Description

 Original 1st printing 14 x 22&1/8" cardboard concert poster, along with a 8&1/2 x 10&7/8" 20-page concert program and 4 x 2" ticket stub (unknown date) for the Grateful Dead appearing with the Allman Brothers Band, Wet Willie and Doug Sahm at Robert F. Kennedy Stadium in Washington, DC from 6/9-10/1973.
 
 Design by Electric Factory Productions (the who were also promoters for these shows), semi-glossy-coated cardboard stock poster is in excellent (B+) condition; there are a couple of thin diagonal bends in the lower right corner, along with a bit of mild surface scuffing/wear, a few stray tiny edge dings scattered around the outer margin area, a trace of edge toning and a couple of tiny pin-prick spots here and there, otherwise fine.

The program (glossy-coated index cover with thin flat index pages) is in excellent (B+) condition with a few thin stress bends and a bit of handling wear on the outer covers, along with a hint of spine wear, otherwise fine. Program features full page ads for Capricorn Records, Out-of-Town Tours and Warner Brothers Records, band bios and more.

The ticket stub is in good/decent (B/B-) condition with a bit of wear along the perforation, light aging/handling/surface smudging and a couple of dark smears on the reverse, otherwise OK... the portion with the show date has been removed, so I'm not sure which show this is from.
 
 AWESOME set of artifacts from a MASSIVE pair of GD/ABB shows, a semi-precursor to the Summer Jam held in Watkins Glen in July. I'd be REALLY surprised if there were more than 5-10 example of the 1st printing poster out there... this is only the third example I have seen (and definitely the nicest-condition of all of them).
