AUCTION - John Cipollina Tribute - Alton Kelley Signed - 1989 Poster - The Fillmore - Excellent

Here we have a beautiful untrimmed poster for the tribute concert for John Cipollina. The beloved Quicksilver Messenger Service guitarist had a hell of a going-away party at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco, CA. The place was packed to the gills that night with friends and well-wishers and the talent roster was practically everybody. More than two dozen names are listed and that's just the folks on the poster. Members of Quiksilver, the Dinosaurs, the Dead, and on and on. The show date was June 26, 1989. Artwork is a husband and wife collaboration between Alton and Marguerite Kelley. She provided a beautiful photo of a beaming John Cipollina, while Alton did the drawing. This tremendous untrimmed poster measures 23 1/8" x 31", approximately. The condition of this rather large piece is Excellent, with some spotting on the front and back, which has been present in all of the few posters we have seen that come from Alton Kelley's personal collection, along with handling, mainly due to the size. Alton Kelley signed the piece in silver pen on the front and to his wife Marguerite in pencil on the reverse. I worked that show and it was as heartfelt a tribute gig as I have ever witnessed. A truly beloved giant of the music world, John Cipollina
