Original 1st printing 14&1/8 x 19&7/8" concert poster for Jefferson Airplane appearing with the Grateful Dead at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco, CA from 8/12-13/1966.
Art by Wes Wilson, image is # 23 in the Bill Graham/Fillmore series. (BG 23-OP-1 in the Eric King guide)
Medium flat vellum stock poster is in decent/used (B-) condition; as the photo shows, there are numerous staple/pin holes in all four corners with a small wedge of paper missing from the top left corner, a moderate degree of toning, a series of tiny edge dings/nip tears scattered around the outer margin, a small stain above Pigpen's head (and several on the reverse side) a few stray handling creases here and there and other assorted little minor issues (nothing serious)... either a great candidate for restoration or a "filler" example for someone who just wants an original 1st printing at a reduced price.
Conditional issues aside, it IS a first edition, it's the Dead and the Airplane and it has always been one of the most popular images in the series.
