Here we have a very special limited edition "Great Went Map" poster produced for Vermont’s Phish in 1997. The Great Went was held in Limestone Maine during August that summer and was technically the 2nd of the long history of gigantic outdoor Phish festivals which followed and continue to this day. In recent years the band has used Watkins Glen as their go-to location.

 

This original poster was printed at the event on thick poster stock and hand-stamped in red at the bottom. There were 2 versions produced. A black and white version on newsprint and the color version on poster stock like the one you see here. A very low quantity of these specimens were printed. Phish fans and collectors are aware that material from their 1.0 era is extremely difficult to find in good condition like this piece. High demand against low availability. Kinda like the odds of seeing them play Col Forbin's Accent - Famous Mockingbird more than once every 3 years these days. Or less. Bid accordingly! Read the book!
