Here is one of the Crown Jewels of 1960's rock and roll posters. This poster was produced for a run of 1968 shows in Miami by the Grateful Dead, Country Now and the Yardbirds when Jimmy Page was in the band. This is easily one of the top 5 most beautiful Dead posters and one of the rarest. In my 25 years of collecting I have seen maybe 4 or 5 examples of this poster come up for sale and those usually had issues like tears, tack holes or fading. This example has rich colors, as nice as the day it was printed. When I acquired it there as a clean fold down the middle which I had professionally flattened by one of the best conservators in the U.S. The poster is perfectly flat and there is only a faint hint of the previous fold visible from the back. There are no color breaks. This particular poster had a set of clean staple holes in the corners which naturally closed when the conservator flattened the poster. This poster has had zero restoration and is as close to mint and you will ever find. The Dead are long gone. Dead & Co are done and all things vintage Dead are being bought up by institutions. Whether you collect the Dead, or Jimmy Page/Zeppelin, this would be one of the Crown Jewels of your collection. This original poster measures 12 x 18 inches and is printed in 3 colors on light green paper. Thanks for looking!
Note: This item has been sold and is no longer available. This page serves as a historical price reference for Grateful Dead collectors and appraisers.
