BG-162 Grateful Dead 1969 Fillmore West Poster Signed by Lee Conklin, Graded 9.8. First-printing San Francisco concert poster for the Grateful Dead, Pentangle and the Sir Douglas Quintet playing at the Fillmore West on Thursday thru Sunday nights, February 27-March 2, 1969. Known as BG-162 in the Bill Graham numbered series, this poster was designed by Lee Conklin and was signed by him in the lower right. It was subsequently graded a glowing-embers 9.8 Near Mint/Mint by CGC (the Certified Guaranty Company).

Dead fans can rejoice that several recordings from this weekend were used for Live/Dead, the band's first-of-many live albums, released by Warner Bros. in November. Those would include an epic 23-minute "Dark Star" from the opening night. Measures 14" x 21". From the David Swartz Concert Poster Collection. COA from Heritage Auctions.
