Original 1st printing (red Wes Wilson credit) 14&1/4 x 20" concert poster for Jefferson Airplane appearing with the Grateful Dead at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco, CA from 8/12-13/1966. Art by Wes Wilson (GD photo by Herb Greene), image is # 23 in the Bill Graham/Fillmore series. Medium-thick flat vellum stock poster is in good (B) condition; a set of pin/staple holes in each of the four corners and in the bottom center margin, a few semi-pronounced horizontal stress/roll bends traversing the top edge of the Airplane photo, plus a few more stray bends scattered around the image area, a hint of toning and a few light fingerprints and handling dings, otherwise fine. An overall very nice-looking, if gently used 1st printing example of this iconic Dead/Airplane image (the very first Bill Graham Fillmore poster in the numbered series to feature photos of the performers).
