ROTARY CONNECTION AND JETHRO TULL:
RARE - VINTAGE Original 1st printing concert poster for ROTARY CONNECTION appearing with JETHRO TULL at the Labor Temple in Minneapolis, MN on 2/9/1970. TICKETS WERE $3.50 EACH AND YOU COULD GET THEM AT DAYTON’S AND ELECTRIC FETUS. Rotary Connection was an American psychedelic soul band, formed in Chicago in 1966. Rotary Connection is best known as being the backing band for Muddy Waters on his psychedelic blues album Electric Mud. Tull were a British rock group, formed in Luton, Bedfordshire, in December 1967. Initially playing blues rock, the band soon developed its sound to incorporate elements of British folk music and hard rock to forge a progressive rock signature. The band was led by vocalist/flautist/guitarist Ian Anderson, and included other significant members such as guitarist Martin Barre, keyboardist John Evan, drummers Clive Bunker, Doane Perry, and Barriemore Barlow, and bassists Glenn Cornick, Jeffrey Hammond, and Dave Pegg. The reverse has ink residue from being placed on top of other posters. The artist only had two days to get the poster done, so it was printed on smaller poster stock and in a reduced timeframe, not allowing the inks to dry. NEAR MINT, RARE AND VINTGE. MIT.FUN FACT: Jethro Tull not being the headliner was pretty amazing and they only got $550!
ABOUT THE MINNEAPOLIS LABOR TEMPLE:
The Labor Temple was on the 100 block of 4th St. SE. (Central Ave & 4th St). The Minneapolis Labor Temple was demolished decades ago. It was next door to today's Aveda Institute. Address: 117 SE 4th Street (now a surface parking lot for Aveda).
In January, 1969, the third floor of the Labor Temple in Minneapolis started holding concerts on Sunday nights, featuring national (and international bands). The first concert was held on February 2, 1969 and featured The Grateful Dead with local band Blackwood Apology opening up with their rock opera called “House of Leather.” The third floor was packed and people were turned away at the door due to the lack of room. Community News, a local company, began doing the light shows for the concerts, using home made “movie screens” draped across the back of the stage, as well as the posters for the events.
BR>The Labor Temple was supposed to hold 3,000 people for these Sunday night concerts, however, the local fire department required folding chairs to be used and a maximum capacity of 1,250 people, due to safety concerns. The reduced crowd size and other issues with the City of Minneapolis became a financial burden and the concerts at the Labor Temple came to an end in the middle of 1970.
BR>The Labor Temple concerts were never professionally recorded, but there are some bootlegs that can be found. Dick's Picks Volume 26 is the 26th installment of the Grateful Dead's archival series was recorded on April 27, 1969 at the Labor Temple in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Juryj “George” Ostroushko is a Twin Cities artist with a passion for music. As part of Community News, his job was to create images and effects for the light show for each concert at the Minneapolis Labor Temple. He was always trying new effects with gels, oils, lights, screens and drapes. Additionally he designed each main poster for every concert. Already an artist and hippie from the West Bank of Minneapolis, Juryj always carried a sketch pad with him and when ideas came up he drew them. Many of these sketches were used in the posters he designed. Juryj traveled to San Francisco in the hey-day of the Haight-Ashbury and Fillmore Era days. As a known artist in the Bay Area, he knew many other posters artists, and they shared their works with each other. His influences can be seen in the likes of Fillmore and Avalon posters, just as they influenced his work. He is a true artist and influencer of the psychedelic era and continues his passion for fine art and music to this day.
