Description

Original 1st printing 14&1/8 x 20" promotional concert poster for a "Win a Day Backstage" contest sponsored by Chicago FM rock station WLUP ("the Loop") and Budweiser for any of the following concerts held at Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy, WI in the summer of 1982; shows listed include: Grateful Dead (8/7-8), Elvis Costello and the Attractions (8/14), the Police (8/20), Todd Rundgren and Utopia (with Shooting Star, 8/22), Judas Priest (8/28) and Kenny Loggins (9/11).

 Design by Anheuser-Busch (basically a giant Budweiser label), thick cardboard letterpress poster is in excellent (B+) condition; just a thin vertical crease (about 2-3") in the bottom right margin, a couple of tiny corner-tip bumps and a stray surface scratch or two, otherwise fine (concert list is a paste-up covering a previous schedule).

 REALLY unusual early-'80's Grateful Dead concert-related artifact from the King of Beers; Check out the 8/8 show HERE:
