Up for sale is an EXTREMELY hard to find, ORIGINAL Grateful Dead poster. This poster has been PROFESSIONALLY RESTORED by the Poster Repair company in Baltimore, being gently cleaned and double mounted on Japanese MASA paper and pure cotton duck. In March of 1967, the Grateful Dead took a short break from playing their usual venues, the Fillmore and Avalon Ballroom, to play 7 nights at the short-lived Whiskey-A-Go-Go in San Francisco. Kantrowitz designed the poster for the shows, depicting Jesus. During this run of shows, Phil Lesh’s 27th birthday and the release of the band’s first album, making it a memorable time for the Dead. However, it’s believed that the shows never took place and the the other “band” was actually a front to push drugs. Features a quote from a song by Leonard Cohen entitled “Suzanne”. This poster, measuring 14.5 x 22, is on uncoated paper stock similar to Fillmore posters. Like many Grateful Dead posters, this poster was probably on a Deadhead’s wall and loved over the years. Certainly a rare poster and highly collectible for any Dead fan.
