I have a space over a fireplace that is gonna require a landscape (H>V) orientation. I'd prefer that it be a geepee, but I am having a hard time finding anything great enough to be a focus piece. A square poster would work too, but I'd probably wanna keep the vertical < 24" to leave room for framing.

Any suggestions?

And too bad this isn't a gigposter. It would be a good fit for a fireplace:

Here are a few I came up with.
While I'm wishing....

Bill Graham must have required his posters to be portrait orientation. I kind find very few from the 60s era in a landscape.

A little bit bigger than you wanted, but make it work and it's worth it :)

This Bonnie MacLean classic came to mind, though it definitely has more of a diptych feel to it.

As does this one (which is very cool in person):
