Description

On December 15th of 1967 the Soul Survivors, with the Box Tops and Jimmerfield Legend played the first of two weekend shows at the Family Dog Denver venue at 1601 W Evans St, Denver CO. The central image is of a customized drag bike motorcycle with the word “Truth” (the name of this poster) on a chrome plate. Artist Alton Kelley was a motorcycle mechanic and enthusiast. His monster bike here has a sideways mounted small block V-8 with headers. Not surprisingly, Kelley chose “Kelly” brand tires for his bike.

 

 

The Soul Survivors were a Philadelphia based soul music and R & B group known for their Top Ten 1967 hit, Expressway to your Heart. The Box Tops, had a smash hit, The Letter, which was #1 on the charts for four weeks in the Fall of 1967.
