This is an original Bill Graham Program advertising a run of shows at the legendary Fillmore East in New York City, featuring Quicksilver Messenger Service, Van Morrison, Tom Paxton, and more on 4/3-5/70.

These shows took place during a high point in Van Morrison's career, and he played material from his third studio album, Moondance.

The Fillmore East was Bill Graham's contribution to the New York City music scene in the late 1960s. The venue operated from March 1968 to June 1971. During that period, the Fillmore East hosted some of the most memorable shows of the era. Unlike the West Coast Fillmore, the East Coast counterpart did not use many posters to promote each show. Instead, the promoter produced these vintage "Playbill" style programs, featuring beautiful artwork, album advertisements, and bios/photos of the band's upcoming shows at the venue.
