This is an origninal THE DOORS & Chuck Berry concert ticket for Saturday Dec 30th, 1967 at the Winterland Auditorium, San Francisco. While this ticket series used by Bill Graham for that week was for both The Doors and Chuck Berry, this particular night was for Chuck Berry but The Doors were by far the most popular act at the time. Earlier in the week for 3 nights, Chuck Berry opened for The Doors. Then for the following 2 nights Chuck Berry was the main act and the opening acts were Big Brother and the Holding Company with Janis Joplin and Quicksilver Messenger Service. Also added was Jefferson Airplane on New Years Eve. This ticket is in great condition and the one you see in the photos with minimal wear and super nice color. This is the most colorful and best looking of the 4 tickets that were printed. These tickets were used for a very short time in the lobby upon entrance. This ticket originally came from Bill Graham's archives. He kept all the tickets from all the events he hosted or promoted. The archive also contained extra tickets that were not actually used to get in, but are exactly the same as they were from the printing run, only no wear.

Below is some information of what was going on with The Doors earlier that year when they hit #1 on the charts: Sat. July 22nd: American Bandstand - ABC Studios, Hollywood CA This show is a special edition where they countdown the top 10 songs for July 1967. The Doors "Light My Fire" is currently number two and is sandwiched between Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit" (3rd) and Procul Harum's "Whiter Shade of Pale" (number one). The Doors are introduced after Dick Clark asks an audience member what his favorite song is and the reply is 'The Crystal Ship'. The band comes on and does a lip-synched version of the tune and then Clark does a short interview with the band after which The Doors lip-synch their current hit "Light My Fire". Interview: Clark: "A lot of people seem to think you come from San Francisco. Is that true?" Morrison: "No. We actually got together in LA. We do play in San Francisco a lot." Clark: "That's the explanation of why you have that association. Why is so much happening in San Francisco? You figured it out yet?" Morrison: "The West is the best!" Clark: (chuckling) "All right! Fair enough!" Clark then asks Densmore a few questions about recording their first two albums and asks Robby about their future plans before turning back on Jim. Clark: "Have you selected a name for the new album yet Jim?" Morrison: "I think it's Strange Days" Clark: "All right. Fair enough. Well do the thing that set the whole music business on fire. Ladies and gentlemen, again, The Doors!" Sun. July 23rd - Mon. 24th: Eagles Auditorium - Seattle, WA Before their gig Jim sits in with openers the P.H. Factor for a couple of tunes and later The Doors put on a dramatic show full of vivid intensity. Review: "The intensity begins the moment they stalk on stage and it doesn't let up until the purge is over, the catharsis is complete. Even between numbers, there is no relaxation - no chit-chat, no horsing around. Like the great actors of Japan, The Doors project all the nore intensity when they are silent. The Doors are carnivores in a land of musical vegetarians". (Tom Robbins, Helix, Member of the Underground Press Syndicate, July 1967) " L I G H T M Y F I R E " H I T S # 1 Tue. July 25th: "Light My Fire" Hits Number One In anticipation of the occasion Jim buys his well known black leather suit. The album will go gold in September. Wed. July 26th: Masonic Temple - Portland, OR Fri. July 28th - Sun. 30th: Fillmore Auditorium - San Francisco (4th of 5 weekends) Prior to this evenings event Jim presents promoter Bill Graham with a helmet adorned with bright psychedelic colors and written across the front is "The Morrison Special". This is of course an apology for drilling him in the head with his twirling microphone during their last performance on June 9th and 10th. The Doors play marvelously and as good as ever with an extended 10-minute version of "Light My Fire" that totally erupts the packed auditorium. Also performing: Richie Havens; James Cotton The Fillmore West This was from the period in the late 60's and 70's when Bill Graham owned and operated the Fillmore West and Winterland venues in SF and Fillmore East in NYC. He decided to have his own promotional posters designed to promote the concerts. First, he would choose an artist to draw and print a poster customized for each individual show. The tickets were just a reduced facsimile of the posters and then typically color-coded to indicate multiple night engagements. Back then, the Fillmore West and Winterland were rather special venues that constantly held extended engagements by the then current and popular performers. Just about every well known band played there except for a few more established bands like The Beatles and Rolling Stones. This was probably due to being located in SF, which became th focal point for psychedelic music and counterculture in general. San Francisco was the ultimate city for rock concerts and Bill was both a promoter and owner 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. Today the original Fillmore in SF still operates with Live Nation having been leasing it and it is also expanding the Fillmore 'brand' by naming other venues it owns or leases around the country in cities such as Miami, Phili, Denver, Detroit, DC & NYC.
