Original 1st printing 28 x 41" oversize extra-large kiosk-style marquee/schedule poster for a series of late-Spring 1968 shows held the Fillmore East in New York City. Shows listed include: the Byrds, Tim Buckley and the Foundations (5/17-18), Ravi Shankar with Alla Rakha (5/24), Country Joe & the Fish and Blue Cheer (5/25) Moby Grape and the Fugs (5/31-6/10), Electric Flag (with unlisted special guest Jimi Hendrix on June 8th) and Quicksilver Messenger Service (6/7-8); all shows backed by the incredible Joshua Light Show. Design by Jerry Pompili, image is an un-numbered part of the Bill Graham/Fillmore East series (the dates fall shortly after the BG FE-7 Hendrix concert); Medium-thin flat vellum stock poster is in fantastic near mint (A-/B+) condition; just a couple of very light creases along the bottom edge, a tiny nip tear in the upper left margin/edge and a trace of handling wear, otherwise fine. As a note of provenance, this poster originally was obtained directly from the printer's personal archive. A very cool-looking, MEGA-UNCOMMON and unique EXTRA-LARGE Fillmore East item.
