The BG-60 is an original Wes Wilson poster for a Big Brother and Howlin' Wolf run of shows at the Fillmore in 1967. It is oversized and powerful in design. The artist gave the legendary Blues man a superfluous "g" at the end of Howlin, this speaks to how quickly the production of these posters were pushed on the artists by the promoter, apparently no time for fact finding!
