------GBR-G/G 1955-09-16 P-1 ------1955-09-16 / GBR G/G CP004513 / CD05752 Trumpet Poster found at the Grande by Russ Gibb Notes: There has discussion as to whether this is part of the {Russ Gibb} run of events, starting in the mid-1960s. I interviewed Russ Gibb twice on this, and he told me that these were found in the {Grande Ballroom}, when they took over, a unused pack of 20-30 of them. They were from a bygone era, either 1960, 1955, 1949, 04 1938, according to my perpetual calendar.

The reasons and discussion on this would fill a small article, and no doubt, an article will be forthcoming. In brief, my argument goes like this:

(1) Russ Gibb went to San Francisco, met {Bill Graham}, was introduced to the whole concept of the dancehall/lightshow/hippie scene, was wowed by it, and determined to come back and start his own venue. (2) While he was there, he watched the equipment (backstage) for the {Byrds} being loaded or unloaded. It imprinted on him. (3) The Byrds first played at the Fillmore, Friday September 16, 1966. This is the precise date of the Trumpet Poster. (4) Russ Gibb says he came back and started the Grande within a few weeks. This would fit in with an October 7 opening. (5) Russ came back totally aware of what psychedelic posters looked like, having been transfixed by what he saw at the Fillmore. He told me he that this is a piece of art from another era. I agree. (6) Russ Gibb claims that there were no false or premature openings or announcements.

That's the best argument that I can come up with for this NOT being a part of the Russ Gibb run of posters for the '60s Grande Ballroom.

I brought this to the attention of Grande-expert {Eric King} and he did some research on it and arrived at the same conclusion. It is a poster from a previous incarnation of the Grande Ballroom, and not a Russ Gibb Production.

------GBR-G/G 1966 T-1 ------1966 / GBR G/G CP010035 / CS05131 Free Ticket for Grande Ballroom Notes: Grande Free Pass

The "Good for One Free Trip at the Grande" pass has more than passing meaning. It was the key to distributing the Grande postcards on the street and in schools. Volunteers, mostly high-school-aged kids, would get a stack of cards to pass out, plus a free pass to the Grande for themselves. Russ Gibb, who ran the Grande Ballroom, says that this was the ticket, so to speak, to bring in the crowds. While posters in Detroit did not have the effect that posters in San Francisco had, and handbills were only somewhat better, the cards turned out to actually work best. These cards are quite rare.

There may be 7-8 in existence. This is one of the most sought-after posters in the series and is considered essential for any collection, but few have turned up.

Poster only. No card or handbill. Rare item.Grimshaw's third poster for the {Grande Ballroom}, nicknamed the "Zebraman." Now, this poster is good sized, measuring something like 17.5x2.5, but it seems, in person, larger than that. It is very striking. The image came from a Time Magazine cover and was first used by {Alton Kelley} and {Stanley Mouse} for FD-28 of the {Family Dog} series, something like a month earlier. This is a sentimental favorite for me, because I played at that gig and my band, The {Prime Movers}, is on the poster. Nostalgia aside, this is a powerful poster when seen on the wall.

This was perhaps the last poster Grimshaw created before he traveled to the west coast. This is not a Russ Gibb production, but is listed as the "1967 Steering Committee." It was intended as something similar to the San Francisco 'Human Be-In' and included a long list of poets, musicians, radicals, and the like. As the story goes, the police were so worried about this large gathering of radical types, that they engineered a huge bust just prior to the concert, concentrating on the heads and the psychedelic community. Russ Gibb, who had made the ballroom available, decided to withdraw the use of the Grande, and the event never took place. The poster was printed on newsprint, and copies that have not been treated for acid deterioration are doing just that, deteriorating. Hard to find.

Gary Grimshaw: This is January 29th. And this is on newsprint. I don't think the event happened. I think when this was published and put up around Detroit, they decided to bust Trans-Love and there was a big raid. At the night that it happened, they arrested like 30 or 40 people and most of them were released the next day, except for John Sinclair. I wasn't there. I had been hanging out there and doing all this art work and stuff, but I was visiting my girlfriend that particular night, so I didn't get caught up in the raid. I don't think that show ever happened.

'Black to Comm' refers to a switch on the back of a guitar amplifier.

Gary Grimshaw: that's the reprint of the Grande Ballroom poster from 1967. I can tell because I wanted to reprint this and I paid to have it published. I asked Leni to send me a copy of the original print of the photo, but she had cropped it differently. On the original version, his face comes up higher, but because she had cropped something off the bottom, I had to touch it up.

------2004-12-18 P ------2004-12-18 / CP007394 Complete Michigan Russ Gibb Grande Ballroom Series $62,000 Notes: Complete Michigan Grande Ballroom Set (posters and cards) $62,000 Complete Michigan Set, 43 Posters, 81 Standard Cards, 6 Extra Cards The posters, handbills, and cards of the {Grande Ballroom} series by promoter {Russ Gibb} is one of the best-kept secrets of modern poster collection. While most of the attention for psychedelic posters has focused on San Francisco and the numbered series of the {Family Dog} and {Bill Graham}, no less of an expert in San Francisco posters than {Eric King} (who wrote the bible on the Bay- area posters) had this to say about the Grande material: "I realized that these [Grande series] genuinely rivaled the best work of the major San Francisco artists." In the summer of 1966, Michigan school teacher and local record-hop promoter Russ Gibb journeyed to the Bay Area to visit a friend and met up with entrepreneur Bill Graham, who gave him a tour, not only of the {Fillmore Auditorium}, but of the whole idea of the psychedelic scene. Gibb returned to Michigan determined to create his own Midwest version of the dancehalls and psychedelic trappings that he had witnessed in San Franciso, and with a matter of weeks had done so. The Grande Ballroom was born and it ran from October of 1966 until the early 1970s, in one incarnation or another. {!P CP007420 "Ultra Rare Grande 'Zebraman' Poster"} But it is the series of shows put on by promoter Russ Gibb that are the focus of assiduous collecting by a small group of dedicated collectors, who have had their eyes opened as to the beauty and historical value of this series. The set consists of about 40 posters, some 81 postcards, and a still-undetermined (and still emerging) number of handbills. At the heart of the Grande Ballroom series is the work of artist {Gary Grimshaw}, who has been called the "hardest working man in the poster business," having (along with {Randy Tuten}) probably produced more commercial art than any other poster artist on the scene. Eric King states that had Grimshaw been working in the Bay Area, he would have been placed in the same company as artists {Rick Griffin} and {Stanley Mouse}. {!P CP007387 "Gorgeous Rationals Poster"} The Grande series, in the beginning, had quite a few posters (and many handbills), but over time, the accent on posters was replaced by a greater use of the postcards, as Detroit did not have that many places at the time to display posters. So the posters gave way to the cards and many of these cards are still available to collectors today. The posters on the other hand are already somewhat rare and some of the handbills are so rare that there may be but one known copy. {!P CP007399 "Lovely and Rare Cream Poster"} Today, many of the major Grande Ballroom posters are rare high- ticket items like any of the Family Dog or Bill Graham Presents originals, costing several thousand dollars apiece. And they can be very difficult to find. A complete set of Grande Posters has never appeared on the market, to my knowledge, but there have been a few near-complete sets that have surfaced. This set includes ALL the Michigan posters in the set and is missing only the two pop shows that were done in Cincinnati and St. Louis. Everything else is there. On the card side, included are all 81 cards in the standard collected series, plus many rare cards that often collected with this set. Here are a couple of other articles on this great venue: {!A CP000147 015 "Grande Ballroom Set"} {!A CP000027 001 "The Grande Ballroom}
