Description

Grateful Dead 1966 Berkeley, CA Dance-Concert Poster. An original B&W poster, printed on cardstock with unusually large margins, for the Grateful Dead and the Final Solution playing a "Dance" at the Veterans Memorial Hall in Berkeley, California on Saturday night, May 14, 1966. We love the amateur psychedelic artwork found on early Grateful Dead posters like this. "The Final Solution" was written in by hand but fits into the art perfectly. Notice "Celeb. Drop-Ins" in small print; we wonder who?

This first-ever Heritage offering measures 11" x 17" and grades to Very Good condition. From the Tim Backstrom Grateful Dead Collection. COA from Heritage Auctions.


More Information: Poster has one pinhole in each corner. The upper right corner once got crunched a bit, so it has three diagonal creases. The lower right corner has a small tape lift, but it still blends right in. There's a tiny amount of surface blemishing present.
