This is one of the classic Fillmore images, featuring a photograph of the late Otis Redding.  Fillmore "old timers" will tell you that this is one of the premier shows to be held at the historic venue.

This poster was printed just once, prior to the shows.  The inking characteristics of the posters varies throughout the run, but paper stock and size are very consistent.  This poster measures approx.  14" X 22 1/2". On the majority of the BG 43 posters, the ticket outlet strip on the bottom of the poster is white.  There are a rare few where the ticket strip is the same pink as the image lettering.  This is a variation within the print run, not a separate printing.

The original blank backed handbill was printed prior to the shows, and measures approx.  4 1/2" X 7 1/4".  Some of these were folded and mailed, and variants exist that match the colors (ticket info) of both of the aforementioned posters.

Another handbill was printed prior to the shows (most likely before the aforementioned handbills) that does not match the image of the posters.  It was designed by Bonnie MacLean, and measures approx.  5" X 8 1/2".  We call it BG 43 Alternate Handbill, and it is quite rare.

The original postcard was printed prior to the shows and measures approx. 4 1/2" X 7 1/4".  It has a place stamp here reverse, and is also quite rare.
