Jefferson Airplane was at the absolute peak of their popularity and cultural influence in late 1967, making this a historically resonant piece as well as a visually compelling one.The Excellent grade means there are no significant condition concerns, and this poster would display beautifully framed. A wonderful addition for collectors of Jefferson Airplane material, AOR series posters, or Fillmore history more broadly.Domestic (United States) shipping is included in the purchase price.

AOR 2.89 Jefferson Airplane & Mother Earth | Jim Blashfield | Oct 29, 1967 | Excellent

Before there was a poster, there was a performance. The Fillmore was not merely a concert venue — it was the beating heart of a cultural revolution, a room where the boundaries between artist and audience, between blues and psychedelia, between commerce and counterculture, dissolved night after night into something entirely new. This auction traces that history through the paper artifacts that announced it: original posters, handbills, and tickets spanning from April 1966, when the first shows were barely being documented, through the early 1970s, when the era was already beginning to pass into legend.From Wes Wilson's earliest experiments in flowing psychedelic typography to the intricate masterworks of Bonnie MacLean, Rick Griffin, Stanley Mouse, and Alton Kelley, the lots gathered here represent the full arc of the Fillmore's golden age — and the artists who gave it its face. Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and The Doors: these are not merely names on a bill, but the building blocks of a world that still echoes in music, art, and design today. Complete sets with matching handbills and dated tickets sit alongside rare single editions, offering collectors at every level a genuine opportunity to own something irreplaceable. For those who believe that history lives in objects, this is where to look.

This single poster is a 1st edition (Edition A) from August 1966, featuring two of the most celebrated bands in San Francisco's psychedelic rock history sharing the same bill at The Fillmore.

Measuring an unusually tall 11 7/8 x 24.25 inches, the format itself is a distinctive feature that sets this poster apart from standard Fillmore dimensions.The poster is graded Good and exhibits tack holes and corner creases that are entirely typical for pieces from this period.

This is a rare and exciting complete set comprising a poster, handbill, and ticket from the November 1967 Pink Floyd, Big Brother &amp; The Holding Company, and Richie Havens shows at The Fillmore and Winterland, one of the most historically significant bills ever to grace either venue.All three pieces were designed by Bonnie MacLean and together represent a matched set that is exceptionally difficult to assemble. The 2nd edition poster measures 14 1/16 x 21 1/8 inches and is graded Fair, showing tack holes, creases, and black marker in the top-right corner, with wear that is understandable given the poster's age and the cultural moment it captures.
