Not a common title in the BG numbered series! This is only the third CGC graded example of this issue to appear in our auction. Wes Wilson created this poster for Van Morrison’s first appearance at the Fillmore and Bill Graham’s 12th show at the Fillmore. The Northern Irish R&B band “Them” was Van’s first vehicle for hit records and propelled him into the leading ranks of Blue Eyed soul legends.

 

It’s a wonder this original poster could be preserved in this clean condition for over 50 years. With interest in classic 1960’s Psychedelic Concert Posters growing each day this piece is sure to make a fantastic addition to your collection! Many collectors believe that posters graded 8.5 by CGC represent the best value in the marketplace today. See our blog dated 1/31/18 to learn why demand is currently skyrocketing.
