About the Image
This poster is a fantastic modern example of the classic psychedelic rock poster style, rooted deeply in the aesthetics of the late 1960s and early 1970s, though this particular event took place on Sunday, Nov. 10th.
The Headliner: The main act is prominently featured as Eric Burdon and The Animals. Eric Burdon is the lead singer of the legendary British Invasion band, known for hits like "The House of the Rising Sun."
Aesthetic Style: The artwork uses an intense, warm color palette dominated by deep reds, golds, and oranges, giving it a very rich and vintage feel.
Typography: The lettering for the band's name is highly stylized, large, and decorative—a defining feature of the psychedelic poster movement, where the text itself often became part of the visual art.
Art Nouveau Influence: Like many posters of the era (or those inspired by it), it incorporates elements of Art Nouveau, seen in the flowing, organic lines of the central figures and the elaborate, decorative border that frames the main content.
Imagery: The central illustration appears to be a mystical or allegorical scene, with flowing hair/tentacles and a sun-like fan, fitting the spiritual and evocative themes often present in rock art. A portrait of Eric Burdon is visible in the bottom right corner.
Format: The poster lists the venue as Legends, located at 919 Douglas St. in Victoria, B.C., giving it a specific geographical and historical context.
