<B>Big Brother and the Holding Company Fillmore West Concert Poster BG-136 (Bill Graham, 1968).</B></I> If there could have been a "perfect" time to witness Janis Joplin and Big Brother live in concert, it must have been at this San Francisco show. It was the band's home town, for one thing; for another, their classic second album, <I>Cheap Thrills,</B></I> had been released the month before, and was climbing up the charts, with record label Columbia about to release "Piece of My Heart" as a single (it would be the band's only hit single, reaching #12 on the charts). Joining Janis and the boys for their three-night stand were a couple of heavyweight acts on their own -- Santana and Chicago (still going by their original name Chicago Transit Authority). Even if you weren't at the shows, the poster is a must-have for the Rick Griffin artwork alone! The poster, which was only printed once, measures approximately 14" x 22" and is in gorgeous NM condition.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Large (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
