Description

Grateful Dead 1972 Milwaukee, WI Performing Arts Center Concert Poster. A compelling, highly creative concert poster for the Grateful Dead playing at the Milwaukee, Wisconsin Performing Arts Center on Monday and Tuesday nights, October 23 & 24, 1972. Made on thick cardstock and carrying a wicked image of rockin' skeletons amongst ocean waves, this was likely handed out at the shows, given the line "Free Commemorative Poster Courtesy of Daydream Productions of Milwaukee, WI." This first-ever Heritage offering measures 27 3/4" x 17 1/2" and grades to Very Good condition. From the David Swartz Concert Poster Collection. COA from Heritage Auctions.

More Information: Chameleon Restoration addressed any corner issues the poster had, touching up any printing or color where necessary and mending pinholes. It's funny, because the poster's front is so busy with the graphic that you feel like you couldn't see any damage, if it were there. So flipping the poster over reveals some handling creases to the thick cardstock, and four large tape stains in the corners. Those dots you might see on the verso are not pin holes, just blemishes.
