This is the 2006 Wolfgang's Vault Printing of this poster (RP-6). An Original First Printing of this poster graded a perfect 10 by CGC would easily be $30,000+. Here you can get the same iconic artwork for a very reasonable price. 

This lot offers what is considered by many collectors to be the most famous concert poster from the 1960’s, Rick Griffin’s masterpiece, the BG-105. It features what is arguably the best artwork ever rendered for a rock concert poster.

This poster works on every level. It was created by the most inventive artist of the genre, promoting the most striking musician of the era at the most famous venue of all!

The story behind the poster is that promoter Bill Graham dropped the ball the first time Hendrix played the Fillmore by placing the groundbreaking guitarist THIRD on the bill (BG-69). The next time Hendrix came around, it was made clear to Graham by Hendrix management that he needed to make up for his previous lack of judgment. Of course, he went straight to Rick Griffin to create the best possible work of art. The rest is history.
