Original 1st printing 14&1/8 x 21&1/8" concert poster for Chuck Berry with the Steve Miller Band and Kensington Market at the Fillmore West in San Francisco, CA on 9/5-7/1968. Art by (and SIGNED in black flair pen by) Lee Conklin, image is #135 in the Bill Graham/Fillmore series. Medium flat index stock poster is in excellent to near mint (B+ to B+/A-) condition; a couple of tiny edge dings in the left and right margins (mostly in the upper left margin), a hint of handling/surface wear and a few lightly-drawn pencil flourishes (done by Lee himself) on the reverse (this was one of his personal copies), otherwise a fantastic-looking SIGNED example of this classic Conklin image. Apparently this image was originally intended to be used for the Dead shows from the previous week (that's what the skulls were supposed to represent), but last-minute scheduling changes delineated this one to the Chuck and Steve show. A little history for ya.
