About the Poster

Offered is the first printing of the BG 10-OP-1 poster signed by Wes Wilson created to promote a pair of concerts, presented by Bill Graham at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco on June 10 & 11, 1966. These pioneering shows featured performances by the Jefferson Airplane, Great Society (with Grace Slick before she joined Jefferson Airplane) and Heavenly Blues Band. Both top and bottom of the poster have been folded about one inch from the top  and bottom.  The top left corner has 2 small pin holes, the top right corner has four pin holes, and the bottom corners have two pin holes.  I do not observe any paper aging and the print quality is very strong.

Wes Wilson is currently charging $250 for his signature.

Pictures are the best description on the condition of this poster.  I have taken many and will provide more upon request.  

Date of Performance: June 10-11, 1966

I have gone through great lengths to insure that my posters have been maintained using only archival materials.  I have preserved them on acid free paper mounted by protective corners stored flat in binders.  On most of the photos of posters that I will be offering you may notice these corner protectors. 

Shipping Info :

To best insure their safe shipping I will therefore recommend using Fedex/UPS to mail this poster flat.  Should you want a cheaper alternative and are willing to accept responsibility, please contact me. 

 I know that many sellers roll the posters into a container which is much cheaper but may lead to slight damage of wrinkling and handling issues which, due to my view of these being not only pieces or art but historical offerings, I hesitate to do.  

But if you  prefer the roll up method, the poster will be sent in a 4" PVC tube via USPS Priority Mail.

General Fillmore Information

These posters were very cheaply made; especially the earlier ones.  Bill Graham never envisioned that they would someday become collector items.  They were intended to be posted on walls, telephone poles, etc. to advertise that week’s performing artists only to be torn down, discarded and replaced next week with a new poster for the next show.  No one gave thought to such subjects as handling creases, tack holes, etc.  There was little attention made to quality of ink and paper.  Many times the printer would run out of paper and would simply use whatever they had in stock. 

As such, maintaining them in ‘pristine’ condition is an on-going challenge.   

I have gone through great lengths to insure that these posters have been maintained using only archival materials.  I have preserved them on acid free paper mounted by protective corners stored flat in binders.  On most of the photos of posters that I will be offering you may notice these corner protectors. 

I will be offering more Fillmore Posters in the weeks and months to follow. 

After that, I will offering Avalon Posters.
