This extremely rare, original Pre-Concert First Printing Cardboard Poster features one of the greatest combinations of legendary talent to ever grace the same stage for a two night run at our nation's capitol: THE GRATEFUL DEAD & THE ALLMAN BROTHERS! An estimated 80,000 people attended the two shows played at RFK Stadium in Washington D.C. on June 9th & 10th of 1973.
There are only a handful known of this original poster. Later printings of this issue on paper with different text at the bottom and a darker brown colored border have surfaced for collectors over the years - however the Original CARDBOARD Pre-Concert poster like this one here is almost impossible to locate and stands in a league of its own!
The shows have a place in the hearts of the fans. The audio recordings of these shows at RFK in 73 are legendary because on the Sunday concert the Dead played an extra 3rd set and Dickey Betts & Butch Trucks of The Allman Brothers joined them on stage along with special guest Merl Saunders. AMAZING MUSIC was played at these shows! A unique piece of rock and roll history from two of the genre's most important bands!
Condition: hard crease, tape pulls, light damage and faded.
