San Francisco’s house band traveled to Torrance California in the late autumn of 1968. This scarce poster showcases images of the Dead - including Pigpen! and warns attendees to come clean to avoid apparent hassles from local police. This plea suggests that the venue was in trouble from the ”illegal behavior” of their clientele. The poster advertises what is believed to be the last show at this relatively obscure venue.

Very few posters or handbills show up for this concert. Looks like it was created yesterday not 50 years ago! Absolutely superb tied for the finest we have ever seen or handled of this issue! The previous 9.8 we sold realized $1506 the market is much hotter now as the appreciation for 9.8 material is off the charts!
