Description

Original 1st printing 11" square concert mini-poster/large flyer for the Grateful Dead appearing with Country Joe & the Fish at the Carousel Ballroom in San Francisco, CA on 2/14/1968.

 Art by Stanley Mouse & Alton Kelley, image ("Be Mine") is featured in the Art of Rock book on page 182 (plate 2.174). *this is the VERY UNCOMMON GREEN-BORDER version/variant (there is an extra pass of yellow ink that the traditional version does not have)

 Medium flat index stock poster has been professionally restored to excellent (B+) condition; there are a couple of thin pressed-out/flattened hairline bends/stress creases, along with a couple of minor areas of touch-up around the image area and a touch of curling to the paper remains, but overall it is a very sharp/professional restoration job, whomever is responsible. This one looks REALLY nice to the naked eye.

 One of the more incendiary shows from early '68 (Bob Weir's infamous "Burn down the Fillmore, gas the Avalon" chant during "Alligator" was born on this night), the full show was released as part of the "Road Trips" series.  A GORGEOUS example of the (extremely uncommon) green variant/version of the Valentine's Day "Be Mine" image.
