Some late 60's psychedelia
« on: October 20, 2011, 10:56:25 PM »
I have a soft spot for the late 60's ... great music, free love, and the kool-aid ran freely. Or so I've heard - was a bit before my time.

Still, the poster art was fantastic ... here's a few I've collected over the years.


Fillmore BG99 - The Doors (1967)


Fillmore BG92 - Pink Floyd (1967)


Fillmore BG121 - The Yardbirds (1968)


Neon Rose NR12 - Moscoso


Fillmore BG79 - Cream (1967)


Fillmore BG84 - Blue Cheer (1967)


Fillmore BG113 - Country Joe & The Fish (1968)


Fillmore BG114 - The Animals (1968)


Fillmore BG105 - Jimi Hendrix (1968)

Fillmore BG105 - Jimi Hendrix (1968)

Wow... is that Hendrix and original?  If so it's probably worth more than 90% of the film posters displayed here!  That is gorgeous.

Thanks, yeah its Hendrix and original from 1968 - Rick Griffin art. But its the 2nd printing - practically identical to the first, but printed a few weeks after.

As you say, if this was the 1st printing it adds a few more thousand dollars to the price!

at one point 35 years ago I had over 3000 Fillmore and Family Dog posters.
I used to deal direct with Bill Graham Enterprises until that asshole Ben Friedman ruined it for me.

the Hendrix poster I had dozens of.. I used to make a display with curtain rods at conventions and the best was when there was a show at the Sheraton on 7th ave & 53rd street. the ballroom had 40ft ceilings so with my wall tables I was able to create a display that was 30 feet high of Fillmore posters.

Comic dealers & collectors loved to buy & trade for them.. I made beau coup cash.... until Ben Friedman stepped in... that asshole

simple story.. I was undercutting his price
he was good friends with Graham & co
he called me up and said we needed to work together.
hey.. I was in my early 20s.. I needed to run my business for my benefit
that ^&%#%$@# somehow got Graham & co to stop selling me posters
Ben Friedman can suck my....... even though the ^&%#%$@# is dead, he can still suck my...........
