Description

Original 1st printing (light purple/buff lettering, OHB-C in the Eric King guide) 5&1/8 x 8&5/8" blank-reverse concert handbill for Jefferson Airplane, the Paul Butterfield Blues Band and Muddy Waters appearing together at the Fillmore Auditorium and Winterland in San Francisco, CA from 9/23-25 and from 9/30-10/2/1966. (*Winterland shows were canceled/moved back to the Fillmore)
 
 Art by Wes Wilson, image ("The Sound") is # 29 in the Bill Graham/Fillmore series.
 
 Medium-thin flat vellum stock handbill is in near mint (A-) condition; aside from a nearly-invisible soft diagonal bend just above "Dance" in the upper left corner, it is an absolutely GORGEOUS example of this beautiful Wes Wilson-designed handbill from Bill Graham's first extended-engagement bookings, covering two full weeks of shows; were it not for a bit of unplanned civil unrest in the neighborhood that week, these would have been the first BG Winterland shows.
