Original 1st printing 13 x 22&1/8" concert poster for Santana appearing with the Collectors and Melanie at the Fillmore West in San Francisco, CA from 2/13-16/1969. Art by Greg Irons, image is # 160 in the Bill Graham/Fillmore series. Medium glossy-coated index stock poster is in very good to excellent (B/B+ to B+) condition; a couple of tiny creases in the four corner tips, a bit of light smudging in the upper right corner, a few stray tiny surface scratches/scuffs here and there and a fair amount of (easily-erasable) pencil writing (accounting between Postermat and Artrock) on the reverse, otherwise fine. One of the coolest mid-period Fillmore posters, this one makes a really great use of negative space. In 1998, Sony Legacy co-opted it for the cover of the "Santana-Live at Fillmore" CD (which was actually the BG 150 show).
