This original first printing poster is signed in pencil by the artist, the late great Wes Wilson!
This poster has also been authenticated on the reverse by the Godfather of 1960s Psychedelic Concert Posters, Eric King! The lightly penciled inscription represents what concert poster authentication looked like prior to CGCs authentication of these items (See photo).
The BG-13 - Lenny Bruce is a must-own for any Fillmore poster collector, and this CGC 9.6 is as good as it gets. Signed in pencil by artist Wes Wilson, it is one of the artist’s most powerful and meaningful posters of the series. This performance by Lenny Bruce at the Fillmore was to be the groundbreaking comedian's last ever. The night showcased the heavily addicted comic’s tragic decline in full sound and color. By all accounts, Lenny Bruce was clearly at the end of his rope, and his speed-fueled diatribe was not a comedy act or entertaining. The Mothers saved the show, according to Bill Graham.
