Description

BG-79 Cream (Eric Clapton) 1967 Fillmore Auditorium Concert Poster Graded 9.0. First-printing San Francisco concert poster for England's Cream (w/Eric Clapton), the Paul Butterfield Blues Band and the South Side Sound System (the latter two from Chicago) playing at the Fillmore Auditorium for an unusual six-night stand running Tuesday thru Sunday, August 22-27, 1967. This engagement found the British power trio still touring off Fresh Cream, months away from the release of their second album Disraeli Gears.
