Fillmore Auditorium 11/11-13/66

Bill Graham invited Bola Sete to play at The Fillmore numerous times, and the Brazilian jazz guitarist proved to be very popular with the crowd. Country Joe & The Fish and Buffalo Springfield also played this three-day gig in November 1966. The popularity of this image led to three different printings.

The original poster was printed on .0080″ stock and measures approximately 13⅞″ x 24¾″. There is substantial variation in the coloration of both the green and lavender areas on this printing. The most reliable way to identify an original is the quantity of ink that was offset on the back of only the original printing.

The second print poster was also printed on .0080″ stock and measures approximately 14″ x 24⅝″. It is very similar to the original, with the exception that there will be no offset ink on the reverse of the second print.

The third print poster is on .0090″ index stock and measures approximately 13⅞″ x 24⅝″. The stock used for this printing is slightly reflective when viewed in certain lighting.

The fourth print poster was also printed on .0090″ stock and measures approximately 13⅞″ x 24⅝″. This printing is nearly identical to the third print, and virtually the only way to tell them apart is to have one of each to compare. The fourth print poster has a slightly darker, grayish-lavender color.
