Description

Grateful Dead 1966 Berkeley, CA "Danse Macabre" Concert Handbill. First-printing San Francisco Bay Area concert flyer for the Grateful Dead and Country Joe & the Fish playing at the Pauley Ballroom on campus at the University of California, Berkeley on Friday night, December 2, 1966. This handbill's deep colors of magenta and green and its wild, devilish artwork by Ruth Garbell (credited off the mad goat's ear) makes it very popular with collectors. To show you how young & innocent the Dead still were, they had played the tiny Matrix club in S.F. all week long leading up to this show.

This handbill has not been graded and slabbed by CGC because it's not pictured in the Art of Rock book or Eric King guide, so it's not part of a series they currently certify. Measures 6 7/8" x 10 1/2" and grades to Near Mint condition, with only a few small spots of light brown staining on the verso, and we do mean small. From the Tim Backstrom Grateful Dead Collection.
