Here’s one we’ve never seen or auctioned before. A rare and beautiful silkscreened poster with day-glo ink for a run of Grateful Dead shows in Washington DC that ended up being cancelled. Very few of these were made and because the concerts were cancelled at the last minute it’s a miracle artifacts like this one even survived at all in ANY condition. A true rarity! Our records show this is only the third example EVER of this poster to show in auction.
