Pink Floyd – “Mad Hatter’s Tea Party” Concert at the Marquee Club, London, 3/15/66

 

The Marquee Club in London has been a musical institution since it opening in 1958 with a roster of jazz and “skiffle” bands. It was first located at 165 Oxford Street, moving in 1964 to its best-known location, at 90 Wardour Street (convenient to the Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square, Oxford Circus and Tottenham Court Tube stations).

 

Over the next decade, nearly every great (and some not-so-great) rock act played to impress the coolest people in the burgeoning London music/fashion scene. Putting on huge performances from the small Marquee Club stage were bands such as The Rolling Stones (who played their first live gig there in July of 1962), The Who, Jimi Hendrix, The Moody Blues (who produced their hit “Go Now” in a studio in the club’s garage and shot the promo video on its stage), YES, David Bowie, Jethro Tull and, on Sundays, as part of the “Spontaneous Underground” series, an R&B band with psychedelic aspirations called Pink Floyd.

 

Bob Masse is from Canada's west coast and has been producing concert posters since the 1960s. While attending art school in Vancouver, British Columbia, he began his career doing posters for the folk acts that came through town, in exchange for free drinks, tickets, and the opportunity to meet the musicians.

Bob was greatly influenced by the art and music scenes in Los Angeles and San Francisco, where he spent considerable time in the late 1960s, producing posters and album covers for various bands of the day. His work from this time is highly sought by collectors.

Bob continues to produce pieces for contemporary performers, such as No Doubt, The Dixie Chicks, Pearl Jam, the Smashing Pumpkins, Alanis Morrisette and many others.
