The BG-127 represents concerts from July 2nd through the 7th of 1968. The Paul Butterfield Ten Years After and Truth dates were the first shows at the 'new' Fillmore West - even though the poster does not state this because the artwork was produced prior. Also the band "Truth" did not perform and Fleetwood Mac appeared instead. The first half dates of the poster were the last official shows at the old Fillmore Auditorium featuring the great Creedence Clearwater Revival!

 

Songs by Creedence Clearwater Revival are some of the most memorable and catchy tunes of the era. Unfortunately John Fogerty signed away his publishing rights to an unscrupulous manager Saul Zantz who was also the owner of the band’s label Fantasy records. The final insult came when Zantz sued Fogerty for copying his own style in the Fogerty tune “Old Man Down The Road”.

 

Posters like this are why collectors are now rushing into the hobby. Amazing Psychedelic image. Legendary band. Famous venue. Spectacular condition. Independent third party authentication and grading. In our May 2018 auction another 9.8 example of this poster reached a staggering $1151.00 high water mark. As supply and demand begins to shift collectors are now realizing these original posters will not be around forever. NOW is the time to acquire these relics before they disappear!
