Concert posters from the Pacific Northwest always enjoy top collector demand and Dead posters from this region must be considered amongst the most desirable. This Pacific Productions poster features an elegant and simple design that strikes us to be a mixture of Americana and Victorian inspiration. The photo of the Dead highly resembles cameo jewelry of the 19th century and was taken by the famous Annie Leibowitz.

This poster is the rare original poster for a concert that got cancelled and rescheduled to June 26. It was reprinted in black and white using the same basic design and photograph and the new date.
