Janis Joplin Cal Expo Sacramento 1969 Vintage Concert Poster

Step back into the height of the 1969 West Coast music movement with this restored vintage concert poster featuring Janis Joplin live at Cal Expo in Sacramento, California.

Presented by Equinox Ltd. as an indoor dance-concert on Saturday, October 11, 1969, this show featured Janis Joplin fronting her Kozmic Blues Band shortly after their iconic performance at Woodstock. Supporting acts included blues-rockers Blues Image and Sanpaku. The poster captures the authentic atmosphere of late-1960s counterculture gigs, promising liquid light shows, free incense, open floor seating, and a intimate communal vibe.

The artwork features a stark, high-contrast black silhouette portrait of Janis Joplin standing in her signature flared trousers and fringed poncho set against a solid bright canary-yellow field. Bold, fluid hand-drawn lettering arcs across the top header, while vintage ticket location details anchor the bottom margin.

Digitally restored to clean up background imperfections, boost yellow color saturation, and sharpen deep ink blacks, this print makes a minimalist yet striking statement piece for classic rock collections, record lounges, and music studios.
