This poster is a 4th edition from May 1966, documenting one of the most culturally charged evenings in Fillmore history, a performance by The Velvet Underground under the auspices of Andy Warhol's Exploding Plastic Inevitable multimedia event, sharing the bill with Frank Zappa's The Mothers of Invention.Designed by Wes Wilson and measuring 13 x 19 inches, this poster sits at the intersection of two of the most influential artistic movements of the 1960s: the San Francisco psychedelic scene and the New York avant-garde pop world centered around Warhol's Factory. The poster is graded Excellent, making it one of the finest presentable examples of this historically loaded piece that a collector is likely to encounter.The convergence of Warhol, The Velvet Underground, and The Mothers of Invention on a single Fillmore bill was a genuinely extraordinary moment, and Wilson's design captures the energy of that collision beautifully. Pieces that connect the two coasts' artistic revolutions of the 1960s are perennially in demand among collectors of both rock memorabilia and pop art history. The Excellent condition means this poster would display magnificently and needs no apologies.One of the most intellectually and historically compelling lots in the auction.Domestic (United States) shipping is included in the purchase price.

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 is a complete set comprising a poster, handbill, and four individual night tickets from a Grateful Dead and Quicksilver Messenger Service run at The Fillmore West in November 1968, a multi-night engagement that captures both bands at a creatively fertile moment. All pieces were designed by Lee Conklin, whose intricate, densely detailed style made him one of the most distinctive voices among the Fillmore's roster of poster artists.The 1st edition poster measures 14 1/16 x 20 3/8 inches, is graded Good with corner dings, and retains a strong visual presence despite its wear. The handbill is graded Good, and the four individual night tickets, covering November 7, 8, 9, and 10, range in condition from Good to Excellent, with the November 10 ticket in particularly fine shape.The inclusion of all four night tickets is a remarkable feature of this lot, as individual tickets from specific show dates are notoriously difficult to locate decades after the fact. Complete sets of this scope, poster, handbill, and a full run of dated tickets, are exceptionally rare and represent the holy grail for many Grateful Dead collectors.This lot is a standout offering and a once-in-a-while opportunity for serious collectors of Dead or Fillmore material.Domestic (United States) shipping is included in the purchase price. International shipments will be subject to additional shipping costs, to be invoiced after the auction is completed.

This is a complete set comprising a signed poster, handbill, and three individual night tickets from Led Zeppelin's legendary April 1969 run at The Fillmore West and Winterland, one of the most celebrated engagements in the band's early American touring history.The 2nd edition poster was designed by Randy Tuten and Peter Pynchon, measures 13 15/16 x 21 inches, and bears a hand signature by Randy Tuten himself, adding a personal and provenance-rich dimension to an already significant piece. The poster is graded Fair with handling marks and creases, described as a "lot copy," but the handbill is in Very Good condition, and the three individual night tickets for April 24, 25, and 26 are graded Very Good, Excellent, and Excellent, respectively.Led Zeppelin's early Fillmore appearances are among the most mythologized in rock history, predating their rise to the stadium-level fame that would define the 1970s, and original material from this period is extraordinarily scarce. The combination of a Tuten-signed poster, a near-complete run of dated tickets, and a handbill in a single lot is a remarkable assemblage that would be nearly impossible to replicate on the open market.This is, without question, one of the marquee lots of the auction and a genuine trophy piece for any serious collector of classic rock memorabilia.Domestic (United States) shipping is included in the purchase price. International shipments will be subject to additional shipping costs, to be invoiced after the auction is completed.

This partial set comprises a poster and three individual night tickets from a Grateful Dead and New Riders of the Purple Sage run at The Fillmore West in June 1970, designed by David Singer. Singer's work for the Fillmore is characterized by a more refined, painterly approach that distinguished him from the rawer psychedelic energy of his predecessors, and this piece is a fine example of his mature style.The 2nd edition poster measures 14 x 21 inches and is graded an impressive Excellent, making it one of the finest condition examples in the auction. The three individual night tickets, for June 4, 5, and 6, are graded Good, Excellent, and Excellent respectively, rounding out a strong set across all formats represented. This run took place during the final chapter of the original Fillmore West, which closed its doors in 1971, lending these pieces additional historical significance as documents of the venue's final creative years.The New Riders of the Purple Sage were closely associated with the Grateful Dead during this period, with Dead members frequently sitting in, making this a particularly resonant piece for fans of both acts. A beautifully preserved lot that combines an Excellent condition poster with a strong run of matching tickets.Domestic (United States) shipping is included in the purchase price. International shipments will be subject to additional shipping costs, to be invoiced after the auction is completed.

This single poster is a 3rd edition from February 1966, making it one of the oldest pieces in the entire auction and a document of the very earliest days of the Fillmore's history as a rock venue.Designed by Peter Bailey and measuring 14 5/16 x 19 15/16 inches, this poster predates the emergence of the now-iconic Fillmore visual style that would later that same year be defined by Wes Wilson. The piece is graded Very Good and shows edge imperfections, trimmed edges, and minor rips and creases, entirely understandable for a piece approaching 60 years of age.Jefferson Airplane was one of the pioneering acts of the San Francisco psychedelic scene, and their early Fillmore appearances, documented here, represent the ground floor of what would become a cultural phenomenon.BG 1 is one of the most symbolically significant catalog numbers in the entire Fillmore series, and examples in any condition are keenly sought by serious collectors. The Very Good grade makes this a presentable and displayable example of one of the rarest and most historically important Fillmore posters.An exceptional opportunity to acquire a piece of genuine rock history from the very beginning.Domestic (United States) shipping is included in the purchase price. International shipments will be subject to additional shipping costs, to be invoiced after the auction is completed.

BG-1 Jefferson Airplane | Peter Bailey | February 4-6, 1966 | Very Good

This poster is a 2nd edition from June 1966, featuring Jefferson Airplane at The Fillmore in another early appearance by the band that would soon become one of the defining acts of the psychedelic era.Designed by Wes Wilson and measuring 14 1/16 x 20 inches, this is a clean, beautiful example from Wilson's prolific early run of Fillmore commissions. The poster is graded Excellent, with no significant condition concerns to report, making it a highly displayable and investment-worthy example.By mid-1966, Wilson's distinctive design language was fully established, and this poster exemplifies the flowing forms and vibrant energy that made his work so immediately recognizable and enduringly influential. Jefferson Airplane posters from this early period are consistently strong performers in the collector market, driven by deep and sustained demand from fans of the band and the broader San Francisco scene.The combination of an Excellent condition grade and a desirable early BG catalog number makes this a particularly attractive lot for collectors at any level.A wonderful piece that would anchor any collection of Fillmore or Jefferson Airplane memorabilia.Domestic (United States) shipping is included in the purchase price.

BG-10 Jefferson Airplane | Wes Wilson | June 10-11, 1966 | Excellent

This poster is a 1st edition from March 1967, capturing Jefferson Airplane at The Fillmore during the period immediately surrounding the release of their landmark album Surrealistic Pillow, one of the defining records of the psychedelic era.Designed by Wes Wilson and measuring 13 11/16 x 20 1/16 inches, this is a pristine example from what many consider the peak of Wilson's creative output for the Fillmore. Graded Excellent, the poster presents beautifully with no significant condition issues, and its 1st edition status adds further desirability for serious collectors.By early 1967, Jefferson Airplane had achieved national recognition and were at the forefront of the cultural explosion centered in San Francisco, making this a particularly resonant historical document. Wilson's designs from this period are among the most reproduced and referenced in the history of graphic art, and original 1st edition examples in Excellent condition are genuinely scarce on the open market.This poster would display magnificently and represents a strong investment for collectors focused on the intersection of music history and graphic design history. A highlight lot for anyone with a passion for the Summer of Love era.Domestic (United States) shipping is included in the purchase price. International shipments will be subject to additional shipping costs, to be invoiced after the auction is completed.

BG-54 Jefferson Airplane | Wes Wilson | March 10-12, 1967 | First Edition

This poster is a 1st edition from September 1967, another Jefferson Airplane appearance at The Fillmore, but this time rendered by Greg Irons rather than the more widely celebrated Wes Wilson, making it an interesting point of comparison within a Jefferson Airplane collection. Greg Irons brought a rawer, more underground comics-influenced sensibility to his Fillmore work, and his designs occupy a distinctive niche within the broader poster art tradition of the era.Measuring 13 7/8 x 21.25 inches and graded Very Good with some creasing, this poster retains strong visual clarity and would present well in a frame.By September 1967, Jefferson Airplane were one of the biggest bands in America, fresh off a summer that included landmark festival appearances and heavy radio play, lending this piece significant cultural weight. Irons-designed Fillmore posters are somewhat less common in the collector market than Wilson or MacLean pieces, making this a potentially interesting undervalued acquisition for discerning collectors.The 1st-edition status and Very Good condition combine to make this a solid, presentable lot. A fine piece from the height of the psychedelic era.Domestic (United States) shipping is included in the purchase price. International shipments will be subject to additional shipping costs, to be invoiced after the auction is completed.

BG-85 Jefferson Airplane | Greg Irons | September 28-30, 1967 | First Edition

This poster is a 1st edition from October 1972, documenting a David Bowie performance at Winterland during what is widely regarded as one of the most transformative moments in his career, the Ziggy Stardust era, when Bowie was reinventing rock performance and pushing the boundaries of identity, costume, and spectacle.Designed by Randy Tuten and measuring 13 5/8 x 22 inches, this poster represents a slight shift in the auction's timeline, bridging the classic Fillmore era of the late 1960s with the early 1970s rock scene that grew directly from it. The poster is graded Very Good with only minor handling marks, making it a clean and highly displayable example.Randy Tuten's design work for Winterland in the early 1970s is highly regarded and increasingly collected as the legacy of the San Francisco venue scene continues to grow in cultural appreciation. David Bowie posters from this era are perennially in demand among collectors of glam rock and classic rock memorabilia, and Winterland examples are particularly scarce compared to arena-era Bowie material.This is a visually striking and historically significant piece that would stand out in any collection spanning the full arc of 1960s and 1970s rock history.Domestic (United States) shipping is included in the purchase price. International shipments will be subject to additional shipping costs, to be invoiced after the auction is completed.
