Fillmore West 11/14-17/68

In our opinion, no other poster designed by Lee Conklin portrays the psychedelic experience better than this. The lettering of the bands names—Ten Years After, Country Weather, and Sun Ra—is a series of tangled branches flowing from a nude female figure that forms the trunk of a tree. The Fillmore West name is hanging from threads that dangle from the branches like spider webs.

The original poster was printed on uncoated index stock and measures approximately 14″ x 21¼″.

The postcard comes in two varieties, both of which measure approximately 4⅝″ x 7″:

The Type A card has a “place stamp here” reverse.

The Type B card has a calendar of Bill Graham events on the back.

A double postcard was also printed that bears the images of both BG-144 and 145 and measures approximately 7″ x 9¼″. This card has a bulk rate permit on the back. In addition, some copies were addressed and mailed to people on the mailing list.
