Description

Grateful Dead 1971 S.F. Winterland Ballroom Benefit Concert Poster. An original concert-advertising poster for the Grateful Dead performing at a benefit concert for the Sufi Choir of San Francisco on Wednesday evening, March 24, 1971. Yogi Bhajan, an American entrepreneur and yoga teacher, was also on the bill, as were the Sufi's, both singing and dancing. A very spacey looking poster with unusual lettering and symbolism throughout.

The Dead's performance of Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode" this evening was released on the band's self-titled 1971 live double-album on Warner Bros. Records.

This first-ever Heritage offering was printed on yellow cardstock, measures 12 1/2" x 19 3/4" and grades to Mint condition. From the Tim Backstrom Grateful Dead Collection. COA from Heritage Auctions.
