Original 1st printing 28&1/2 x 22" concert poster for the Who with the James Cotton Blues Band and Magic Sam on 8/13-15/1968, Creedence Clearwater Revival, It's A Beautiful Day and Albert Collins on 8/16-18/1968, the Grateful Dead with the Kaleidoscope and Albert Collins on 8/20-22/1968, and Quicksilver Messenger Service with Spooky Tooth and Cold Blood on 8/23-25/1968, all shows at the Fillmore West in San Francisco, CA. Art by Rick Griffin and Alton Kelley, image is #133 in the Bill Graham/Fillmore series. Medium flat index stock poster is in good (B) condition; a pair of inking flaws (water stains from the printing press) just to the right of "San Francisco" and just above "Bloom" (about 2"), slightly off-register printing in the lettering areas, a few small roll/stress bends, light handling and a few small surface marks scattered here and there (nothing too serious), otherwise fine. An overall very presentable example of this oversized Fillmore poster with killer Griffin/Kelley art and featuring top-notch headliners.
