This is a very special poster from a run of very special shows the Dead played at the legendary Matrix in late 66. The soundboard recording circulates from the final night of the run and is a classic among collectors as an early Dead favorite. There is a wonderful expanded 15 minute version of “Viola Lee Blues” from the 12/1 show along with Jerry’s historical statement in-between songs: “This is the last set of our last appearance on a Thursday at the Matrix” giving the hint that the venue was closing soon.
We at PAE haven’t seen this poster come through our doors in such great condition EVER. Always in top demand in ANY condition this poster has to be amongst the finest known and our guess is less than 5 remain in this state of preservation. The FIRST CGC graded example to appear at public auction this represents a special opportunity for the advanced Dead collector. The Matrix was a tiny club that held just 150. How many posters could they have possibly printed?An amazing World Class collectible!
