B-52's by Rex Ray (F-529)

This concert poster, designated F-529 in the Fillmore's systematic cataloging of post-revival era productions, documents a performance pairing two distinct musical traditions: The B-52's, the influential Athens, Georgia ensemble whose 1979 debut helped define new wave aesthetics, and Puffy AmiYumi, exemplars of the J-pop genre then gaining significant traction in American popular culture.The visual program employs a centrifugal composition organized around a flattened globe projection, with curvilinear text elements and directional arrows establishing orbiting motion around the central sphere. The band's name treatment, rendered with horizontal speed lines in a warm chromatic progression, evokes both mid-century modern dynamism and the kinetic energy associated with the group's performance style. The radiating background lines reference both vintage advertising conventions and the psychedelic poster tradition with which the Fillmore remains historically associated.This poster represents the continuation of Bill Graham Presents' commitment to original poster art for each Fillmore engagement, maintaining a tradition established during the venue's initial 1965-1971 period of operation.Size: 19" x 13"Artist: Rex RayCondition: Very Good, Age-appropriate wear, fading and toning.
