We are pleased to present the FIRST CGC Graded example of this Fillmore East Original Poster to appear in our auction! There were relatively few posters produced for Bill Grahams East Coast Venue The Fillmore East. Instead the promoter produced "Playbill" style programs. This difficult to locate FE poster was for an appearance by Traffic in 1968 which fell in between their first two stellar albums. Blue Cheer and Iron Butterfly were in support. The image was designed by artist David Byrd. This poster is in splendid Museum Quality Condition with no visible flaws of any kind!

 

When you consider how many millions of dollars of posters we have auctioned over the past 13 years and that this is the FIRST CGC example to appear and you can begin to understand what an opportunity this is!
