Pristine - Jimi Hendrix Concert Ticket with John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers Friday, Feb 2nd 1968 The Iconic "Flying Eye" Ticket Design! We have acquired a stunning, mint condition Jimi Hendrix Concert Ticket with John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers. These tickets are incredibly scarce because the only way the general public could have a complete ticket is to NOT go to the show! Back in the 1960's, tickets were "turned in" at the venue - there was no "ticket stub." Jimi Hendrix and the Flying Eyeball are images indelibly linked in the psychedelic poster art of the late Rick Griffin. Griffin discovered The Eyeball, in a much more benign form, in the 1950's auto detailing art of California pinstriper Von Dutch and reworked it over time to become the winged, bloodshot figure parting a ring of fire with serpent-like tentacles. The highlighted lettering, vivid color, and complicated imagery reflect Griffin's attention to precise details and the influence of Indian lore and archeology on his work. The Eyeball became associated exclusively with Hendrix's music in future billings and recordings of his performances. Before the dawn of computers and bar codes (i.e. TicketMasters), concert promoters printed their own concert tickets, many of which are now considered exceptional works of art in their own right.
