This concert poster from the fall of 1986 is a very interesting piece of Grateful Dead-related history. Kingfish with Bob Weir and special guest Robert Hunter appearing at the Arlington Theatre in Santa Barbara. 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.

 

Condition: creases, handling, staple holes, foxing, attempted conservation top left and bottom right corners on reverse. Glossy paper.
