Original Listing Description

I am Rosie McGee, the photographer who took these photos of the Grateful Dead during the time I lived and worked with them. You can learn more about my history with the Dead on my website.I took these photos on March 25, 1966, at Troupers Hall in Hollywood, California, a small venue that was part of a retired actors' home. (One month earlier, I had joined Phil Lesh at the Dead's L.A. home, where we lived for a few months before returning to the Bay Area.)For those who care about such things, these images were lovingly salvaged digitized in 2010 from 44-year-old 35-mm proof sheets, the only trace I had of these photos, as the negatives were long gone. Restoration of the images was painstaking.I had these prints made by my custom lab, and I will sign each photo in the lower right corner of the print. When the ink is dry, I'll place it back into the archival sleeve. The bonus book is a 322-page 6x9 paperback - a memoir in which I tell my stories of living, working, traveling and dancing with the Dead during their first decade as a band. The stories are illustrated with 200 of my photos, which are rendered in black and white due to the nature of the printing process.I'll carefully pack the photos and book into a well-padded box and ship them to you.I WILL ONLY SELL THESE AS A COLLECTION, AND I WILL OFFER MULTIPLES OF THIS COLLECTION (and others) IF THIS IS WELL RECEIVED However each of these photos and the book are available at retail individually - either unsigned online, or signed directly from me.WILL SHIP BY USPS PRIORITY MAIL - ONLY TO U.S. ADDRESSES - AT NO COST TO YOU.
