust into the national spotlight. Because of existing contractual obligations however, it would be more than a year before the band was able to take advantage of all the good cheer. BG124 represents a time when Big Brother was poised for stardom, yet without an album. A few months after these shows, "Cheap Thrills" would be released and shoot to number one. A few months after that, Janis Joplin would leave Big Brother for a solo career." W.V.
