CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL Original 1969 FULL CONCERT TICKET__Fillmore W__EX

Description

Here's an
authentic
CREDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL
ticket,
August 11th, 1969 at the Fillmore West.
I'm running out of these CCR tickets and am listing my last 2 now.  This particular ticket was re-used by Bill Graham, something he did on many occasions.  It was re-used from a May 22nd show for a benefit concert.  He just had the box office stamp the back indicating this was a benefit show for the Haight-Ashbury Medical Clinic.
Very little wear, just a very slight impression going across the middle and slight paper clip mark on the right edge, middle area.
Also performing that night were the Northern California State Youth Choir and Bangor Flying Circus
.  The artist for this ticket/poster showing the doomed Titanic is Randy Tuten.
Purchase with confidence, I deal

in original vintage items guaranteed authentic.
FILLMORE WEST
T
his was from the period
i
n the late 60's and 70's
when
Bill Graham owned and operated the F
illmore and Winterland
venues in SF.  He
decided to have his
own promotional posters
designed to promote
the co
ncerts.  F
irst, he would choo
se
an artist
to draw a
nd print a poster
custom
ized
for each individual
show
.  The
tickets
were just a reduced
facsimile
of the posters and then typically color-coded to indicate multi
ple
night engagements.
Back then,
t
he Fillmore West and Winterland
were very busy
venues that
constantly held
extended engagements by then
curre
nt and popula
r
performers.
This was p
ro
bably
due to being located in SF, w
hich
became the focal point for psychedelic
music
and
countercultu
re
in genera
l
.  San Francisco was the ultimate
city for rock concerts and
Bill was
both a promoter and own
er of
the venues where they could play.
So that
he
could reconcile sales each night, patrons purchased tickets at the venue box office and handed them right back over at the door, thus most ending up in the archive in EX or NM- condition.  T
oday the original F
illmore
San Francisco
still
operates
with Live Nation
having been leas
ing
it
and it is also expand
ing
the Fillmore 'bran
d' by naming other
venues it owns or leases around the coun
try in cities such as M
i
ami, Phili, Denver, Detroit
, DC & NYC.
