Original 1st printing 14 x 22&1/2" concert poster for the Grateful Dead appearing with Lightnin' Hopkins and the Loading Zone at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco, CA from 10/21-22/1966 (poster also advertises the 10/23 Yardbirds/Country Joe & the Fish show). Art by Wes Wilson (with a photo by Herb Greene), image is # 32 in the Bill Graham/Fillmore series (OP-1 in the Eric King guide). Medium flat index stock poster is in good/decent (B/B-) condition; there is an approximately 1" diagonal wedge out of the top left corner, a moderate degree of wear/creasing and a few tiny tears along the top margin, a few light surface scuffs and tiny chipped areas, a few stray tiny pin prick age spots and tiny creases along the left/right margins, a few soft handling dings here and there and a VERY subtle amount of toning, otherwise fine. As an added note of provenance, this example comes right from Ben Friedman's legendary Postermat in North Beach.
