A very cool 100% original Grateful Dead poster from 48 years ago! This is a tour blank poster which was produced and used for several of the concerts during the Dead's 1971 fall tour including the October Allen Theatre show in Cleveland. The double live album Skull & Roses (Skull F**k) with the same Mouse/Kelley design on the cover had just been released. An iconic piece of history!
