This Grateful Dead concert took place during their 1981 Europe tour in Russelsheim West Germany. The artwork exhibits the “Dead Set” album cover art by Dennis Larkins with the entire gatefold image showcasing on the body of this large poster. In the lower left corner this poster also acts as an album promo piece with the Arista Records logo and the plug for the new LP Dead Set.
This beautiful issue has only passed through our doors twice prior. In August 2018 a lower graded Near Mint "83" example reached $431 in our auction. In any other collectibles market this poster would be worth many multiples of the previously sold example. It will be interesting to see what premium the market attaches to this superior example now.
Original Pre-Concert First Printing Dead posters remain highly sought after and are always competitively fought over when they appear at public auction.
