BG133 Grateful Dead The Who 1968 Fillmore Rick Griffin Concert Poster

BG133 advertised four consecutive Fillmore West mid-week and weekend concerts. A triptych in design, Griffin used hand-drawn color plates to make 3-D images project from the background, and the frames of the panel appear to be insect legs. A collaboration between Griffin and Alton Kelley, the image's central figure may be the herald from Hell, a menacing image which contrasts with the bubble-infused, cartoon-style lettering of the side panels.

This 1st printing poster, measuring 21 15/16 x 28 5/16, is on smooth uncoated paper stock similar to other Fillmore posters. The uncoated paper lends itself to fingerprints in the black background of the poster. This copy has 2-3 fingerprints in some of the black border. Overall the main image of this poster is untouched and would display very well.
