Description

Grateful Dead 1968 Kings Beach, Lake Tahoe Concert Poster Graded 9.6 (AOR-3.29). An original blue & orange concert poster from the north shore of Lake Tahoe - Kings Beach specifically - for the Grateful Dead and Morning Glory playing on Thursday-Saturday nights, February 22-24, 1968. Features a very cool graphic by artist Bob Fried of a skeleton skiing downhill with headphones on. This poster has been graded an ice-melting 9.6 Near Mint Plus by CGC (the Certified Guaranty Company).

The Dead were 200 miles from home, there's always lots of snow in February, and as the poster says, we're sure "Trip and Ski" was on their agenda. At an elevation of 6,250 feet in a town of just a few thousand, all bets were off and a high time was likely had by all. Deadheads know that selections from these gigs were released on Dick's Picks Vol. 22 in 2001. Measures 14 1/4" x 22" and grades to 9.6 Near Mint Plus condition. From the Fred Weinberg Collection. COA from Heritage Auctions.
