FD-2 - "King Kong" - Wes Wilson Signed - 1966 Poster - Fillmore Auditorium - CGC Graded 6.5
An original first-printing San Francisco concert poster for The Great Society featuring Grace Slick, the Grass Roots, Big Brother and the Holding Company, and Quicksilver Messenger Service. This concert took place at the Fillmore Auditorium on Saturday night, February 26, 1966.
Known as FD-2 in the Family Dog numbered series, this poster was co-designed by Wes Wilson and Family Dog chief Chet Helms, who provided the animal image and overall theme. This exceptionally rare piece was signed by Wes Wilson at the bottom and has been CGC GRADED 6.5.
This is truly a significant collector's item for several reasons: it is only the second Family Dog concert poster, created during the early days of February 1966, and it is nearly impossible to find in its pre-concert first printing condition like this one. The "King Kong Memorial Dance" poster was produced by graphic artist Wilson. Less than 500 copies were printed, similar to FD-1, and very few of these posters have survived to this day. This poster measures slightly under 14" x 20"
