This Alton Kelley Grateful Dead Original Handbill offers you the same world famous iconic art that appears on the poster for this run of shows that can trade for high dollars in this same state of preservation! The design pokes fun at the D.I.Y. nature of the Carousel. The Carousel Ballroom was a short lived venture that was funded and managed by the Dead and Airplane. After they lost enough money and realized it was not their game the space was taken over by Bill Graham and became the Fillmore West. Handbills and postcards are currently one of the hottest segments of the market.
