The Youngbloods, Kaleidoscope, and Hour Glass (with Duane & Gregg Allman) are featured on this uncommon Family Dog issue from 1968. This first-printing poster was designed by psychedelic art pioneer John Thompson. Thompson was a psychedelic artist who contributed to many projects during the 60s. He created posters for various venues and worked on underground comix and newspapers, like the Oracle and the Berkeley Barb. This original Family Dog poster does not surface in our auctions very often.
