Scope and Contents
The Mike Morgan Collection of Fillmore West Handbills contains ten handbills for rock music concerts promoted by Bill Graham (1931–1991), German-American rock concert promoter, and, for the most part, held at the Fillmore West (San Francisco, California) in 1970. The Fillmore West, which stood at Market Street and South Van Ness Avenue, was an historic San Francisco, California venue; named after Graham's original "Fillmore" location at the intersection of Fillmore Street and Geary Boulevard. All handbill designs are by David Singer, an American collage and graphic artist who created 75 posters for Graham between 1969 and 1990, and printed by Tea Lautrec Litho, also in San Francisco. Artists featured in the handbills include the Allman Brothers, Elvin Bishop, the Byrds, Chicago, Country Joe and the Fish, Eric Clapton, Delaney and Bonnie, Bo Diddley, Fleetwood Mac, the Guess Who, Grateful Dead, Buddy Guy, John Lee Hooker, Iron Butterfly, Albert King, B.B. King, Taj Mahal, Van Morrison, Mott the Hoople, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Poco, Procol Harum, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Leon Russell, Boz Scaggs, Steve Miller Band, Ten Years After, and many more. Each handbill features portions of the Fillmore's annual calendar on the reverse. There are two handbills that, in addition to shows at the Fillmore, also include information on shows held at the Winterland, Berkeley Community Center, and Oakland Coliseum. These are noted at the item level.
