Footnotes

Rick Griffin designed this poster to promote an art show in Venice, CA for Boyd Elder, later known for his native American themed album covers used by the Eagles. The poster was mailed to the invitees of the party. This is Gary Burden's copy.

El Chingadero:
In April 1972, The El Chingadero show was held in Venice Beach where Boyd Elder exhibited his artwork and hosted many of his Laurel Canyon contemporaries. El Chingadero was a nickname for Boyd Elder. The guests for the art show included a newly signed Eagles (who performed live for the first time) as well as Jackson Browne, seen in this exclusive video performing Take It Easy for an audience that included Joni Mitchell, Mama Cass, David Geffen and many others.
