A post-concert second printing issued weeks after the show offering the same iconic art for far less than an original first printing! This Lee Conklin issue is one of the more popular Grateful Dead posters from the BG series. The colors are all fiery red and orange to create a look of the band in flames. This stellar second printing is only the second CGC graded example we have ever auctioned and the FIRST to appear in a special CGC SIGNATURE SERIES holder! Read our blog dated 1/20/18 where we discuss the skyrocketing demand for signed material such as this lot.
