The Grateful Dead at The Bank! San Francisco’s house band traveled to Torrance California in the late autumn of 1968. This scarce poster showcases images of the Dead - including Pigpen! - and warns attendees to come clean as to avoid apparent hassles from local police. This plea suggests that the venue was in trouble from the ”illegal behavior” of their clientele. The poster advertises what is believed to be the last show at this relatively obscure venue previously known as The Blue Law.
Material from The Bank in Torrance is highly sought after by collectors. Original Pre-Concert First Printing posters like this are why so many NEW collectors are now rushing into the hobby. Amazing image. Legendary band. Historic venue. Museum Quality Condition. Third Party Certification and Authentication. Tremendous value! This example is only the third CGC graded specimen of this poster issue we've auctioned in over ten years!
