This is a supreme copy of one of the scarcest most popular and most desirable Grateful Dead concert posters of all time! This Original First Printing poster from this cancelled Dead show grades Near Mint 83 according to the very strict grading standards of Psychedelic Art Exchange. This poster is bright and fresh with very crisp paper. There are no dings nicks tears pinholes or restoration of any kind. This poster is featured in “The Art of Rock” Plate # 3.151

There is a one quarter inch corner bump in the upper left corner some very light handling about half way down the right side of the poster and an extremely light stain in the bottom center hidden in the words “street” and “grand”. On the reverse someone wrote the word “’68”. This is definitely the quality that most call MINT as we have fresh crisp paper with no tears or holes.

Without the light stain the poster would grade Mint 93. This is the finest copy that we have handled of this classic poster. It could be many years before a similar piece appears on the market. A classic rarity!
