Description

BG-91 Pink Floyd (Debut American Show), Janis Joplin 1967 S.F. Concert Poster Graded 9.8. First-and-only printing San Francisco concert poster for Pink Floyd making their first-ever American appearance, Big Brother & the Holding Company w/Janis Joplin and Richie Havens scheduled to play at both the Fillmore Auditorium and Winterland on Thursday thru Saturday nights, November 2-4, 1967. Designed by Bonnie MacLean and known as BG-91 in the Bill Graham numbered series, this poster was graded a premier 9.8 Near Mint/Mint by CGC (the Certified Guaranty Company). Measures 14 1/8" x 21 1/8". From the David Swartz Concert Poster Collection. COA from Heritage Auctions.

More Information: The stand's last date, Saturday Nov. 4, marked Pink Floyd's debut North American show. The Floyd appeared on three straight Bill Graham posters - 90, 91 and 92 - but due to Visa and other problems, many cancellations occurred. So they didn't play at all on BG-90, played only one night here on BG-91, and played all three scheduled nights on BG-92.

Another Floyd tidbit: the group's new single "Flaming," written and sung by Syd Barrett and taken from their debut album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, was released by Tower Records in America this very week, so you can be sure it was performed.
