Official promoter-issued 3rd printing 14&1/4 x 20&1/2" concert poster for the Grateful ("Greatful") Dead appearing with Sopwith Camel at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco, CA from 8/19-20/1966.

 Art by Alton Kelley with Stanley Mouse, image ("Frankenstein") is # 22-3 in the Family Dog/Avalon series. (FD 22-RP-3

 Medium flat index stock poster is in excellent (B+) condition; there are tack holes in the upper left/right corners, along with a couple of VERY soft corner-tip/margin bends, a light amount of creasing along the right margin, a few tiny edge bends/dings and a nip tear or two scattered around the outer margin area and a stray stress bend/handling ding or two lurking within the image area, otherwise fine.
 
 According to some sources, this was the same weekend that Warner Brothers' Joe Smith signed the Dead to their recording contract. Historic Dead!
