This poster is signed by one of the artists, the late Alton Kelley!

 

Here is a post-concert printing of one of the popular designs from the Avalon series. The poster was designed by poster legends Alton Kelley and Stanley Mouse. This poster features the famous Frankenstein image and Grateful Dead has been erroneously misspelled as well! This poster presents the unique opportunity to acquire a famous design of a concert by a famous band for a bargain price - since this is a reprint that was produced in the 1960s, but shortly after the concert.

 

This poster is designated as RP-3 by Eric King's classification: It is the third printing because the first two, OP-1, and OP-2, are original pre-concert prints. The RP-3 is the first and only official post-concert print.
