Ladies and Gentlemen, we are VERY PLEASED to offer you this amazing specimen of one of THE classic Grateful Dead concert posters from the 1960’s. An entire page in the Art of Rock is devoted to this spectacular poster, page 287. 

In late January and early February of 1968, The Grateful Dead and Quicksilver Messenger Service set out on a tour of the Pacific Northwest. The Tour was dubbed the Quick and the Dead and six different posters, showing the six different venues, were issued. The posters, designed by George Hunter of The Charlatans, featured a unique, distressed, “Wild West” motif that is very popular with collectors.
