This super scarce poster is a bit of a mystery. It is a Mid- week Bill Graham Fillmore poster however it does not for some reason fall into the BG numbered series. It is not in the “Art of Rock” and Eric King does not acknowledge it in his guide.

This poster uses the same art as BG -232 A 

This poster came from the proprietors of one of the first San Francisco vintage clothing shops ! They would get posters every week to display in their window.

As a bonus glued to the back was a surprise ! Mad Magazines Wally Woods x –rated skewering (or rather screwing) of Disney characters. This piece in and of itself is a collector’s item. It was printed in the underground paper “The Realist” and made quite a stink at the time.
