Here we have a beautiful, post-concert RP-3 Printing Poster of one of THE KEYS to the entire Avalon set. This is the first authorized reprint of this issue, produced shortly after the shows. It tops every collector's list as one of the most desirable images. This poster holds unsurpassed historical significance. It is the first time that the Grateful Dead was associated with the symbol of a Skull, which would become the graphic identity of the band for decades to come. A great chance to own this historic Wes Wilson graphic for a fraction of the price the original pre-concert printing poster would realize!
