This second printing poster is signed by the artist Lee Conklin!

Presenting a very popular reprint poster that offers the same popular and iconic art for far less than a First Print currently commands! This beautifully weird artwork from the hand of legendary artist Lee Conklin must be seen in person to be truly appreciated. Lettering and imagery that just intensely screams psychedelia to any and all who dare to view it. There is a reason that "The Art of Rock" devotes almost an entire page to this poster by itself! Nicknamed by collectors as the “Ear Head” poster it advertises shows by the Grateful Dead and Hot Tuna that were held at the Veterans Auditorium in Santa Rosa and one at The Barn Rio Nido California in 1969. Of all the designs Lee Conklin produced for The Barn venue in 1969 this Grateful Dead image is by far the most popular.
