Description

Jimi Hendrix Fillmore East Concert Poster, Signed by the Artist (Bill Graham/Fantasy Unlimited, 1968) David Byrd's design for this classic poster was so admired by Jimi Hendrix, that the guitarist asked for a special press kit cover utilizing the circle-heavy art. Hendrix was at the top of his game for this May 10, 1968 show, which also featured a new, up-and-coming band to open for the Experience -- Sly and the Family Stone. This unbilled, and largely unknown, band was actually booed off the stage by Jimi's impatient fans! This first printing poster has been signed by David Byrd, and measures approximately 14 1/8" x 22". It's in NM condition.
