One of the classic early Fillmore images, featuring a timeless Herb Greene photo of a doe-eyed Grace Slick.  At the time, Grace was still the lead singer for the Great Society, but would join the Jefferson Airplane within six weeks of these shows.

The original/first print poster was printed prior to the shows and measures approx.  13 3/4" x 21".  It was printed on very thin/delicate stock, very similar to that used for the handbills/flyers.  When exposed to black light, the back of this poster flouresces noticeably, which does not occur on either of the reprint posters.  This poster is quite rare, and is next to impossible to find in top condition.

The second print poster, an authorized reprint, was printed on a somewhat thicker paper stock than the first print poster, and there are two variations as follows (it may eventually be discovered that there were three unique printings of this poster),

This poster, Type A, measures approx.  13 3/4" x 21".  There is a VERY thin red line that runs from the top of the "L" through the top portion of the "E" in "ELEVATORS".  This line does not appear on the original or the Type B second print.

This poster, Type B, measures approx.  13 7/8" x 21", slightly wider than the Type A poster.  The aforementioned red line does not appear, and the paper used to print this poster does not match either the original or Type A reprint.  It is very similar to the Type A, but not identical.  This poster has an identical appearance to the original (no red line), but was printed on a different paper stock (black light test/thickness).

The original handbill was printed prior to the shows, and measures approx.  4 7/8" x 8 5/8".  The paper used to print this handbill matches the paper used to print the original poster.

The post card measures approx.  4 7/8" x 8 1/2" and was printed in early 1967.  Bill Graham authorized the printing of all of the Fillmore post cards.
