From The Houston Freeburg Collection. This desirable early Grateful Dead original first printing poster is one of the most sought after images of the Bill Graham collection. It features art by the late great Wes Wilson and an image that is associated with one of the most iconic bands of the period with support by the Chicago Blues man the late great Otis Rush. All OP-1 posters of this issue are extremely light sensitive. The blue color tends to fade to grey very quickly. Collectors in the know are aware the BG-51 OP-1 very seldom surfaces at auction. It is often being hunted down by the community and we get numerous requests for it on a regular basis. Don't miss this opportunity to acquire one of the most treasured Bill Graham posters of the entire numbered series!
