Jefferson Airplane "A Benefit For The Grateful Dead" Concert Poster BG-222 (Bill Graham Presents, 1970). This is a poster that we are proud to be able to offer, the rare BG - 222. Throughout their career, the Grateful Dead frequently performed at benefits for a wide variety of causes. When the Dead got busted in New Orleans on drug possession charges, many San Francisco acts felt compelled to play a benefit for them. This is the poster from that special event. Also of note for collectors is the fact that this is the only poster in his series that does not read "Bill Graham Presents" at the top; instead, it reads "A Benefit For The Grateful Dead." Also performing at the benefit were Quicksilver Messenger Service, Santana, It's A Beautiful Day, and Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks. This poster grades Near Mint due to just a couple of small creases in the lower right. Due to the rarity of the item, this would still be a centerpiece in any rock poster collection! Overall size of this poster is 13.75" x 20.75".

Grace Slick "White Rabbit in Wonderland" Signed and Remarqued Print on Canvas, 249/300 (undated). This beautiful, printed painting on canvas is truly a one of a kind piece. When Grace came to Dallas, Texas to premiere her artwork, she added a special touch to this piece. She was asked to create more art on the spot or to remarque the painting and she labeled the "Tweedle-Dee" and "Tweedle Dum" characters saying, "These are John Lennon and Paul McCartney," adding their names in gold ink. She also drew on the spot a very cool Yin-Yang symbol. The consignor of this piece asked Ms. Slick about Timothy Leary, who is featured in the painting, "What did he represent?" and she said, "He was a wellspring of intuitive thoughts and ideas." When asked to draw what that meant to her, she smiled and added the very cool fountain like color all around his head. By adding the additional remarques to this, she indeed made it a one of a kind work of art from one of the main voices in the '60s San Francisco sound. It measures approximately 19.5" x 32.5", and is in Excellent condition. This will look incredible on any wall, and give you a cool story to tell those who see it! Accompanied by LOA for PSA/DNA.

The Doors "Pay Attention" Denver Concert Poster FDDO-18, Signed by Rick Griffin (Family Dog, 1967).

Buddy Holly and the Everly Brothers Signed Receipt. A high school class ring receipt, dated October 13, 1957, bearing the signatures of Buddy Holly and Phil and Don Everly in blue ink, obtained by a young high school student named Marie Steinaker (nee Perez). Describing how she obtained the signatures, Perez says: "My friend and I were going to the second performance of a rock and roll show. We were having a sandwich in a small cafe...with a layout that was a U-shaped bar with stools on the other side. We looked over at the stools and there sat the Everly Brothers and another fellow. We got up the courage to ask for the Everly Brothers' autographs, and decided to include the third guy because we didn't want him to feel left out. We got all three signatures and sat back down in out booth and looked and...the third guy was Buddy Holly, who was by far our very favorite. He just looked so ordinary and wasn't all that recognizable yet." At the time, Autumn of 1957, Holly and the Crickets were part of an 80-day tour that included the Everly Brothers and Fats Domino; a few months later Holly and his band would embark on their historic 25-day tour of Britain. The receipt is in Very Fine condition with light wear, mild tanning, and a fold crease -- none of which affects the gorgeous, clear signatures. Accompanied by LOA from PSA/DNA.
