1968 AOR-255-A Grateful Dead Shrine Expo Handbill 8.5

This original handbill with a mock cartoon image by John Van Hamersveld uses black and white photo cuts of band members like Pigpen and Jerry Garcia to promote a 2 night run at the Shrine, featuring the "oldest juveniles in the state of California", The Grateful Dead. In the Art of Rock book featured on page 255, this handbill is EXTRA SPECIAL. John Van Hamersveld and the Grateful Dead do not appear together on designs often. There is a rabid demand for any posters or handbills featuring Pigpen.
