We can say with great certainty that this handbill (as with many from 1966) exists in even smaller quantities than the poster itself. The BG-3 original first printing handbill was just the third image in the Bill Graham Fillmore series and a leap forward in design for artist Wes Wilson. The shows featured Jefferson Airplane and the headlining act - the Paul Butterfield Blues Band who were quickly becoming a high-profile national act after several members backed Bob Dylan at his famous Newport Folk Festival Electric debut.
