Here is a batch of the new Bill Graham/Fillmore posters for more recent events. Most of them were actually posted for the shows and therefore have staple damage in the corners; they are offered here at a fraction of the typical mint copy prices. The Fillmore and New Bill Graham series are becoming increasingly popular and are still being produced.

This venue started out as the new Family Dog but is no longer associated with Chet Helms; they have issued numbered posters for several in what began as the New Family Dog series but now has changed into something else entirely. Some interesting band lineups on some of these posters; check them out..
MHP #27, Unbroken Chain, Third World, Merle Haggard, Michael Rose, Wendy Shaw, Mermen (my favorite current band!); 2/97 (various dates), Maritime Hall, San Francisco, red border with cool watercolor image by Lee Conklin, nice to see him still doing art these days; outer border and lettering appear to be computer generated. Nice NM- $17.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, The Rolling Stones", circa 1975, promotional poster for this Stones movie; nice B & W photo of early '70's vintage Jagger with caption "$50,000 worth of sound equipment installed especially for this engagement." Bottom of poster is blank for gig to be filled in and this one has "Nov. 11-13 Tamalpais Theatre" (Mill Valley, CA) filled in in red magic marker. All in all a pretty cool looking item, VG+ $40.
Rolling Stones, 1982, Italy; Italian poster stating "ciao 2001, Rolling Stones, Inserto Speciale A Colori"; apparently advertising a color insert to some newspaper or magazine; red-pink dot matrix background, lettering in white, yellow, and blue. An interesting item for some Stones completist, probably hard to find, but unfortunately badly wrinkles with staple pulls in corners; a couple of edge tears. Hard to price something like this, does $8.50 sound right to you?
Sons of Champlin, Pablo Cruise, 11/28/75, Marin Veterans Aud., San Rafael, CA; 11" x 17" (Thanksgiving show), blue on white paper with rendering of the "Sons of Champlin" album cover and lettering that appears to be by Randy Tuten, although not signed.

"What Was That or Suddenly Lost Summer," 1976; poster for hippie retrospective presented by pioneer station KSAN, 10 years later. Color poster by Kelley/Mouse with classic image of scarab; elaborate swirls and stripes; full color with lotsa yellows & blues, very striking. Would be more popular if better known; not illustrated in any of the usual places. I have 1 uncut proof sheet of 2 posters; rare and hard to find like this. NM $125. Also a NM single poster, $40.
Dave Mason, Kenny Loggins, Charlie, 7/30/77, Greek Theatre, U.C. Berkeley; co-produced by Bill Graham; nice 10 x 12 brown on thin glossy paper with drawings of Mason and Loggins and nice shaded lettering; commercial but nice NM $15.
The Ramones, The Dictators, The Nuns, Widowmaker, 6/30/77, Winterland, SF; great early punk poster for this Bill Graham show; 14" x 17.5"; black punk-style lettering and photos; intentionally stark. Great early punk poster featuring some now-legendary bands. Nice NM/NM- copy, $175.

VG+; small pinholes in corner, otherwise clean, $15.
Grateful Dead, 10/22-31/80, Radio City Music Hall, NY; this is the one with the two skeletons leaning up against the hall; supposedly banned by the promoter and most copies destroyed, but durned if they just don't keep turnin' up, folks....this is my personal nomination for most over-rated poster of the last millennium ("Trip or Freak" used to be the frontrunner but with the passage of time, that one really is starting to get hard to find). You'll see the Radio City poster on just about every collector or dealer's list if you look around, and there have been some hefty prices bandied about for this one, but hey, if you still want one, here it is. Nice NM/NM- copy, nice deep colors; are there really two printings of this or not? I don't know and have heard conflicting opinions. In any case this has the deep rich colors that, if you subscribe to the two-printing theory, are supposed to distinguish the original. I supposed I'd better ask $450 for this one, a bargain by comparison to some of the other copies I've seen around. (*)
Journey, Santana, Toto, 6/26/82 [Note: slight possibility this is 1976 but I don't think so], Oakland Stadium, Oakland, CA, Bill Graham presents Day on the Green #1; 15 x 22 red background with white block letters; nondescript art but fairly hard poster to find as these were printed in limited quantities by BGP for posting at ticket outlets and on telephone poles in the East Bay and weren't sold commercially. Nice NM- poster; good item for Santana Collectors, $45.
The Tubes, 6/12/83, Santa Cruz Civic Aud., Jim Phillips poster wherein a crowd of people runs screaming in terror as disgusting, oozing cloud spelling the band's name issues from the doors...for illustration, see The Art of Rock, pl. 4.105. This poster is the black and white version; identical in image but B & W only, no red. NM $75.
Huey Lewis & the News, The Romantics, Citadel, 2/19/84, Feaster Center, Fairmont State College (region unknown), black/blue background with technical-schematic type drawing of electric guitar; high quality printing on glossy stock. NM $25.
Diana Ross, 4/27/79, Market Square Arena (Ohio-Indiana area?), dark, dark blue background on very high quality glossy stock with large white typeset letters for Diana Ross 1979 Tour; inset of 3 small photos of Diana emphasizing eyes. Nice poster, NM $60.

The Band, Jerry Garcia Band, Etta James, Kate Wolf, Norton Buffalo, 7/24/83, Grass Valley, CA; "Sierra Sun" music festival; this is another one of those that I keep thinking is in The Art of Rock, but I guess it isn't 'cause I can't find it now; anyway, I used to have some of these a few years back sold out; now I have a few more copies; features an attractive color central drawing of a Sierra Nevada meadow; lettering below; a bit commercial but has a nice overall look and feel to it. NM $75. (*)

VG+; near mint except for some minor corner wrinkles outside of image, due to improper storage. Nice blues festival poster, first one I've seen, $35.00
12th Annual Fairfax Festival, 6/10-11/89, Fairfax, CA; popular annual local event that always features local Marin County musicians; this one lists Zero, Swing Fever, the Crocodiles, Chuck Day and Friends, and others.

Crumb; large double-size poster featuring orange caricature of old bluesman sitting in a chair playing acoustic guitar, clearly done by R. Crumb; with orange lettering, against a dark blue background with miniature versions of the Crumb design in pale blue repeated over and over as a background. These posters are very special; they were silkscreened in an edition of only 200 and sold at the show, where they quickly sold out. Very high quality printing and paper. I attended this show and bought several copies of this poster there before they sold out. I have hoarded these two since then; first time I've offered them for sale. They are numbered ##195/200 and 196/200 and are in beautiful NM condition; stored here for the last 7 years. Because so few of these were made, they command a high price and I am asking $550 each for these two, which includes an extra shipping charge as they will have to be shipped flat. They are wonderful, you will like them! (*)
Surgery, Stool Sample, 5/18/93, Emo's, Houston, 5/20/93, Austin; great early 90's Kozik silkscreen poster with large photo of Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, and Jack Nicholson on their bikes from the movie Easy Rider; all done in the usual outrageous Kozik dayglo; signed by Kozik in pencil and numbered 29/550; a classic for fans of Kozik's art.

Many of you who know me personally are aware that I am a big fan of instrumental surf-type music, especially the Mermen, so how could I resist picking up a small stash of these when they turned up at a local flea market? I have 3 for sale, including 2 that are basically NM/NM-, asking $15 each, and one that is similar but for a small unobtrusive 1/8" poke hole in the lower portion of the image, asking $10 for that one. (*).
Primus, Victims Family, Mr. T. Experience, Greenday, 3/3/90, Phoenix Theatre, Petaluma; interesting poster with semi-crude Egyptian-type motif; dark grey with yellow lettering; as noted, a bit crude, but a cool poster that shows vague influences of Rick Griffin.

I went to one of these events early on and they were big fun; outdoors in the woods listening to some fine music and swimming in the river when things got too hot...this poster was co-produced by Bill Graham and the Hog Farm, features a design of a hog standing atop a stage that looks a little like Rick Griffin's early Hog Farm design based on the Royal Baking Powder can, only this one is set in the middle of the woods, and a bit crudely done, but still nice red/orange/yellow split fountain border with blue and green accents and typeset lettering.
