Here is a reprint of one of the most important posters in the world of Psychedelic art. This poster for a September 1966 Grateful Dead concert at the Avalon Ballroom is one of the most coveted collectibles of all.
The FD -26 is one of the undeniable stars of the 1960’s concert poster genre and its place in history is well known. This classic Mouse/Kelley design has survived the test of time and is easily one of the most recognized images in all of Rock.
