A first-printing San Francisco concert poster for the famous Grateful Dead New Year's Eve 1978/79 show, which marked the closing of the historic Winterland ballroom on Sunday evening, December 31, 1978.

Designed by Stanley Mouse and Alton Kelley, this poster has been stylistically signed by Mouse in the lower left corner and Kelley in the lower right, both in gold pen. It was then graded a smelling-like-a-rose 9.8 Near Mint/Mint by CGC (the Certified Guaranty Company). Measures 19" x 28 ½". From the David Swartz Concert Poster Collection.
