Description

Original 1st printing 22 x 28&1/2" concert poster for a series of Bill Graham-produced shows held at the Fillmore West in San Francisco, CA from 8/13-25/1968.

 Shows listed include: the Who appearing with James Cotton and Magic Sam (8/13-15), Creedence Clearwater Revival with It's A Beautiful Day and Albert Collins (8/16-18), the Grateful Dead with Kaleidoscope and Albert Collins (8/20-22) and Quicksilver Messenger Service with Spooky Tooth and Cold Blood (8/23-25).

 Art by Rick Griffin and Alton Kelley, image is # 133 in the Bill Graham/Fillmore series.

 Medium-thick flat index stock poster is in near mint to excellent (A-/B+ to B+) condition; really nothing more than a VERY soft bend in the upper left margin, a few soft handling creases/fingerprints scattered around the outer margin area and a lightly toned reverse, otherwise it is an absolutely GORGEOUS 1st printing example of this iconic Griffin/Kelley collaboration from 1968.

 This image was originally intended for the Family Dog (FD 130/131 shows), but since Chet couldn't afford color printing, Rick took it over to Bill Graham and simply swapped out the band listings/dates in the left/right panels.
