Description

Original 21 x 28&1/4" Uncut printer's proof sheet featuring a pair of original 1st printing concert posters for Cold Blood appearing with the Youngbloods, Vanilla Fudge and Richie Havens at the Fillmore West and the Grateful Dead appearing with Quicksilver Messenger Service, Santana and It's A Beautiful Day at Winterland, both shows held on 12/31/1968 in San Francisco, CA. 

Art by Lee Conklin, images are numbers 153 (left side) and 152 (right side) in the Bill Graham/Fillmore series. 

Medium glossy coated index stock poster is in very good (B/B+) condition; there is a 3/4" vertical tear in the upper right margin (going through the "ra" of "Francisco" on the BG 152), along with a small 1&1/2" horizontal/diagonal bend in the lower left margin/corner, a couple of tiny edge ding pressure creases scattered around the outer margin area, a light amount of handling wear and a light to moderate amount of the trademark surface scratching/scuffing that is commonly exhibited on these posters (an inking issue that is inherent to the printing), otherwise fine.

 Overall, a VERY decent example of this always-popular Bill Graham sheet featuring a decidedly psychedelic take on several New Year's Eve traditions.
