Fillmore West 2/27-3/2/69

This Lee Conklin-designed Grateful Dead poster features an eerie-looking collage of skulls, faces, and flames that surrounds a photograph of the band. This poster was printed twice, and for reasons unknown, first prints are very scarce.

The original poster was printed on slick, glossy-coated index stock and measures approximately 14″ x 21″.

The second print poster was printed on slick, glossy-coated index stock and measures approximately 14″ x 21″. There is a small script “w” in the lower right corner next to the ticket outlet strip.

The postcard comes in three varieties, all 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.

The Type C card has a bulk rate permit on the back and was cut from a double card by the printer.

A double postcard was also printed. This card bears the images of both BG-162 and 163 and measures approximately 7″ x 9¼″. It has a bulk rate permit on the back. In addition, some copies were addressed and mailed to people on the mailing list.
