Here we have a super early BG poster featuring an All-Star list of San Francisco’s legendary bands of the era including the very young Grateful Dead and Big Brother! Wes Wilson's "Independence Ball" also features The Charlatans The Great Society Sopwith Camel and more.

 

It goes without saying very few of these early Fillmore posters have survived the test of time in ANY condition and therefore they are always being hunted by collectors around the globe. We have only offered CGC Graded examples of this rare original poster a handful of times now and this one is in museum quality condition! In September 2016 a slightly higher 9.8 graded example realized $1622 in our auction.
