The “Sound” was Bill Graham’s own description of what was going on musically in San Francisco in October of 1966. Artist Wes Wilson used Bill's words as the inspiration for this classic Fillmore poster.  This poster is very large and thus difficult to find in undamaged condition. In June 2018 a lower 9.0 graded example realized $748 in our auction. In any other collectibles market this poster would be worth many multiples of the previously sold 9.0 example. It will be interesting to see what premium the market attaches to this superior 9.6 example now.

Since the inception of PAE 10 years ago we have consistently advised collectors to focus on the first 30 issues of the Bill Graham series. History has proved our advise was correct then and we are sticking with it now. These early issues from the first year of the Fillmore Auditorium enjoy tremendous collector demand for the tiny and dwindling supply of high quality examples. We believe they represent amazing values at current price levels.
