This CGC High Grade original poster from a Valentines Day Dance at the Carousel Ballroom is a Grateful Dead Classic. It’s Stanley Mouse’s riff on a vintage Valentine and features a goofy antique photo for the main image. No GD poster collection is complete without this odd shaped whimsical poster from 1968.

 

The wisdom printed on the bottom edge advises “Stick to Weed It's Safe”. The official release of this recording of this Concert is sold as Grateful Dead Road Trips Vol. 2. Phil Lesh claims this to be amongst his favorite shows.
