This poster was produced and designed by artist Neil Passey for Kingfish at the Union Ballroom in Salt Lake City in April 1975. Neil Passey was one of the most prolific artists in Salt Lake City from the late 60s and 70s. He created hundreds of music concert posters, from Frank Zappa to The Doors.

The band Kingfish was founded by Matt Kelly in 1973 with New Riders of the Purple Sage bass player Dave Torbert. Kelly was a guest musician on the 1973 Grateful Dead album "Wake of the Flood". In 1974, Kingfish became more well known after Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir, a long-time friend of Kelly's, joined the band. Weir toured with Kingfish during the Grateful Dead's hiatus in 1975 and early 1976, and was a band member on their first two albums.
