Rather than announcing a single engagement, the horizontal composition combines two consecutive Fillmore West weekends into one poster, an uncommon format within the Bill Graham numbered series. The first weekend featured Poco, Siegel-Schwall, and Wishbone Ash, while the second presented Sons of Champlin, Mark-Almond, and Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen, documenting the increasingly diverse musical landscape of early 1971 as psychedelic rock gave way to country rock, progressive blues, jazz fusion, and Americana.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrr's richly symbolic composition departs from the bold graphic abstraction of many earlier Fillmore posters in favor of an intricate, illustrative approach. A luminous female figure framed by a radiant golden halo anchors the composition, surrounded by lions, horses, serpents, cherubs, and elaborate organic ornament inspired by Art Nouveau, Celtic manuscript decoration, and Pre-Raphaelite romanticism. The warm gold, salmon, and black palette lends the poster an almost illuminated-manuscript quality while preserving the visual energy characteristic of the San Francisco poster movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted by Tea Lautrec Litho, this epic poster represents one of the final months of the legendary Fillmore West, which would close later that year. Its uncommon horizontal format, dual-concert billing, and highly detailed artwork distinguish it as one of the most inventive and visually ambitious entries in the Bill Graham series, capturing a pivotal moment when the Fillmore's programming, and the broader rock landscape, was rapidly evolving beyond the psychedelic era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22.0\" x 28.0\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Norman Orr\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good, Age-appropriate wear, fading and toning.
