1966 BG-33 The Yardbirds Fillmore Auditorium Poster CGC 9.2

Here’s a chance to pick up one of the definite sleepers in the Bill Graham, Fillmore series !

The British Blue’s incubator named the “Yardbirds” are an integral page in the encyclopedia of rock and roll history. The Band formed in 1963 and was the springboard for some of the UK’s most notable gunslingers, Clapton, Beck and Page. The Yardbirds were at the center of the British Invasion and eventually morphed into Led Zeppelin.

The Yardbirds October ‘66 Fillmore performance was one of the last for guitar virtuoso Jeff Beck (who just left us a few weeks ago) on guitar and Jimmy Page on bass. After that Page took over lead on guitar.

This John H. Myers design uses a photograph by Gered Mankowitz of the highly influential British blues band as the central image for this early Bill Graham original concert poster. This 1966, pre-concert first printing poster is 100% Original with no restoration of any kind. The BG-33 stands as a very rare poster from the BG series that does not surface often! We previously auctioned a lower 8.5 graded example for $3,300.00 in May of 2021. This high quality 9.2 graded example here is without a doubt one of the highlights of this auction!
