The Grateful Dead performed at Haight Ashbury's own Straight Theater in September of 1967. The show included the first appearance of Mickey Hart on drums with the Dead. Hart was invited to attend the show and then asked to sit in. The rest is history! Printed in low quantities, this poster seldom surfaces at public auction with this example being only one of a handful of CGC graded specimens we have ever offered. A very popular and treasured first-printing Grateful Dead concert poster! In July of last year, we auctioned a lower 6.5 CGC graded example for $1,920.00. This high grade 9.4 example will receive a lot of attention from eager collectors.
