Big Brother and the Holding Company The Matrix 1967 Cheshire Cat Vintage Concert Poster

Step into the intimate birthplace of the San Francisco Sound with this restored vintage concert poster featuring Big Brother and the Holding Company at The Matrix.

Promoting a three-night stand from Tuesday through Thursday, April 25–27, 1967, at the famous club founded by Jefferson Airplane’s Marty Balin at 3138 Fillmore Street, this print captures the raw early era when Janis Joplin and Big Brother were forging their signature blues-rock sound in intimate San Francisco venues.

Designed by artist Leidenthal, the graphic features a grinning, cross-hatched Cheshire Cat figure perched atop an ornate Art Nouveau banner. Saturated in bright canary yellow and hot crimson red, the design utilizes fluid hand-lettered typography framed by decorative scrollwork and floral medallions.

Digitally restored for intense red and yellow saturation, clean ink line detail, and balanced color contrast, this print makes a fantastic addition to classic rock collections, home record lounges, and 1960s poster displays.
