Silver border handbill.

[Buda]

Can you post a bigger resolution of the last one? What can be known about this silver version? How rare? Have never seen one before your post..

[TheDoorsMusic]

Nothing is printed on the back. I've never seen one on ebay.

[KBWILDCHILD]

I have this one- it measures " 5 15/32” x 8 15/32”

[TheDoorsMusic]

Nice. I have that one as well.

[BallroomDays67]

The program and foil handbill are from two different events, the latter being from the festival that took place in '69 with the Jimi Hendrix Experience. It isn't very rare.

[Buda]

You're right Mark, thanks for calling my attention to that. Completely forgot they utilized the design and pulled off the '69 event with it as well. It is now worthless to me

[KBWILDCHILD]

does anyone have higher quality scan of this? please

The kind of festival lineup that makes us drool! Thanks Dan.

One of my all time favorite bands was Linn County (Linn County Blues Band) that hailed from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, 30 minutes form my home. One of the more [sychedelic bands of the day. They are mistakenly thought to come from from SF where they made their mark. Amazing vinyl, I have still.

Kris, this is the best I could get my hands on for some time and I'm almost sure this is sourced from here, by one of our spies, who were at the Rock N' Roll Museum in Seattle and took the risk. Every photo I saw of the poster were taken there, of David Swartz' piece. Never seen it on eBay or else either in the last decade. It's gotta be one of the top 3 most scarce Doors posters. However, hope someone can prove me wrong and come up with another print and in better resolution.



Approx. size: 14"x22"

I havent seen this anywhere else either. I have this poster and its in mint (uncirculated condition) and its certainly authentic. How much do you think it will fetch?

[Buda]

Congrats on having one Teo! Andy or Mark might be a better authority on this but I'd say your mint print could go somewhere between 850-1500 USD. As always, it all depends on the buyer. While some folks might pay more because it is not a usual Doors concert poster (but rather a showcase of Jim's very own accomplishment), in some people's eyes this might be the same reason to pay less but obviously in this case they are not the potential buyers.

Post a pic if you can. It would be interesting to see what it looks like.

I've asked this before. It says on the poster ' previously unreleased doors tapes', were part of the show.
Anyone know what tapes??

[Buda]

Well, none of the listed Doors films were released at the time, so I take it as a catchy marketing statement.

[Roughie]

But it is not talking about the films so I would assume it means live tapes, probably ones we already have.

[anytimecowboy]

Yeah i dont think its talking about the films. Besides this poster is there anything else in way of a resource from the festival?

A review or photographs? Articles, first hand accounts, any information?

[universalmind69]

I'm reasonably sure this is talked about in some 1970 issue of Poppin--- can't remember the details. Jim briefly touches upon the even in the Ben Fong Torres interview also.

[Buda]

Finally found Jim Cherry's great article about this, which he wrote back in 2012 in The Doors Examiner. No mention about those "tapes" though.

“Poppin’” magazine hosted the “Jim Morrison Film Festival” which showed Morrison’s newly finished film, “Hiway” (which would later be retitled “HWY” and had started life as “Hitchhiker”), the festival was held March 27, 1970, and despite a rash of logistical problems showed all The Doors films including “Feast of Friends”, the films The Doors made for the songs “Break on Through”, and “Unknown Soldier”, as well as, the BBC documentary, “The Doors are Open”.

“Poppin’” magazine was a rock magazine out of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, that was trying to expand into the U.S. but had run into cash flow problems. One of the owners of the magazine, Hank Zevallos knew Jim Morrison because of an article Zevallos wrote praising Morrison, the artist, instead of as a sex symbol, and Morrison contacted him. Zevallos mentioned his problem to Morrison who suggested having a benefit for the magazine that would include a poetry reading and a showing of “Hiway”.

Zevallos quickly hired a theatre in Vancouver and flew down to Los Angeles to work out the details of the benefit. The first problem he encountered was the length of the film itself. When they originally discussed the film it was assumed that “Hiway” was going to be a feature length movie, i.e. at least a 90 minute movie, but when talking with Morrison in L.A., he discovered that the movie would only be an hour in length (the finished film is only about 15 minutes long) so they came up with the “Jim Morrison Film Festival” idea that would include Morrison’s and Ray Manzarek’s UCLA film’s. The UCLA films fell through leaving The Doors films of the songs and documentaries, but those were enough to fill out a program.

As the date of the festival approached it turned out Morrison wouldn’t be able to attend because of Doors commitments, but a larger problem presented itself, the print of “Hiway” was a 35mm film but the equipment at the movie theater they rented out was only for 16mm films, so they hit upon the rather unique solution of hiring a nearby theater that had the proper equipment to use after their last show and they would have the audience at the Jim Morrison Film Festival leave the first theater after seeing the other films and then walk the couple of blocks to the second theater to screen “Hiway”. The audience was told this was the stipulation of Morrison loaning the festival the film, that the audience had to participate in the film in some way.

“Hiway” was received with silence at the conclusion of the film. The benefit of the “Jim Morrison Film Festival wasn’t enough to save “Poppin’” financially, and the magazine later folded.

“HWY” was shown at other film festivals including the Atlanta International Film Festival.
