Description

Grateful Dead, Mystery Trend 1967 Rock Garden, S.F. Concert Poster (AOR-2.212). An original diamond-shaped paper concert poster for the Grateful Dead, the Charles Lloyd Quartet and the Mystery Trend playing for a week at the short-lived Rock Garden venue in San Francisco, CA on Tuesday, March 28 thru Sunday, April 2, 1967. A rather hilarious typo accidentally states the run as "April 28 - March 2." Jerry Garcia's mother showed up to see her son during this stand, the first time she'd ever witnessed the Grateful Dead. This first-ever Heritage offering measures 16 3/4" square and grades to Very Good Plus condition. From the David Swartz Concert Poster Collection. COA from Heritage Auctions.

Literature: See Grushkin, Paul, The Art of Rock: Posters from Presley to Punk, Abbeville Press, New York, 1987, p.196 (illus.).

More Information: Poster has a small tape lift in one of the corners, plus a small diagonal crease there. There's a bit of surface grime or scuffing in the white area which says "a new concept in night clubs." General light grime and toning throughout.
