Matching the previous lot (tickets), this is an original oversized postcard was issued for a series of concerts August 13 to 25, 1968, at the Fillmore West, in San Francisco, California and showcases the amazing artwork of rock art pioneers, Rick Griffin and Alton Kelley.

The lineup of acts is stellar. August 13-15 featured The Who, James Cotton, and Magic Sam. August 16-18 featured Creedence Clearwater Revival, It's a Beautiful Day, and Albert Collins. On August 20-22, the headliner was the Grateful Dead, with Kaleidoscope and Albert Collins supporting. Finally, the August 23-25 shows featured Quicksilver Messenger Service, Spooky Tooth, and Cold Blood. Pretty solid two weeks of music!

This card is in Near Mint Plus condition with bright colors and sharp corners. I would call it mint, but the black corners are difficult to find without some miniscule touch, and this one is really very good. The card measures 7" x 9". This is a first (and only) printing of the postcard, which is catalogued in the Bill Graham series as BG133. The back features a calendar of upcoming concerts, including Steppenwolf, Grateful Dead, and Santana, among others.
