This lot offers the postcard for what is considered by many collectors to be the most famous concert poster from the 1960’s Rick Griffin’s masterpiece the BG-105. It features what is arguably the best artwork ever rendered for a rock concert poster.
This image works on every level. It was created by the most inventive artist of the genre. It’s promoting the most striking musician of the era at the most famous venue of all!
The story behind the poster is that promoter Bill Graham dropped the ball the first time Hendrix played the Fillmore by placing the groundbreaking guitarist third on the bill (BG-69). The next time Hendrix came around it was made clear to Graham by Hendrix management that he needed to make up for his previous lack of judgment. Of course he went straight to Rick Griffin to create the best possible work of art. The rest is history.
CGC graded postcards are VERY popular with collectors. You get a great collectible package the same iconic art for the fraction of what the poster commands.
