Description
The legendary Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco, under Concert Promoter Bill Graham, became the premier performance venue for many bands in the 1960s. To enhance concert visual effects, lighting engineers built a light system at the Fillmore that included stroboscopes, slides and film projections onstage.
Beginning in the mid-1960s to 1971, the Fillmore Auditorium became the focal point for psychedelic music, “the San Francisco Sound”, and the counterculture in general hosting such bands as The Grateful Dead, The Jefferson Airplane, The Steve Miller Band, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Moby Grape, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix Experience, The Byrds, Big Brother & the Holding Company, Santana, Frank Zappa & the Mothers of Invention and British acts including The Who, Cream and Pink Floyd. (The Grateful Dead played a total of 51 concerts at the Fillmore from 1965 through 1969.)
In this auction is a piece of GREAT ROCK & ROLL HISTORY!

· This is a PROMOTIONAL ISSUE of this 3-LP BOX SET.
· As you may know, PROMOTIONAL RECORDS were issued in very limited quantities and only made available to the DJs at the Radio Stations for on-air play. They were NOT made available to the general public. This makes them desirable to collectors because of their rarity.

4) SAMPLE FILLMORE TICKET that measures 2 ½ -inches X 4 ½ -inches.
5) FOLDED FILLMORE CONCERT POSTER that measures about 27 ½ -inches X 21 ½ -inches (There is very small ½ -inch split at the end of one of the folds.) This is a reproduction of the Final Concert Poster issued by The Fillmore in San Francisco for its final week of concerts June 30 to July 4, 1971.
6) 29-PAGE COLOR BOOKLET
· The VINYL (3 LP discs & 7-inch disc) is all NEAR MINT.
· The SAMPLE FILLMORE TICKET is NEAR MINT.
· The FILLMORE POSTER is NEAR MINT MINUS due to the very small ½ -inch split
· The 29-PAGE COLOR BOOKLET is NEAR MINT MINUS with light signs of handling. The booklet has sections entitled “About This Album”, “About The Fillmore”, “About The Posters”, a GREAT 2-page display of 16 colorful psychedelic posters issued by The Fillmore, “Fillmore-San Francisco November 6, 1965 – July 4, 1971” which is a chronology of dates and bands that played at the venue during that time period, and COLOR and B&W PHOTOS of many of the bands on stage at The Fillmore.
· The BOX is in VERY STRONG VG to WEAK VG+ CONDITION. There is light to moderate overall wear. The BOX LID is rather clean as you can see in the images. The BOX BOTTOM has a few light scuffs visible in the images. (It looks like someone used an eraser lightly in some places to clean up the box.) THERE ARE NO SPLIT CORNERS ON THE BOX LID AND BOTTOM.
For sure, a VERY NICE ADDITION TO ANYONE’S VINYL COLLECTION!
