Original 1st printing 28&3/8 x 22" uncut printer's color test proof sheet featuring a pair of concert posters (no info/lettering) for the Jimi Hendrix Experience appearing with the Buddy Miles Express and Dino Valenti at Winterland from 10/10-12/1968 and Iron Butterfly appearing with Sea Train and Sir Douglas Quintet + 2 at the Fillmore West from 10/17-19/1968 (all in San Francisco, CA). Art by Rick Griffin (who has also HAND-SIGNED the sheet in thick black paint pen) and Victor Moscoso, images are #'s 140 and 141 in the Bill Graham/Fillmore series. This example is a printer's test proof (variant) featuring just the cyan/magenta and yellow passes of ink (no final black pass). Medium-thick flat index stock poster/proof is in very good (B/B+) condition; there are a set of tack holes (all four corners and in the top center margin), a long vertical crease running along the right-hand margin, a series of thin creases/tiny bends scattered around the outer margin area, a tiny edge nip/pull in the upper left margin and a few stray pinch dings, pin-prick surface spots and thin stress bends hiding within the image area, otherwise fine. ULTRA-COOL and EXTREMELY UNIQUE original 1968 Hendrix proof sheet with a FAT Rick Griffin signature, this is the ONLY one of these I have EVER seen.
