FD-3 Paul Butterfield, Quicksilver 1966 Early Fillmore Auditorium Concert Poster Graded 7.0. An original first-printing San Francisco concert poster for the Paul Butterfield Blues Band and Quicksilver Messenger Service playing at the Fillmore Auditorium on Friday thru Sunday nights, March 25-27, 1966. One of the toughest first printings to find in all of San Francisco poster collecting, this FD-3 was designed by Wes Wilson and has been graded to 7.0 Fine/Very Fine by CGC (the Certified Guaranty Company). But the grade is almost secondary, because this piece is so tough to find in any shape.
If you like electric Chicago blues, it didn't get any better than the Butterfield Blues Band at their peak. With the dynamic Michael Bloomfield on guitar, the band surely tore through many tracks from their self-titled debut album, released the previous fall. That LP featured "Born in Chicago," "I Got My Mojo Working," "Blues with a Feeling" and "Mystery Train." A few years ago, Rolling Stone magazine included it on their list of "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time."
A key set-breaker in early BG/FD collecting, and an opportunity that just rarely comes up. This is only the second first-printing that Heritage has ever offered. Measures 14" x 20". COA from Heritage Auctions.
