Grateful Dead Fillmore West Concert Uncut Poster Sheet (1968–1969)

Original Uncut Sheet | Bill Graham Presents | 28.25 x 21 Inches

This original uncut concert poster sheet commemorates the Grateful Dead’s legendary New Year’s Eve shows at Fillmore West, held December 31, 1968 – January 2, 1969, and presented by the iconic promoter Bill Graham. Measuring 28.25 x 21 inches, this large-format sheet features the complete, untrimmed design used for the event’s promotional materials, making it a rare and highly collectible artifact from one of the most storied venues and eras in live music history.

These Fillmore West shows marked a pivotal moment in the Grateful Dead’s evolution. As 1968 gave way to 1969, the band was emerging from their early psychedelic experimentation into a tighter, more defined sound, foreshadowing the roots-infused brilliance of Workingman’s Dead and American Beauty. The New Year’s run, ringing in 1969 with a cosmic celebration, is considered one of the most memorable of the Dead’s many NYE performances.

The poster design, part of the Bill Graham Series, was likely created by Wes Wilson, Lee Conklin, or another member of the elite cadre of artists who helped shape the psychedelic poster aesthetic of the late ’60s. The uncut format was not made available to the general public, as most posters were trimmed for display or handbill distribution—making intact sheets like this extremely scarce.

With vivid colors, surreal typefaces, and a layout emblematic of the San Francisco psychedelic art movement, this poster is more than just memorabilia, it’s a time capsule. Collectors prize these original sheets for their historical significance, aesthetic value, and connection to the Dead’s formative years.

An essential piece for any serious Grateful Dead, Fillmore, or psychedelic rock poster collector.
