Description
BG-105 Jimi Hendrix Experience Second Printing 1968 "Flying Eyeball" Poster Graded 8.5. An original Bill Graham second-printing poster of the Jimi Hendrix Experience, John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers and Albert King performing at San Francisco's famed Fillmore and Winterland ballrooms on the first four days of February 1968, known in the hobby as BG-105. Most art-rock fans and collectors consider this to be designer Rick Griffin's masterpiece. This specimen has been graded to 8.5 Very Fine Plus by CGC (the Certified Guaranty Company).When one talks about the very best psychedelic San Francisco concert posters, the conversation invariably turns toward Bill Graham Presents and the Family Dog, and ultimately lands on this flying eyeball and the Dog's Grateful Dead "Skeleton & Roses" posters.
Did you know this also doubles as a Janis Joplin concert poster? That's right, on the final night, Sunday February 4 at the Fillmore, Big Brother & the Holding Company stepped into one of the opening slots when another of the acts canceled. Quite a nice, hidden 'value-added' feature of this poster, as if it needed anything else.
Poster measures 14 x 21 ½". COA from Heritage Auctions.
Special note: We feel this poster could have easily been a Signature-auction item (live auctioneer, catalog placement), as evidenced by results in the last couple of years here at Heritage. However, we're including this poster now in our Showcase auctions sometimes because we wanted to satisfy our consignors and offer our customers more than just three chances a year to win one. At any rate, good luck!
