How did this billing work? Pretty well,
actually. Allen came over to the Camel House to practice ringing his bell, chanting and reading his poetry, while the Camel played whatever came into their heads. Later that night, we repeated what we rehearsed, as far as we know.
The show had skits from
the Committee, jazz groups, modern dance, ballet, and the Mime Troupe. |

Fillmore Poster Collection #14 1966 Perhaps the phrase "San Francico Nights" says it all. This 3 day billing in July was typical in 1966 of the city's night life. Add the Avalon Ballroom shows to the mix and that is why millions of people had to come here the following year. There was nothing like it in the known universe! Wes Wilson |

Fillmore Poster Collection #18 1966 Featured the Association, Quicksilver Messenger Service and the Sopwith Camel. The poster was done by Wes Wilson and was, and maybe still is, displayed in the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Wes Wilson |
