Presenting an ORIGINAL Pre-Concert First Printing of the rare, beloved and elusive BG-134 concert poster! This highly sought-after masterpiece by artist Lee Conklin is one of the most requested and well-known posters in the Fillmore series. This stunning black-and-white illustration exemplifies the artists' style of hidden and flowing images. The art was so powerful that Santana had the piece reworked for their first album cover. This image is one of the most used examples of 1960s art in volumes chronicling the genre. In November 2022, a CGC-9.8 graded example of this poster sold at Heritage Auctions for a record-breaking $32,500.00! This example presents an amazing opportunity to collectors to own this historic piece for a FAR lower price!
Condition Details: Pinholes, corner creases, bend and tears middle left edge, tape pulls and residue on reverse.
