This fabulous original flyer is only one of a few to ever appear in our auction of this issue with CGC grading.  A couple months before Bill Graham & Chet Helms really got the Fillmore rolling two other Family Dog affiliates took over concert producing: Danny Rifkin & Rock Scully. The pair used California Hall as their independent base-venue. They only produced 2 concerts before exploring a different side of San Francisco’s fledgling music industry vis a vis band management most notably with the Grateful Dead.

This flyer was designed by George Hunter of the Charlatans in that same RE-CONTEXTUALIZED old-timey vernacular that was pioneered on the Seed poster. It is also noted as a Family Dog production before the Wes Wilson - Chet Helms FD logo became well recognized.

CGC has brought much needed integrity and stability to the market for Original handbills like this that are relatively easy to counterfeit. For this reason demand and interest has exploded for CGC authenticated and graded handbills as we've consistently explained in recent blogs.
