The BG-3 Original Handbill issue was just the third in the Bill Graham Fillmore series and a leap forward in design for the late great artist Wes Wilson. The shows featured Jefferson Airplane as well as 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. This first printing handbill is only the second numbered Fillmore image created by Wilson and is also the second numbered Fillmore image featuring Jefferson Airplane!
