STEVE MILLER - SPOOKY TOOTH UNCUT CARD. BG191 Randy Tuten was being flip but honest when he described the posters he drew for the Fillmore West shows as combinations of things he liked and things that fit. Influenced by Rick Griffin's lettering style, Tuten was personally fascinated with vehicles and mechanical constructions. In BG191, the nicely meshed big and little wheels of a gear mechanism advertised four evenings of the Steve Miller and James Cotton Bands. BG192 Randy Tuten's admiration for Stanley Mouse's eye-friendly posters extended to include admiration of the man, too. In Tuten's BG192 collage, the mouse dominates, standing in interesting contrast to the visuals usually presented by Taj Mahal whose colorful, African-patterned clothing was nothing like the black and white linearity of this poster..
