This reprint poster offers the same popular and iconic art for far less than a First Print currently commands! The magnificent artwork was designed by Ray Simone for the Grateful Dead's appearance at Cameron Indoor Stadium Duke University on December 8th 1973. This is the ARTROCK limited edition printing produced in the 1990's due to the overwhelming popularity of this classic design. This poster is numbered 1412/2500 in pencil.
The Grateful Dead in 1973 were on the cusp of a transition in their sound and songwriting. Pigpen was no longer in the mix and the keyboard style of Keith Godchaux created new textures in the group's compositions. The long 31 song Saturday night show at Duke University was incredible and the soundboard recording has circulated between fans for decades as a deadhead favorite. This concert was just months after the release of their album "Wake of The Flood" which featured many of the newer tunes in the show - including the full Weather Report Suite. The Candyman was a highlight of the first set and of course they encored with One More Saturday Night!
Heavily damaged examples of the original first printing poster are worth $5 000 and up. This reprint poster in high quality condition provides a great opportunity to own this classic image for much less!
