Description

 Original 1st printing 13&3/4 x 22" (bottom margin trimmed by 3/8") concert poster for the Grateful Dead appearing with Lightnin' Hopkins and the Loading Zone at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco, CA from 10/21-22/1966 (poster also advertises the 10/23 Yardbirds/Country Joe & the Fish show).
 
 Art by Wes Wilson (with a photo by Herb Greene), image is # 32 in the Bill Graham/Fillmore series. (BG-32-OP-2 in the Eric King Guide)
 
 Medium flat vellum stock poster is in used (B-/C+) condition; in addition to the edge trimming, there is a 2" x 1" diagonal wedge of paper missing from the upper right margin, along with a large "bullet hole" obliterating the "r" of "Auditorium" in the bottom center margin, plus an extensive amount of edge wear, toning, surface wear, several decent-sized bends, stains on the reverse, etc.... as the photo shows, it's definitely a well-worn example.

 While this one falls more into the artifact category, it IS still an original 1966 1st printing and a cheap alternative to a less conditionally-compromised copy.
