Original 1st printing 13 x 22&1/8" concert poster for Santana with the Collectors and Melanie at the Fillmore West in San Francisco, CA on 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 excellent (B+) condition; a pair of 1" hard diagonal creases and a 3" soft bend in the lower left corner, one or two stray pinch dings and ultra-tiny stress bends, a minor corner bump in the top right corner, a few random tiny surface scratches/scuffs and a really subtle/hard-to-see horizontal machine/roller mark traversing the center of the poster, otherwise fine. One of the brightest Fillmore posters in the series, this one makes a really great use of negative space. Apparently, Sony Legacy liked this image so much, they co-opted it for the cover of the "Santana-Live at Fillmore" CD (which was actually the BG 150 show).
