Description

BG-2 "Batman" Big Brother, Quicksilver Third-Printing Fillmore Auditorium Poster Graded 10 Gem Mint. A third-printing San Francisco concert poster for seven different bands playing only the second Bill Graham dance-concert weekend at his new shrine, the Fillmore Auditorium. The dates were Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings, March 18-20, 1966. This historic poster, obtainable at an affordable price as a third printing compared to the very expensive first printings, has been graded an essentially perfect 10 Gem Mint by CGC (the Certified Guaranty Company). Measures 14" x 20". COA from Heritage Auctions.

More Information: To promote the evening, Wilson created his first Bill Graham "psychedelic" poster (of sorts) centered around Batman & Robin. The Batman live-action TV show had just debuted on ABC on January 12, so was surely an influence on Wes as he thought up his first BG poster.

Appearing over the sprawling weekend were Big Brother & the Holding Company (no Janis Joplin yet), the Great Society (with Grace Slick), Quicksilver Messenger Service, the Mystery Trend, the Family Tree, the Gentleman's Band and the Skins.
