Poster for Led Zeppelin's first San Francisco performance
The vast hallways and ballrooms have been covered with banners, posters, and photographs, displaying the rich history of the performers, venues, promoters, and artists in San Francisco's music scene. The exhibition also includes the original backstage door to the Winterland Ballroom, which was the place to be back in the day.
Visitors will also get the chance to check out the Old Mint's vaults and counting rooms. Exciting!
All proceeds will benefit the San Francisco Historical Society, who are currently raising $83 million to restore and renovate the building.
Noon-5 p.m. // Old Mint Building (88 Fifth St.) // $10

thanks for posting this Leanne. I get the feeling this draws mostly a blank from most of the other writers on SFist
probably couldn't even gather many of the intentional double meanings in some of the poster artwork, either
Actually, SFist Joel gave me the heads-up about the show. I wish I could make it this weekend! I saw some of the collection when it was on display in the basement of City Hall. I didn't catch any of the double meanings though. If you go, fill us in!
Will that one lady have her plaster casts there?
Too close to my office, it would feel like work.
