This is a second printing concert poster from a 1966 performance by the Jefferson Airplane, James Cotton and his Chicago Blues Band, and Moby Grape, at the Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco, California.

This is one of artist Wes Wilson’s finest and most recognizable concert posters. Using a color wheel technique, the poster is one of the more colorful examples of rock art from a colorful era. This printing method produced a wide variety of color combinations in the first two printings.

Keep in mind many of the early reprints were done shortly after the concerts (in some cases a matter of days), so many of these subsequent early printings are almost as old as the originals themselves.

Condition is a nice VF to Near Mint. The corners are good with a slight softness on a couple of them, and there is a light surface crease in the lower left-hand side (see pics).
