JIMI HENDRIX: Jimi Hendrix Experience, Fillmore East, New York. Special limited Artist's Edition (2021) of the iconic poster dated Friday, May 10, 1968. This is a artist proof of just 100 hand signed and numbered by the original artist and publisher David Edward Byrd. 22 x 14 in. In 1968, a number of college classmates (including Joshua White of Joshua Light Show) encouraged rock promoter Bill Graham to hire Byrd to create posters for the newly opened Fillmore East Ballroom in Manhattan's East Village. Byrd was reportedly hired on the spot after showing his portfolio to Bill Graham and signed on as the exclusive poster and program designer, beginning with a poster for the upcoming Traffic event. In the period 1968 to 1973, he and Fantasy Unlimited created posters for Jimi Hendrix, Iron Butterfly, Jefferson Airplane, Ravi Shankar, Traffic, and Bill Graham favorite the Grateful Dead. This poster that Byrd created for Bill Graham's Fillmore East, for the Jimi Hendrix Experience, was voted #8 in the Top 25 Rock Posters by Billboard Magazine. Byrd also created the poster for the The Rolling Stones American Tour 1969. When the four members of the rock band KISS released individual solo albums in 1978, Byrd was hired to create an individual poster for each album, designed in such a way so they all could be hung together as a mural. Byrd worked with The Who for their rock opera Tommy, designing the poster for the band's 1971 performance at the Metropolitan Opera House. This is an impeccably rendered giclee printed on ultra premium archival matte paper. Includes signed COA and Lifetime Guarantee. Mint condition. A music lover's must have! Congratulations to the winning bidder!
