Presenting the FIRST CGC Graded example of this original poster to appear in any public auction! Artist Jon Stahl created this poster to promote The Paul Butterfield Blues Band Charles Lloyd Quartet and Tom Rush at the historic Fillmore East on April 12th 1968. The venue had only been open for a month. 

 

The Fillmore East was Bill Graham's contribution to the New York City music scene in the late 1960’s. The venue operated from March 1968 to June 1971. During that period the Fillmore East hosted some on the most memorable shows of the era. Unlike the West Coast Fillmore the East Coast counterpart did not use posters to promote each show. This is a special relic from that period - never before offered with CGC authentication until NOW!
