David & Tina with Dan Paik Concert Poster — The Jabberwock, Berkeley
Purple display lettering and smaller red details sit against a warm yellow background on this poster for David and Tina Meltzer, appearing with Dan Paik at the Jabberwock on 8 and 9 April.

Dan Crary Concert Poster — The Jabberwock, Berkeley
Deep burgundy lettering, mustard-yellow paper, and a pair of pointing hands give this Dan Crary poster plenty of presence. Advertising his appearances at the Jabberwock on 11 and 12 February 1966, the wide landscape design feels like an old Western handbill, with Crary’s name taking up almost the entire stage.
