Winterland 10/10-12/68

With the rise in popularity of Jimi Hendrix, Bill Graham used the more spacious Winterland instead of The Fillmore to hold this concert. Rick Griffin and Victor Moscoso designed the poster and it is one of two designed in this style (the other is the BG-141/Iron Butterfly poster). This poster features the trademark scarab that Griffin included in many works.

The original poster was printed on uncoated index stock and measures approximately 14⅛″ x 21½″.

The second print poster was printed on slick, glossy-coated stock and measures approximately 14⅛″ x 21½″. There is a small script “w” in the lower right hand corner next to the ticket outlet strip.

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-140 and 141 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.
