The work of Fillmore poster artist David Singer is a sub-genre of poster art in itself. Singer's output was the largest of any single Fillmore poster artist. Initially, Singer's photo collage style often gets overlooked, as it's not as obvious as some of his predecessor's illustrations. However, with a second look, collectors discover the great depth, beauty, and symbolism in his body of work.



This Grateful Dead poster was made for a historic run of shows by the band. These four nights at the Fillmore were the very first after the release of Workingman's Dead and featured a rare acoustic set each night. The New Riders of the Purple Sage opened for the Dead at these shows.
