- Start Date
Original 1st printing 17 x 11" concert poster for the Grateful Dead appearing with the Youngbloods and Lee Michaels at Robertson Gymnasium on the campus of the University of California in Santa Barbara, CA on 5/29/1969.
Art by (and SIGNED in black razor-tip pen by) Mike Aydelott (Pigpen photo by Gene Anthony), image is featured in the Art of Rock book on page 370 (plate 4.116)
Medium-thin flat vellum stock poster is in near mint to excellent (A-/B+ to B+) condition; with the exception of a few VERY well-camouflaged soft handling/stress creases hiding within the image area and a couple of soft corner-tip roll bends, it is a nearly-perfect ARTIST-SIGNED* example of this EXCESSIVELY hard-to-find (and frequently requested) 1969 Grateful Dead concert artifact from Santa Barbara.
*I personally had the item signed by the artist at TRPS in San Francisco on 10/19/2024.
