Lithograph poster for 1968 concert in San Francisco, featuring Canned Heat, Gordon Lightfoot, and Cold Blood. Border of swirling, interconnected figures, faces, breasts and curlicues in pink, yellow, purple, red, black.

Central block of text in stylized, distorted letters:
Canned Heat
Gordon Lightfoot
Cold Blood
Fillmore
West

Surrounding "Fillmore West" appears to be a background growing out of the border chaos, but is actually stylized green text on yellow:

Lights by Holy See (lower right)

Black banner along top edge with red text: Bill Graham Presents in San Francisco; block of text along bottom edge with ticket locations.

This scene is from Jessica Dragonette’s debut on NBC’s Cities Service program on January 3, 1930. Dragonette is pictured with the Cities Service forty-piece orchestra, conductor Rosario Bourdon, announcer Ford Bond, and the Cavaliers Quartet. The singer’s seven-year engagement with this program (1930–37) made her “a Friday night institution in American homes.” The banner reads “NBC Studio 711 Fifth Avenue.” In 1933 the broadcast would move to Studio 8H––the largest in world––at Radio City Studios in Rockefeller Center.

Singer Jessica Dragonette stands atop a globe, by an NBC microphone held up by the allegorical figure of “Radio.” Dragonette is dressed in the vintage Worth gown she wore for the “Lights Golden Jubilee,” celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of Thomas Edison’s invention of the lightbulb. Held in Dearborn, Michigan on October 21, 1929, the event also honored Henry Ford’s Greenfield Village (originally the Edison Institute). Dragonette sang “Little Grey Home in the West,” one of Edison’s favorite songs. A photograph of Jessica Dragonette in this Worth gown appeared in Radio Digest in November 1932 when she was proclaimed "Queen of the Air."
