Berkeley, CA: n.p, [1971]. Approximately 11 x 14". Graphics poster on yellow stock paper, advertising the band Knee Deep playing at the Long Branch Saloon in Berkeley. Online records show that this concert happened December 10, 1971, in near fine condition.

The Knee Deep band is a rock and roll dance band, still playing in the San Francisco Bay Area. The interesting thing about this poster is the location: 2504 San Pablo Avenue, which has a fascinating rock and roll history. In the 60's, this address had been the site of The Cabale, an essential stop on the 60s folk circuit. It briefly became the Good Buddy, then Caverns West, then the Questing Beast in 1965 where Country Joe and the Fish often played. In 1966 the club then became Tito's and in 1969 the Babylon. The room size was doubled and renamed the Long Branch in 1971. Numerous musicians played here such as Earth Quake, Grootna, Flying Circus, Charlie Musselwhite, Cookin' Mama, Elvin Bishop Group, Linx, Alice Stuart, Commander Cody, Sopwith Camel, the New Riders of the Purple Sage (Jerry Garcia), Tower of Power, Cold Blood, and Knee Deep.
