This vintage poster was produced for a Grateful Dead show in the Northern California town of Santa Rosa. This design is a true standout. The portraits of the Dead in this piece were rendered beautifully by Stanley Mouse (Workingman's Dead art) and Timothy Dixon created the image and lettering. We have auctioned the handbill for this event previously in our auctions but this is the first example of the poster we have ever offered.
1970 was a time of change for the Grateful Dead. They were about to alter their sound and songwriting structure to a more folkish acoustic style with new albums like Workingman's Dead and American Beauty. This original poster is a testament to that glorious era.
Condition: Tape, handling, drawing on reverse.
