Summary

The legendary rock promoter Bill Graham worked with musicians such as the Rolling Stones, the Grateful Dead, Eric Clapton, and Pete Townshend. Next to listening to these greats, this book is the best way to recreate the atmosphere of those heady times. Collected here are the original Bill Graham numbered and unnumbered series created exclusively for the San Francisco and New York concerts. This unique book richly illustrates over 400 hand-drawn posters, handbills, and tickets, bringing them to life both through the voices of the talented artists who rendered them and the performers, who recall early impressions of Fillmore gigs. Collectors will find included artist and band indexes that cross-reference the posters with the bands and the poster artists. Book jacket.
