This handbill has been slightly trimmed and therefore has been placed in a CGC "restored" holder.

Original, First Printing CGC Graded Handbill featuring one of the most popular Psychedelic Grateful Dead images of all time! This trippy Acid Drop imagery was created by Steve Catron for a series of concerts by the Grateful Dead and Chuck Berry at the Carousel Ballroom on March 29-31, 1968.

The Carousel Ballroom series exhibited some of the more interesting and unusual promotional material of all time. Besides its unparalleled art and iconic bands in the lineup, this Carousel Ballroom handbill was produced in extremely small quantities. Very few examples of this issue still survive today, in ANY condition.
